A Sudden Death.

Mrs. Lucius ]. Campbell died very sud
denly from heart failure, caused by la
grippe, on Monday afternoon. Mrs.
Campbell was very sick with la grippe,
but nothing of this kind was looked for;
in fact, not more than two or three min
utes before she was gone she was talking
cheerfully to her husband and two friends
that were present. Her sudden and un-
expected death has cast q deep gloom
over the community where she was so
well and favOrably known. Mrs. Camp
bell was an earnest devoted Christian, a
member of the Free Baptist church.
Their house was always open for their
brethren in the ministry, and many will
hear of her sudden death with sadness.
She will be greatly missed in the church
and Sabbath school, where she was a
faithful worker, as well as in the sick
rooms in the place. The funeral is to be
at the church Thursday at L O'Clock.
She leaves large circle of friends and
acquaintance to mourn their loss, but
they have this assurance that their loss
is her great gain.

Chas Wilson'S Barn DESTROYED by Fire.

ChaS. Wilson'S Barn DESTROYED by Fire.
A good deal of excitement was occa-
stoned about haltpaSt ten Sunday even
ing, by the discovery that Chas. Wilson's
barns were on fire. When the alarm
was given the fire was under such head
way that it seemed impossible to save
the house. The men in the village soon
arrived and with great and persistent
effort succeeded in saving the house.
The two barns and everything in them,
including, harnesses, blankets, hay, etc,
and three horses, were burned. The loss
of the horses was worst of all; two of
them were very promising young horses.
1t is a mystery how the fire originated, aS
no one had been in the barns after dark
and no light was used at the time. Mr.
Wilson and family are very grateful to
all the people who so courageously and
kindly used their utmost efforts to save
their home and care for the whole family.
The property was insured; there was
$500 on the barns, 5000 on the produce
and $50 each on the horses.
