We have learned that the reason for the Omis-
sion OF the Chaplain Chapel letter from the

been laid down forever, and her body is laid
with the great host who will wait the resGrec

ago and In spite Of the skill OF Or. Sudler Of
Bridgevile, she passed quietly to her last rest on
the Monday following, leaving a husband and
seven children ranging from twoto sixteen years
old. She was 81 years old and in the prime Of
her usefulness. Tie funeral was at Chapains
Chapel and interment at Bridgeville. We shall
miss her interesting communications to the
Chronicle, and we extend our sympathies TO the
bereayed family, and may the hand OF fate rest

Obituary..

In the death If Miss jamie Harris
of Prince Edward county, a real loss
was sustained.
The seemingly sad aud unfortunate
end came in Wise county where she
was engaged in teaching public school
i'm the Dorchester Graded School. Her
department was in the primary grade,
in which she ranked number one.
Miss Harris was growing up with
her work steadily aud beautifully
She vas anxious to live in order thai
she could do more for her Saviour.
Three sessions had been completed
and the fourth was well on the way
when typhoid fever attacked the hard
worked instructor.
Although she wanted to live she eX-
pressed herself a. being AS willing Ia
die. for she said to her sister, Miss Is
sic that she was going to Heaven and
died very happy.
Her influence, says the pastor who
attended the body to its resting place
was most happy in the community in
which she taught.
Miss Harris was also Sunday-school
teacher in the community IN which
she lived. Farewell till We meet IL
