She was in the High school at the Springs, 2 member of the M. B. church on probation, a member of the Epworth League, an offl- cer in the Sunday school, and faithful, devoted member of the choir. Her funer- al was solemnized at her late residence on Friday. Services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. H. D. Adams. Two of her school mates sang duets appropriate to the occasion. The profusion of flowers surrounding her casket and deposited In her grave testified to the tender love and esteem of her many friends. This is the second sad bereavement to this greatly afflicted family in the short space of four months, the mother, Mrs. Sarah Ann Amadon having passed from earth very suddenly on April 25th. The loss of her mother, acting on a very nervous sensitive nature, was undoubtedly one cause of the early death of Alice. The Epworth League will hold 8 memorial service in her mem- ory next Sunday evening at 2 o'clock at the church.
 She has gone to Heaven before us,
 But she turns and waves her hand,
 Pointing to the glories o'er her
 Ill that happy spirit land.
