The death of Miss Alvina Us
tynik, which occurred after a
brief illness, at her home near
Wesley. last Wednesday night,
December 10, 1897, has cast a
gloom over the entire community,
for Miss Alvina had just budded
into lovely young womanhood
and was the life and light of her
home and the circle in which she
moved. Our hearts are sad and
full of sympathy, for the be-
reaved parents, brothers and
sisters. Death has robbed them
of all that was sweetest and
brightest. Miss Alvina was con-
scious that the end was near and
babe a tender farewell to rela-
tives and friends. There was
nothing left undone that loving
hands and hearts could do; but
"God doeth all things well'' and
our loss is Heavens gain. Her
remains were followed by large
concourse of friends to the Wes-
ley cemetery and there laid to
rest, Rev. Browning, of Bren-
ham, conducting the last sad
rites.

well as amply compensated for
whatever benefits they may have
incidentally conferred on the

Marriage Notes.

The daily papers might do well
to report the state of the marriage
market under 'Angling Notes. -
A woman does not deplore the
death of her first husband after
she marries again, but the second
husband often does.
A fellow often thinks a girl by
any other name would be as
sweet, but he finds out his mis-
take after he gives her his own.
Many a man after marriage
wishes he had one tenth of the
money he had fooled away on
other girls, to buy a baby car
riage with.
When a bride has been married
about three weeks she begins to
write home for the old clothes
she refused to take with her.
Before marriage every man has
a theory about managing a wife;
but after marriage its condition
and not a theory that confronts
him.
