A Young and Beautiful Life Ended.

All Famyille was shocked aud lis
heart deeply moved upon when on
Monday last n telegram was received
announcing the death Of Miss Flora
G.. Thompson, daughter Of Rev :. IL.
Thompson, Of Bluefield, W. Va,
which sad event occurred at the home
Of her father In that city after "a brief
illness Of typhoid fever, in the 25rd
year Of her age.
Having called this her home, where
she had spent many years Of girlhood' b
happy life, and where she had been
trained for LIES work, her remains
were brought here for burial attended
by a number Of her friends and the
friends Of her family.
The funeral took place at the Bap-
tist Church at Z. NJ, Tuesday, and
was conducted by the pastor Rev.
Mr.. Fugatc, who was assisted by the
Rev. Mr. Clark, pastor Of the Presby-
terrain Church, at Bluefield, and the
Rev Mr.. Shipman, Of Rice, who paid
loving tribute 10 her memory, while
Dr. Jarman spoke Of her school life ia
touching and tenderest manner.
From these tributes there was re-
yealed To us "A character rich IN mental
and soul endowments, a young girl
Of whom it may be SAID, "Only in the
love we have for Others than our
selves can we truly live or die. O."
Such was the force of her Christian
Influence Oh her companions at school
that she had been chosen to devote
her whole time 10 such work for the
coming session, and to which she
looked forward with quickened heart
beat and "a soul all aglow with c0nse-
Grated enthusiasm. And do we stop
just here to ask why such a life should
he thus ended, such a flower blight

be to attempt to gild refined gold, to

ulous excess. Neither will ! hold up
my farlhing rushlight To the blaze Of

"You can do much for the cause Of

adopt you can resolutely and
thoroughly bear your testimony in It's
