Obituary.

On February End. at Kennewick,
Washington, sister Ernest Tull died
after brief illness of pneumonia.
She was a native of Accomac county,
Virginia, and she and family moved
to Kennewlck a few years since to
engage in the mercantile business.
While in this county Sister Tull was
a regular attendant at the old Chin
colleague Baptist Church, and she
was a consistent member of that
church at the time of her death, never
having moved her membership from
that place.
During the last illness of Sister Tull
! devoted husband and kind friends
! did all that loving hearts could sug-
gest for her relief-the best medical
skill and trained nurses were called
| in, but human power could not arrest
the disease, for the Lord had sent his
messenger to call his child home.
Sister Tull had a presentment of her
death and when she was first taken
sick she told her friends that she was
going to die. She gave directions
concerning her children, how she was
| to be shrouded, the hymns to be sung
and also the nature of the services.
She talked about these things calmly
and undisturbed only as a Christian
can. She leaves three little girls,
the oldest about nine and the young
est about one year old. She also
leaves husband and host of friends
to mourn their loss. Sister Tull was
woman of inestimable Christian
character. She loved her church and
did what she could to advance the
Lords cause-her treasure was in
heaven and when the summons of
death came with sublime faith and
trust in God she entered upon her
heavenly reward.
Sister Tull not only had host of
friends here, but had also made many
friends in her new home, for at the
hour set for the funeral services the
places of business in the town in
which she lived were closed and a
large concourse of people followed
the remains to their last resting place,
all of which attests the high regard
in which he deceased was held.
Many hearts are made sad by this
separation, but remember dear friends,
that "what is your loss is her gain"

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great change a
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change. ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
Tiage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of it's freshness and the form of it's
fairness.
