Mrs. Mary A. England.

After two weeks Of serious illness and
In constant expectation of the call that
would summon her before the throne Of
the Eternal, the spirit of Mrs. Mary A.
England passed to that bourne from
which no traveller returneth, that
eternal rest which is vouchsafed for
those who lead the live of uprighteous
ness, such as that Of deceased has ever
been.
Surrounded by her children and other
relatives she peacefully passed away at
$50 O. clock on the morning of the 9th
instant, closing long life Of useful
ness. Mrs. England was born at
Alexandria, Va, September 0, 1924. In
1885 her parents moved to Little Rock,
where In 1840 she was welded to W. +.
England. In 1848 the deceased and her
family moved to Van Buren,, and since
that time she has resided here con.
tinuously. Eight children were born to
her, only four of them surviving here
these being Mayor W. T. England, Mrs.
C. T, Ward, Van Buren,; Mrs. r. M.
Littlejohn, DesArc, and Mrs. +. T.
johnson, st. Louis. These and other
relatives were at her bedside when the
final summons came.
Mrs. England was woman not caring
for the filter of society life, but when
adversely came and sickness invaded the
family Of any Of her acquaintances then
her beautiful character showed itself,
and many citizen Of Van Buren, has
had occasion to bless her gentle hand
as she smoothed the pillow Of the sick
and dying. AS friends tribute to her
character very truly contained; III
lives are indeed numbered by deeds, not
by years, how rich and full was hers. -
Sunday afternoon the friends Of the
departed assembled at the NJ. e church
to pay their last respects and rs showing
how generally she was beloved it is only
necessary to state that the large church
edifce was inadequate to hold the
assembly, The remains were inferred
In Fairview cemetery.

Thursday night was the second an
niversarv Of the disastrous cyclone
which visited Fort Smith snd Crawford
county.
There ia considerable Improvement
reported all around in the quality of the
light furnished by the electric light
company.
Hold.ups that are meant for practical
jokes are dangerous business. as the
intended victim Of the joke might not
see 1t In that light.
"Desds ~ rfuits, words are but leaves" The
many wonderful cures effected by. Hoods
Sarsapsrilla are the fruits by which 1t should be
judged. These prove 1t TO be the great remedy
for all blood diseases.
