OBITUARY.

Mrs. Bell Henderson, was born
at Pikeville, Ky, and died in Hunt
ington, w. Va, juno II, at 10
o'clock a. m. The last thirteen
years of her life, were years full of
sorrow and days of grief. Her hus.
band, Mr.. Joe. Henderson, was
killed in a steam boat explosion,
March l6, 1882, since which awful
event she has not ceased to mourn.
Her sorrow was so great that she
frequently expressed a strong desire
ITO depart and be with Christ. :"
She was u woman of naturally a
kind spirit; but the grace of the
Lord Jesus Christ, and the abiding
sorrow of Der life, SO rendered her
heart, that it seemed to swoeten
her disposition, so that she was a
favorite wherever known. Though
she seemed always to walk in the
shadow of March 16, 1882, yet she
bad ga sad, sweet smile" for all her
friends. Her husbands boat never
passed their Henderson home, with
out this devoted wife being on the
river bank, to return any sign OF
recognition which might be given
her. Though the night was dark
and stormy, she was at her accus-
toned place, and had light in the
window for her pilot.
When her husband fell at his
wheel, her life boat drifted sad and
lonely down times rapid river.
For thirteen sorrowful years she
thus drifted. Often in storms of
bereavement, and many times she
would exclaim; go, why was [ not
takepl" The last few months of
her "trip" her suferings were in
tense.
Finally her boat drifted beneath
the dark willows, on the morning
of June IL, 1895, and only the angels
saw her die. But the weary one
has gone to rest.
The sorrowful one is now in per-
feet peace. And in a new made
grave by her own Josie's side she is
sleeping sweetly. "Asleepin Jesus,
O, how sweet"
o, yes, we will greatly miss one
friend, but we can meet her, "Where
sad partings come no more"

1t begins to strike us that Point
Pleasant cannot longer do without
water works no matter what they
may cost. If we wish to preserve
any insurance on our buildings we
cannot expect to do SO unless we
have some protection against fire,
and water works, with good fire
plugs properly distributed over the
town would in the end prove the
most efficient as well as the most
economical protection against fires.
We may just as well recognize this
fact at once and get down to bust
ness.
