promise of abundance of rain. Before

weather did not dampen the ardor of
the delegates to the Association.
Water is a very considerable ele-

Miss Ida G.. Woodal.

Miss Ida G. Woodal daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Woodal
ofTod township died at the home
ofher sister, Mrs. Andrew Wash
abaugb last Sunday afternoon
aged about "a years.
Miss Woodal had lived with the
Washabaugh family last summer,
and had returned about a week
before her death to stay this sum
mer.
Last Friday afternoon she be-
gan to show symptoms of mea-
sles, on Saturday she felt worse,
but not confined to her bed, and
on Sunday morning she walked
downstairs; but about nine o'clock
she showed very alarming symp-
toms of heart failure. Her ply
sican and friends were immedi-
ately sent for, but all saw that her
days were numbered. About
noon she asked to see her pastor,
Rev. Wolf. He being absent, DR..
West was called. She talked to
him very freely of her souls well
fare, and gave to him and all 9th
ers who had the privilege of hear
ing her, the evidence that the death
of a true Christian is only
step. Such simple, child-like
trust was marvellous Not one
word did she utter expressing a
doubt of what her future would
be; but like little, tired child,
she trusted her Saviour.
Every relative was spoken to, or
of, in a loving thoughtful way; and
calmly she selected her pail bear
ers. She did not forget her faith
full physician, and asked that the
money she had, might be paid to
him. She asked that her friends
might visit her grave once a
month, at least. When some one
said to her "You may get well"
she replied, "No, shall not
Not long ago, lay awake a whole
night thinking l might get mea-
sles; and then asked my Saviour
whether l would get well if l got
them, and he told me | would not. +"
She even expressed regret that
her death was so near the time of
the Kendall wedding, and request
ednot to be buried before Wednes-
day.
AS far as possible her wishes
have been respected, and her
body is placed in its last resting
place in Union cemetery this
Wednesday, forenoon.

Perla Nav Wilson.

The eldest daughter of Henry
and Willamine Wilson, of Clear
Ridge, died at the home of her
brother Charles, in Franklin coun-
ty, April 3, 1902, aged 16 years,
10 months, and 1S days.
She was cut off in the midst of
her youthful years, and when life
seemed most promising.
The 18th of March, her broth
er moved to Franklin county. She
accompanied them to their new
home and contracted a bad cold,
which developed into pneumonia.
All that loving friends and skilled
physicians could do, was of no
avail and would not stay the raw
ages of the disease. Toward the
end of her illness, when she knew
the end of her life was near, she
gave the blessed assurance that
it was well with her soul. She
said she loved the Saviour and
was ready to go. She had been
bright, healthy, intelligent girl,
was mild in disposition, kind in
manner, and endeared herself to
all with whom she came in con
tact. No death for a long time
has caused such general sadness
over the community in which she
vas reared.
She leaves to mourn her loss, a
father and mother, one brother,
Charles, one sister, Sadie, at home
and a host of other friends.
Her remains were taken from
her brothers to her home on
Clear Ridge last Thursday even
ing and We're inferred in Clear
Ridgece metery Friday afternoon.
She was borne t. her last resting
place by ten of her girl friends.
Rev. Dressler preached her fu-
neral sermon from Psalms 80 4.

the season took place at the Wash
ington House in this place on
Wednesday evening of last week
when DR.. John Wesley Mosser
aud Miss Elizabeth Woollet Fisher
were united in marriage.
Landlord and Mrs. Woollet had
thrown their capacious buildings
wide open, and at an early hour
in the evening one hundred and
sixty invited guests were present
to join in the celebration of the
joyous event.
At eight O'Clock the deep mel
low tones of the piano, at which
Miss Gertrude Sipes so graceful
ly presided were waited through
the halls, giving notice that the
hour had "arrove."
In exact time with the accents
of Lohengrin, the groom, with
Merrill w. Mace as best man, pass
ed through the hotel Office and
down the long dining hall until
they reached Rev. W. A. West d.
D., who was to utter the official an
nouncment that would make bride
and groom man and wife. The
bride, with Miss Mary Scott Sloan
as maid of honor, now followed,
and in most beautifully solemn
ceremony covering period of ex-
actly five minutes, the happy coup
lie we're receiving the hearty con-
gratulations of their friends.
The next hour and a half was
spent in serving refreshments,
which we,e e entirely in keeping
with the well known hospitality
Of the host and hostess.
The bride dressed in cream
lansdowne trimmed in applique
and liberty silk, looked very pret-
ty, and the groom never looked
more happy nor handsome.
Of the bridal gifts, we can only
say that as we took a survey of
them a day or two later as they
we're arranged in the parlor up
stairs, they made us feel we had
fallen into wholesale and retail
iewelry establishment.

Myers Kendall.

Among the most prominent so.
cial events of the season was that
which occurred at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. R. M. Kendall in
Ayr township on Tuesday. Not
withstandiug the unpropitious
weather which prevented about
three dozen of us old folks from
being present, about one hundred
and twenty persons assembled to
celebrate the marriage of Mr.. and
Mrs. Kendall's daughter, Miss
Mabel Winifred, to Mr.. j. Martin
Myers of the firm of Hege e.
Myers, Mercersburg's leading
merchants.
The spacious double parlors
were beautifully decorated, and
at 10 o'clock, with Mrs George w.
Reisner at the organ playing a
beautiful wedding march, Miss
Orpah, a younger sister of the
bride, entered with most becom-
ing dignity, proceeded to the
bridal arch, and united the satin
ribbon. Next came the best man
Mr.. Charles T. Burgner and the
maid of honor, Miss Nora A. Con-
rad, both Of Cham bersburg carry
ing a large bouquet of carnations;
following came the bride and
groom, the former gowned in
Paris mouseleine trimmed in chif-
fon aud satin applique, and carry
ing rich bouquet of Maresch
Neil roses. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. j. L. Grove,
assisted by Rev. S. b. Houston.
After the congratulations of their
friends an elaborate break fast,
was served.
The bridal presents were such
in value and quantity as will be
entirely satisfactory to the ac
complished young bride; and if
the weather meant anything in
connection with the wedding, it
was the clouds dropping a few
tears on the young Franklin coun-
ty fellow for coming over and TAX
ing one of our best girls.
The bride and groom will spend
the next ten days in the eastern
cities" where merchants usually
have business about this time in
the year.
