SALISBUR Y.

Last Sunday morning as the church bells were tolling for morning service, the call to hi her service came to Eva, the oldest daughter of Mir and Mrs Chas. Fenn. Eva had been sick for over three months so as to be confined to the house most of the time, though for more than year previous she had been in miserable health. She has been, until in March, assistant postmistress for about five years, where she made many friends, for all grew to know her better there although she was born and brought up in the village. Resolute and ambitious she would not give up but retained her position in the office, though many times scarcely able to walk the short distance there from her home. Since her resignation her life has been slowly ebbing away with that dread disease, consumption. She was never heard to complain, but everyone always found her cheerful, happy, courteous, obliging to all patrons and with that gentle smile on her pale, wan face. She is one of whom it can be safely said ''she had no enemies" She leaves a father. mother. sister, two brothers and many friends to mourn her loss. The funeral was largely attended at StJohn's church on Tuesday afternoon, conduct ed by Rev J. H George. The remains reposed in handsome white casket wish silver trimmings. The bearers were, Howard Lsndon, Chas. Wagner, Chas. Miles, John Goodwin, Ward Egeleston, and Myron Clark.

ASHLEY FALLS,

For long time the people of Ashley Falls have been praying for rain. About two weeks ago the ladies of the place began to make preparations for lawn festival Like many other good things what the people prayed for and what the ladies prepared for came along at the same time. Such rain has not been seen in many day nor such a festival Mir and Mrs George Wood had generously said 'let the festival be on our lawn''. It would bave been just the place any other evening than last Thursday. The goodness of the Lord made it convenient for the ladies to think of changing their plans When MT and Mrs Wood threw open the am pie rooms of their house and "the lawn festival was held just north of the lawn. The ladies did well surprising every body. But so ample provision of cream, cake, and strawberries had been made by the ladies, and the invitation of Mir and Mrs Wood to come the next evening was so cordial that the people decided in favor of second evening The iberality of the people pleased the ladies. The exceeding kindness or MI and Mrs Wood captivated them. If all such gatherings were as fruitful oi good feeling it would be we'll for us to meet somewhat more frequently than once in two years M.
