We learn with sincere sorrow of the
death of Mrs. Elizabeth Williford ut
her home in Rock Mills Township on
Thursday evening last, Mt the mature
age offs years. She was stricken with
apoplexy OH Monday morning before
and, without regaining consciousness,
fingered till Thursday, when she died,
surrounded by her loved ones. She
was the relict of the late Charles Will
liford, who died thirteen years ago,
and daughter Of the late Thos. Skel-
ton, of this County. Strangely cOinci-
dent with the circumstances of her
death is the fact that she died in the
same room i'll which she was born, and
in which she was married. She was
pure, honest, high-mindcd Christian
lady, who was beloved of all who knew
her, and whose influence will be great
ly missed in the community. She was
inferred at Roberts Church beside her
late husband.
The cOmmcndablc efforts of those
energetic and unliring ladies to secure
Il comfortable and moral rcsor, for
young people i'll the city in the shape
of public library should not be allow

it not progressive, and the time is ripe
now for Il tirst-class reading room,
comfortably equipped, III the heart Of

an hour after his daily task: where the
unemployed youth may spend profita-
bly, that leisure which might otherwise
be consumed in idle conversation or
