and accomplishes his work. In proof Of
this double wedding took place Thursday,
August 2nd, at 8 o'clock, P. M, at the resi-
dence of Mr.. VIM. Herbert, near Edwards
Ferry AS it is not q common occurrence
for Cupid TO make double strike like this,
OF course the community was much stirred,
and not small number OF relatives, friends
and neighbors honored the happy event with
their presence. The contracting parties were
Mr.. Chas. Lawrence and Miss Maggie John

Death OF an Estimable Lady.-on

Death OF an Estimable Lady.-On
Monday last this entire community was
panied and shocked BY the intelligence that
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Bouic, wife of our fell
low.townsman, Mr.. David Fl. Bouic, had de.
parted this life at her home in this town.
Mrs. Bouic was born in 1916 and was the

name in this county. In 1865 Mrs. Bouic
became member of the Baptist church at
this place under the ministration of Rev. s.
r. White, by whom she was baptized, and by
whom she was married to Mr.. Bouic in the
year 1875. She was well. known in this
community since the days Of her girlhood,
and was univers ally admired and respected.
In all the varied relations Of life she acted
well her part, and in her death all feel the
loss of good woman. Kindness Of heart
and desire to do all in her power to al.
leviate the sufferings and privations Of others
were main points In her character and many
q sick room has been frightened BY her
kindly presence. Her death, while sin
cerely mourned by all, comes with q darker
cloud OF sorrow upon an aged and loving
mother and devoted husband upon whom
she lavished the love of a pure and generous
heart. In their bereavement her family have
the sympathy of all our people.
On Wednesday after religious exercises of
an impressive character at her late home by
Revs. s. r. White, l.. X. Milbourne and l.
l.. Lloyd, her remains were followed to their
final resting place in Rockville Cemetery by
a large concourse of relatives and friends,
both from the county and the District Of
Columbia.
