SAD AND SUDDEN.
Such was the Death of Mrs. James
B. Donald, Who is no More.

The following account of Mrs. J. B.
Donald's death, eldest daughter of MIR.
Stephen Snyder, who resides a few
miles south of this city, is taken from
the Savanna (IlI.) Journal:
The above head lines tell too truly of
the demise of lady of this city, who
in the short space of three DAYS was
beyond, leaving a home in desolation, a
husband nearly distracted with grief
and family of motherless children.
Tuesday morning Mrs. James B. Donald
wife of Baggageman Donald, of the c.,
NJ. & St. P. road, was in her usual
health. During the dav she was taken
i'll. She died at $50 Friday morning,
after so short a sickness, but which was
attended with great suffering. None
knew that death would enter the happy
home and leave lis everlasting mark
The husband, as he left on his run
north, little thought of the calamity to
come upon him and his loved ones
When he reached the platform on his
return, messenger Informed him that
Lizzie" was nearing her end Hur-
rldly reaching home, he found his COM
panion speechless, and in three-Quarters
Of an hour the pallor of death spread
over the patient face, the eyes closed to
earthly light, and the spirit of devoted
christian wife had flown.
'Tis sad story. Mr.. Donald. with
six little children to face the world
without their mother, are left to mourn
the one so dear to them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Donald had resided in
Savanna about four years, though they
had before made their home here, as
we'll as in Sabula. None knew the
family but to respect and esteem them.
Mrs. Donald was a member of the
Baptist church, and was living a true
christian life. Her acquaintance was
large, and she was universally looked to
as a noble character. Her sudden TAX
ing away is shock to her legion of
friends. Death came almost without
warning and the sting is felt by all who
knew the good lady and her family.
To the husband and father who mourns
there is little of comfort that can be
said The blow is severe one. To the
little sons and daughters, nearly all of
whom are too young to realize their
great loss, tender sympathy is given

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Don't be in a Hurry.

Nothing is more fatal to success in
business than this all-absorbing, grasp
ing anxiety for immediate wealth. The
very ambition to be rich, to accumulate
what is called "a big pile, " is often self
defeating, leading to ruin and misery.
1t blinds the judgment of its victim and
lures him into visionary schemes and
dangerous speculations, until he loses
all taste for slow and sure gains and all
capacity for calm and logical reasoning.
TIE great fault with many who start in
the race for riches is that they are not
willing to creep before they walk, to
walk before they run, to run before they
attempt to fly. Itis the exceptional per-
son who is content with slow gains, will
ing to accumulate riches, penny by
penny, dollar by dollar. The majority
Of us 90 racing on in pursuit of fortune

lieyes that the motto, make haste
slowly" is a good one, and who regu-
lates his life thereby. Though he is
often called an old fogy, such men are

following facts:

Hector, Minn., aged IS years. In reply
to my questions Mr.. Nixon replied as
follows:
Geo. c. Nixon was my older brother,
and he located at Grand Rapids in 1888
or 1889, and that winter he built the old
Nixon mill on the place afterwards
known as Strong's mill. Il am not clear
whether this was the Lyon, Garrison or
Rablin site.) The mill was sold in 1919
to Bloomer & Chamberlain, of Galena.

of mill run lumber, to be delivered in
the eddy below the mill. He only re-
ceiVed one small raft of this lumber be-
fore he died. His death took place at

the mill site and log shanty from an old
Frenchman bachelor who was living
there all alone in log shanty 20 feet
square, and paying him $500 in bank
currency brought from New York. This

sudden death of Mrs. Susan Coats,

Mrs. Bakers Talks.

Mis-. c. O. Baker, the lady lecturer,
who has been giving parlor talks
to the ladies of the city, at the Adelphi,
has proven herself to be a real master
of the subjects which she has been
treating. She is not only thoroughly
informed on the various phrases Of the
subject of hygiene, but her style of
treating those subjects are of that in
structive, fascinating and impressive
character, which makes her talks
matters of real interest, pleasure and
profit to her audience. A Herald
representative saw Mrs B. w. Foster,
one among the first ladies of the CITY
in intelligence and social standing, and
upon inquiry as to the character Of
Mrs. Bakers talks, she said: "IOu
NAV say that these talks are delightfully."-
entertaining and instructive. The lady
is we'll informed upon the speciaIties
which she discusses and cannot fail to
attract the interest and admiration Of
her hearers To those who are in
delicate health she imparts a large
amount of information which is Of
greatest interest to them" Mrs. Baker
will remain in the city till Monday,
when she will go to Charleston. She
will certainly carry with her the best
wishes of Huntington ladies, who were
fortunate enough to hear her talks

his five years of travel he has already

letter was not intended for publication,
and the writer does not know Of its use
in such manner, we take the liberty of
publishing same believing that Lute's
many warm friends in the twin cities
will be interested in what he has to
say. 1t will be noticed that this letter
was f0rty-three days en- route from the
