In the county of Escambia in Alabama
is the little town of Flomaton and there
lives Mrs. Mollie Grimes. She was a
good wife and mother but several years
ago she found her health slipping away
from her. She realized that this meant
the inevitable nervousness and irritability
that would surely lose for her the affec-
ton Of her children and husband, and
that as her health declined discord and
misery would appear in her home. She
was filled with the loving motherly in
stinct, but two miscarriages in succession
almost broke her heart She had almost
lost hope when the clouds rolled away
and the light of health and happiness
returned.
She tells her story in these words:

not raise any more children and had to suffer as
did. had lost two children by 1niscarriapes

MRS. GIBoNs DEAD.
The Esteemed Lady Passes Away Sud

The Esteemed Lady Passes Away Sud-
denly at her Home in This City
The people of this city were startled
Sunday to hear of the death of one of
our most esteemed townswomen, Mrs.
r. T. Gibbons, and the suddenness of
her passing away made it the more sad
and startling.
She attended church as was her usual
custom. yesterday morning, but before
the services were over felt slightly
indisposed and started home. Shortly
after IL o'clock she began to grow
worse and DR.. Logan was summoned
but could do nothing to save her life
and she passed away at about o'clock.
She has been troubled with rheu-
matism and her physician was of the
opinion that her death was caused by
the same settling in her heart.
Matilda Frances Wixon for that was
her maiden name. e.was born in Prince
ton, Illinois, March 1S43. In 1856, or
when she was but little more than
thirteen years of age, she was married
to r. F. Gibbons and in company with
her husband came to Oregon in 1862
She was the mother of five children
two OF whom are still living. George of
Sandy, Clackamas county, and Ralph
of this city. The only survivor of her
family is one sister who lives in the
east.
During the time that Mrs. Gibbons
has lived in The Dalles she has made
a host of friends who are grieved to
see a woman of such noble character
pass from our midst, and the heartfelt
sympathy of the entire community is
extended to the bsreaved husband and
sons.
She was sincere christian, kind
and devoted wife and MOTHER and one
who merited the respect of all who
knew her.

The Dalles for number of years and
had many friends and acquain tahces
here who will be grieved to learn oi
her sad end.
She was born in the state of Missouri
April Z, 1858 and when five years old
moved to Illinois where she lived for a
mum Der of years. She came west with
her family and has lived in this city

who resides at Hillsboro.

allowing pupils to deposit questions,

at stated times answering them for

the pupils is boy of brilliant parts;
so brilliant, in fact, that he seems

still worse. into dashed genius" of |
