Gone With the Angels.

i Last Saturday AFTERNOON the anSe-
of death visited our city and pluckeo
from our midst the flower of the com.
munity, and left a cloud of sorrow
over our people never to be forgotten
Mrs. G.. Fl. Munro, wife of our es-
teemed sheriff, was taken sick scarce
| ly week ago with that dread dis
ease pneumonia, and last Friday
evening it was announced to her
many friends like a knife thrust
through their hearts that she could
not live and was hourly expected to
pass away. Everything that kind
and loving hands could do was done
to make the end happy and peaceful,
and at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon
she was called by her Father and
went forth to meet him with heav-
emily smile on her lovely face, and
surrounded by Relatives and mem
bers of the household. Mrs. Munro
was identified with every good and
charitable work for the benefit of
suffering humanity. To know her
was to love her, and during her resi-
dence in Morris she built up lovely
home and collected around her an
unlimited number of close and warm
friends who deeply mourn the loss of
kind and loving sister. She held
the honorable positions of Worthy
Matron of the Order of the Eastern
Star and vice president of the Ladies
Floral Club, both of which sorrowful
ly mourn the loss of kind and earn
est worker in their behalf.
Mrs. Munro's name was Eliza Somes
and she was born in Somerville,
suburb of Boston, Mass, in October
1849. She was married at St. Paul,
Mimi, in 1879, and was the mother Of
four children, three Of whom, two
boys and a girl survive her. They
had also an adopted daughter, Gladys
Bolton, whose mother, sister of Mrs.
Munro's, died year ago.
Mrs. Munro leaves a sorrowing
household of a husband and three
children who mourn the departure of
a loving and devoted wife and mother.
The entire community extends their
heartfelt sympathies to the grief
stricken family and relatives, and
pray that God may comfort them in
these dark and distressing hours.
The Boss Washing Machine is un-
equalled, and in fact is the only sue
cessful washing machine made. It
washes perfectly clean, works smooth
and easy, cannot tear the clothes.

The geography social held at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. John
son last Friday evening was a thor
oughly enjoyable affair as we'll as
financially successful. An elegant
musical program was rendered by
the orchestra. The newness of the
social gave it extra life and vim and
the fun and laughter never subsidized
from start to finish. All expressed
themselves as being more than pleas
ed with the entertainment.
Owing to the death of Mrs. G.. H.
Munro and at the suggestion of some
of those most interested the Birthday

place and with the same program as
