Mrs. e. j. Northcutt Dead.

Aunt Eliza Northcutt died at her
home two miles east on Benton City
Sunday, March 10, in the 64th year Of
her age. The funeral services were
held at the Benton City Baptist church
Monday afternoon at 8 O'Clock, con-
Quoted by Elder @. A. Mitchell, of
Montgomery City, aftsr which the re-
mains were laid to rest in the Benton
City cemetery.
Aunt Eliza had been sick for some
time. She had all the care that loving
bands could bestow and the best med
icai aid that could be furnished. But
with all this the chilling hand Of death
was stayed but for a brief season.
She leaves three children, two
daughters and one son, and q host Of
relatives and friends to mourn her
death. To know her was to love her,
and her removal from our midst leaves
a shadow and a vacancy both In this
church and community. She was ever
ready to help in any good work. Her
patience in suffering, reliance upon
God and hopefulness of Immortality
led her to deaths door in the triumphs
of a living faith. She has left MS higher
consolation than a dying testimony In
the memory of a blameIess and well
spent life.
"Her body rests beneath the sod,
Her spirit bright Is with her God,
But when we see the path she went,
The way that she had trodden,
A gentle voice above us chants;
She's gone straight up to heaven

SprIug Announcement.

To my patrons and the public:
am fully prepared this season to
furnish anything you may desire in
my line. In making my purchases 1
have tried to anticipate the wants and
tastes of all. The styles are SO varied
that attempt at description would be
useless. (They must be seen to be ap-
preciated.) Whatever the price, how
ever, your hat will be stylish, the diff
ference being IN the quality of goods
and the quantity of trimming; for no
one would expect to buy a fine hat at
the same price of one of a cheaper
quality. My motto, as in the past,
shall be to sell fine goods at a very
close margin and cheaper goods at the
same proportion. An early inspection
of my goods and a critical comparison
of my prices will pay you. Everyone
cordially invited. Very truly, your
friend, P. w. HARDING.
