Miss Mary f. f. Miles died, in the 25tl
year of her age.
Her attractive face and manners and
lovely character had won her a host OF
friends. During her illness which was
extended through more than a year,
this gentle sufferer, doomed to so early
a departure, has enlisted the sympathy
aud interest Of all. Death did not sur
prise her. She calmly awaited his
coming, making it often the subject of
conversation. She was consistent
member Of the Farmvile Baptist
church and her spirit has ere this had
a glad welcome given il by her loving
Savior and her waiting mother. All

loved be hers.

The first anniversary Of the Farm
vile Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton will be on the 18th of April. The
success which has attended the organ
ization here has been gatifying to our
people, and with the cooperation it
justly deserves from all, irrespective of
denomination, it will enter upon the
next new year Of its existence with
greatly increased measure Of success
and usefulness. Mr.. Howard, the sec
rotary. has the interests Of the assOcia-
ton at heart, and with the valuable
experience brought with him from his
native State, New York, and from Ne
braska, where he was for some time en-
gagged in the Y. NJ. G. A. work, he
knows just how to make members and
visitors feel comfortable and at home
in the Association rooms. In Mr..
Howard's annual report he makes the
following statements.
"At the close OF our year nearly a
thousand dollars will have been ex-
pended. More than two
thousand baths have been taken during
the wear. = For the reading
rooms there are five magazines and
ten daily and weekly newspapers. A
boys department has been organized
where they are admitted between the
ages of ten and fifteen years during the
afternoon hours" In concluding his
report Mr.. Howard reminds you that
the success of the Association depends
not upon the efforts Of any one man or
dozen men, but upon the cooperation
Of all the good people of Farmvlle.

would lend no less willing hand to

that think the work Of this union or

propose a "7ritsf' or a division of
profits" with any one. We feel sure
we can attain our object without hurt
