Obituary.

The subject of this sketch, Mrs.
Margaret Ross. nee Wyliel was born
in Lawrence county, Aug. Both, lslj:
was married to Simeon Ross, Jan. nth,
1874: and died May 10. 1900 at the home
of her daughter. Mrs. j. W. Max
well on Fair River, Lincoln County.
1t was the writer's pleasure to enjoy
long acquaintance with this gen
tie woman, who has so recently left us
for a brighter home. Her face was an
index to the love and peace that dwelt
within her heart, and were manifested
in her life: and the words of trust we
have heard her speak, were but the eX-
preston of those Christly principles
that actuated her being. She was an
earnest and constant reader of her Bi-
BILE, and had fondness for talking
about the precious truths contained
therein. The trust she manifested in
her Heavenly Father, rendered her very
presence almost an inspiration. 1t IS
always sad to chronicle the death of a
loved one: but Just here the Angel of
consolation whispers to us: 1t is best
God does all things right, and when
ever He atilicts. He accompanies the AT
fiction with the sweet balm of His di-
vine comfort.
She left one son. Jno. W. Ross, and
one daughter. Mrs. j. W. Maxwell. with
whom she lived the past few years, and
of whom too much cannot be said in
her praise for having SO faithfully and
untiringly ministered to the temporal
needs of her aged mother. Her remains
were laid to rest in the Fair River
cemetery. surrounded by large con
course of relatives and sympathizing
friends In these hours of anguish,
when God in His wisdom removes our
loved ones, words of friends however
sympathetically spoken, are inadequate
to the binding up of our bleeding
wounds. How natural then it is. how
important, that we turn our eyes and
| lift our hearts to the God who loves
and sympathizes with us all, and whose
power to heal is infinite.
c, W. MAXWELL.

last night on the charge of being the MUIR

Young Miller was at work on the rail-

rest of all.
Miller and Hardy claim to have played
a game Of ball at Bethel, fifteen miles

James Hardy, the accused; Boone Grace,
Herman Smith, William Green, Frank
Saffel, Charles Loken, Alonzo Grace and
James Flynn. John and Will Miller,
brothers Of Elmer were in the party, as
well as several others.
The game Of ball began at o'clock and
was not finished until $50 or thereabouts.

rig, on horseback, and another on a.

Hardy, went to the Miller home, which Is
