beyond.
In the loss Of Mrs. Carrie Waugh we one
| aud all feel sorrow that time can not les
sen or eradicate. Her sweet smile and low
Ing sympathy Is ours no longer, her ever
ready, tireless hand Is stiled, but the MEM
DRY OF her pure and noble life will ever live.
Hunbly, reverently, tearfully, do we bow
to the will of the great Almighty, who made
aud loves all.
To the bereaved husband. parents and
sisters, the members OF the Maple River
Farmers Club do extend their most heart
felt ~ mpathy.

| friends and the high estimation in which
she was held by All comfort them in this
| their hour of sore affection.
