The many acquaintance and friends
Of Mrs. Edwin j. Mann feel grieved In
deed that she should have been called to
the life beyond while yet so young, and
while it seemed there might have been
so many useful happy years before her.
But our wisdom Is often far short OF
what is best, and Goods ways are not
our ways" For several years previous
to her marriage Mrs. Mann was often a
guest or resident in our village and was
liked and respected by all who knew
her. Deep and sincere sympathy is ex-
pressed by all for Mr.. Mann and the rela-
tives in their great sorrow.

may exchange experiences and the
spectators admire the little folks.
