THE GRIM REAPER DEATH.

On Tuesday night, after lin gering illness of several months, Miss Eula, daughter of E. L. Woodfn, passed to her home be- yond. The funeral services, con ducted by Rev. A c. Graham at the residence on yesterday after noon, were largely attended by sad hearted friends.
 The writer has often had occas- ion to comment on the brilliant and promising career of this esti- mable young lady. Last Fall she was honored by being elected to the Chair of English in one of the leading colleges in Kentucky after having graduated with high hon. ors from the same college. She was a noble and grand character and there is not one of her many, many friends (for she was loved by all who knew her) who is grieved by her death, more than the writer May God, in His inf nite wisdom, comfort the hearts of the bereaved ones.
