Crawford County Horticultural So

Crawford County Horticultural So
ciety holds meeting today and among
other matters of Importance will discuss
the advisability of sending representa-
tives to the various points, where they
expect to market their products, to note
the condition of the market and the con-
dition of the shipments on their arrival.
This was done by the old society some
years since and we believe proved profit
able. AS the condition now stands the
societies have only the word of the con-
signee as to the condition.

to-day from Christ Church, Fifth and
Scott streets, Rev. G. Gordon Smeade
officiating, and large concourse of
sorrowing friends and relatives attend
Ing to drop tear upon the bier of her
who was beloved of all. The profound
sympathy of all the community is ex
tended to the grief stricken family
whom the Grim Reaper has thus be-
reaved of devoted wife and loving
mother. The funeral services were inn
pressive and the words of the pastor, :,
breathing tender heart sympathy
! were like the balm of Gilead poured
upon wounded hearts, and freighted
with the promise of future rewards for
the nobly great, such as the one whom
they were called to mourn.
Mrs. Dibrell was AZ years of age last
September. She was the daughter of
Lambert Reardon, deceased, one of Lit
tie Rock S pioneer citizens. Her mother,

A Gloom Prevades Our Community

A Gloom Prevades Our Community
For ten days our community had been
listening almost with the solieitude of a
near relative for words of encourage
ment from the bedside of Mrs. J. w
Mckinney, who was known to be lying
dangerously i'll at her home. As toward
the middle of the week the news became
more encouraging it heaved a sigh of
relief. On Thursday the reports of her
condition were such as to point to a
certain recovery and her friends were
not prepared for the announcement that
greeted them Friday morning that dur
ing the early hours her spirit had flown
to that realm from which there is no
return. A great gloom was cast over
our community for she was general
favorite whose loss from the social circle
was one that would be long felt.
To the bereaved husband the com
munity extends its sincerest coincidence
in this hour of trial, as it does the sur
viving brothers and sisters.
Services were held over the remains
at Trinity Episcopal church at Pm.
Friday; from there they were taken to
the depot to be conveyed to her former
home at Girard, Ill. there to be in
tered by the side of her mother and
