the Graded Schoois--Local Mention.


Westminster, May PA sad death
was that of Margaret McIver Harrell,
the little daughter of Rev. and Mrs. j. j.
Harrell, who died on Tuesday morning,
May 16, of diphtheria, after a short i'll
ness. In our letter last week we men
toned her sickness, but before the lines
were published her life was transferred
from the tabernacle of clay; her sweet
spirit had gone to be with Jesus in the
heavenly home and her body was resting
beneath the daisies in the beautiful town
cemetery. Funeral services were con-
Quoted in the Presbyterian parsonage at
O'Clock Wednesday morning by Rev.
M. r. Kirkpatrick, of Seneca, assisted by
Rev. j. r. Moore. Little Margaret was
born October 30, 1900. She was a sweet,
fiower-like girl and the fragrance of her
beautiful young life will always be re-
membered by her fond parents, sisters
and playmates. The warmest sympathy
of many friends is extended to Rev. Har-
rell and family in this sad dspensation
of Providence.
Rev. j. l. Spinks preached an eloquent
sermon to the women on last Sunday
evening, basing his remarks on Esther
4:14: "And who knoweth whether thou
art come to the kingdom for such time
as thisp" Bro. Spinks is brief and to
the point. He preached just twenty
minutes to the fair sex.

their crops and destroy the thick growth
of grass around the cotton.
