Death of Mrs. Hilton.
Mrs. James G. Hilton died last Fri
day night at her home near Fellow
ship church IN this county. This was
the saddest death of the year, as Mrs.
Hilton was in her usual health FridHy
morning, had prepared picnic din
ner for the family, and Mr. Hilton and
the children had gone, enjoyed the oc-
casion and returned, finding her still
we'll. But before the shades of the
evening fell upon the earth the good
wife and mother was stricken and in
midst OF the night the precious life
departed. How strikingly troe was
the Inspiration of Wilder when he
wrote these lines:
"My life is like the summer rose
That opens to the morning sky,
And ere the shades Of evening close
Is scattered on the ground to dle."

day over the loss of wife and mother

and comfort alone in the great Fa,her,
whose finger points to the Paradise OF
the immort tails where loved ones shall
one day meet again amid the glsdness
of the eternal ages.-Greenwood In
