will open for it's annual two weeks ses-

Decatur County should attend this two
weeks session. The institute will assem-
BILE in the new high school building for

Monday morning. During tie first or
second week a literary program under
the supervision of Miss Homer will be
given by the Institute which we promise
to be very fine. Contestants from the
various towns of the county will take
part in an Evolutionary entertainment
and as there are many good speakers
among the teachers a splendid program
will be arranged. Any one desiring to
know more about this entertainment to
be given under the auspices of the in
stitute should correspond with Miss
Homer. The examination for teachers
certificates will be given at the close of
the institute. Teachers should arrange
their boarding places before arrival if
possible. There are number of excel
lent places where teachers can obtain
board and rooms and this matter should
be arranged before coming to Leon if it is
possible. We wish to state that all
teachers Of the Institute last year who
completed the four years course of study
may get their diplomas as they have
been engraved ands are now ready
for distribution. We hope all enroll the
first day and attend the two weeks. The
institute work will count for a part Of
the examination as it has always been
customary to give credit on examination
for attendance at institute.

MORTUARY.
Mrs. Ella 6. Potts.

"Blessed are the dead which die in
the Lord" The Mystic step has touch
ed yet another loved one. Under the
fairest skies, basking in life's sweet
songs, death suddenly claimed her while
young in years. July 24th 1903, Mrs.
Ella G. Potts died at her home near
Scott City, Scott county, Kan. She was
the only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. G.
Crider, of High Point, Ia, the JOY and
sunshine of her parents and only
brother. She remembered her creator
early in youth, accepting Jesus as her
never failing Savior and guide. In the
fall of 1894 she yielded her life to God
through Christ and his spirit and on
J October 18th was buried in baptism to
walk in newness of life uniting with the
Brethren church at Grown Chapel, re-
naming true and faithful, preparing in
life to meet the end of her journey here
and begin life eternal tower there"
Her young life was filled with gentle
ness, purity, kindness and love. Her
school days were joyous and happy and
in her amiable nature was naught but
warmth and affection for her school
mates and friends.
In the spring Of 1901, when earth was
putting on new beauty and freshness,
she was married to Eddie M. Potts.
After spending short time in Joplin,
Mo-. her husbands home, she moved to
Kansas, a loving and happy bride, full
of life and animation with the rich
hopes of a bright future opening to them.
To add JOY and brightness to their home
was given a little daughter, now nine
months old. The little one with her
papa, a loving and kind husband, her
father and mother, an only brother and
grandmother are left to mourn her loss,
with many other relatives and friends.
At the age of II years 8 months and
days she in peace passed away from our
midst. All are left, only the memory of
our virtues to remind us that death
would not chill her with all it's terrible
ness, but that Jesus would be there to
go with her Through the valley of the
shadow of death" to the happy home of
Him who redeemed her. May the God
of peace comfort they that mourn. "He
that doeth the will of God abideth for
ever.
