At the Marshall County Farmers In
stitute. in session Holly Springs last
week, paper was read. How to Make
Farm Life Attractive and Hold the BOYS
At Home" by George J. Finley, which
was one of the ablest OF the meeting and
on the most pertinent question of the
day. lie stated that the greatest in
csntive to boys to leave the farm was
the lack of social advantages and the
unremunerative toll OF agricultural life.
lie said that the remedy lay in settling
in farm communities or in neighbor-
hoods, with social life 7nbroken, and in
the use Of improved methods and i'm
plements. the reading Of good agricul-
tural and other good literary magazines
and papers. Ii was largely question
of dollars and cents and social advan-
tages. and the farmer should receive as
thorough an education as any other pro-
fesslon.

OBITUARY or MISS ELLA N. slooM.

On the afternoon Of October a0tt there
passed from this world TO b sfbsttsr land,
the spirit OF Miss Ella n. Bloom we'll.
known and much beloved 10 Las vegas.
She was born In MartiosburG, Penn aud
spent her early life there. Coming TO Las
Vegas Id 1881, she soon begsn work 81 9
teacher, profession she loved and
adorned. Teaching at different times 10
Jemez Springs, Buena Vista aud Mora, sht
found opportunity 70 exercise her talent,
her gentleness, patience and sweetuess Of
temper fitting her peculiarly tor such :
labor Of love. How many amons those
pu pills received lasting impressions OF eter'
nal life, as we'll a. their first instructions
for fitness In this, only the Great Teacher
knows. I.
Being ambitious to At herself more fully
as a teacher, she spent three years In the
normal school at Los Angeles, Cal. he.
turning here, she taught Ia the old town
public school for q year, and last summer
was elected to one of the departm ents Of
the East Las Vegas public school, but just
before the fall term opened, she WAS smit-
ten with the fatal disease which terminals
ed yesterday. s.
or so rare a character II Is aprivflege
to speak, in these days of seif-seeking and
time serving, while only those who knew
her best had Insight to her true worth.
So u%nobtrusive was her goodness ard so
modest her words that few perhaps APP
p~reciated the unselfshness and quiet sac
riHce which characterized her life. Even
during her long Illness she forgot her pain
and weakness in thoughtfulDess for others,
planning clothing for. the needy. and en-
Joying, in anticipation, their comfort when
supplied. Verify, '.he that loseth his life
for my sake shall find IT," and she already
knows the beautiful truth Of this promise.
Soon after coming to Las Vegas she
united with the Presbyteriau church, and
re. united by letter on her return from
California. The boys Of her Sunday
school class will not soon forget her smile
of welcome, and faithful words of instruc-

gave such tender care, will ever love to
recall her sweet ministries and self-forget.
