Tribute Of Respect.

In the death of our Sister, Alice Dunn
Mcneil, whose spirit passed from earth
to Heaven, June Is, 1905, the Christian
church mourns the loss Of a gentle and
tender member. Our hearts are filled
with deepest sympathy for the bereaved
and sorrowing family in whose circle
her sweet face is seen no more. Sorrow
not, dear friends, seven as others who
have no hope, but watch for resurree-
tion morn. She is not dead but will
rise again when the God comes in a
Heavenly cloud and shouts OF angels and
the trumpet's sound is heard. There
is no death to those who sleep in Christ.

Lodging Apartments,

Mr.. J. D. Attesey has awarded to s,

is only question of very short time
until some more fine buildings will be
erected on that street.
