DEATHS.

Died, at her home In Odessa, May IL,
1896, Mrs. Elizabeth McNeel, aged so years.
Died, near Dover, May IL, 1896, Maude,
daughter of MIR. and Mrs. Beauregard
Slusher, aged 8 years.
Died, in this city, May 10. 1896, after a
protracted illness, Mrs. Eliza Hook. wife
of Mr.. James B. Hook, aged Al years.
Mrs. Hooks death might have been
called a sad one had not it been from the
fact that b passed through the portals
of death with that faith in Christ and that
true resignation so characteristic of a true
Christian. While those who were closely
bound to her by the ties OF blood and
friendship suffer great loss, they yet have
the grand consolation that comes from
the death of one whose life was we'll
spent. The INTELLIaENcER extends its
sincerest sympathy to the bereaved
relatives.
