MISS SANFORD
TO TEACHERS
Queen of Hearts of Minnesota
School Mains Gives
Good Counsel.
Redwood County Teachers in
Council ImproveIITheir
Opportunities.

The Gazette has repeatedly called
attention to the high quality of the
teaching talent of Redwood county,
as shown by the annual reports.
The evidence Of such high grade tai
ent was apparent in the gathering of
teachers from all parts Of the county
last week. On account of the bad
roads in some parts of the county
not easy Of access by railroad facili-
ties. the attendance was not quite as
large as hoped for, being not much
over fifty. but the facts brought out
were worth coming for. judging
from the expressions heard since the
meeting.
The presence of Supt. Howard of
Olmstead county during the sessions
and the opportunity to hear that
charming veteran teacher, Prof.
Maria Stanford, were greatly appre-
ciated by all. Supt. Patchin of
Springfield made an effort to fill his
engagement here, but was prevent
ed by railroad wreck which inter-
fered with railroad connections at
Sleepy Eye.
On account of the illness of Miss
Sanford the past few months, her
ability to appear here was in doubt
in the minds Of some, but Miss San
ford was on hand, and while not as
strong as she was twenty years ago,
when she first appeared here, her
wonderfully sympathetic voice rang
just as true and friendly and helpful
as ever.
Friday evening Miss Sanford
talked to a large audience at the M.
E. church, preaching short SER
mon, as she was pleased to call it, on
the higher life. The sermon demon
strated that the speakers naturally
cheerful and optimistic spirit had not
not been warped or soured by her
recent illness, her emphasis on the
part that JOY and cheerfulness should
have in the higher life being among
the best points made by her in her
little sermon, which was followed by
readings from the poets of selections
| in harmony with her theme.

Sudden Death of Mrs. Charter.

The friends of Mrs. Levi Charter
of this city were startled last Sunday
by the announcement of her sudden
death that morning. 1t appears that
while she had been slightly ailing
for week or so, Mrs. Charter had
not felt badly enough to call a doc
tor until last Saturday evening,
when the family physician paid her
a call and finding nothing alarming
about her symptoms, left some simple
directions and departed. Sunday
morning, about 6 o'clock, Mrs.
Charter passed away with scarcely a
struggle, a victim of appoplexy.
Mrs. Charter was born Magdelia
Buery, in 1861, and was the sister of
Henry Buery, who lives near Morton,
at which place she was married to
Levi Charter in May Of 1892. Her
death leaves, besides her bereaved
husband, two motherless boys. the
oldest about Is, two married sisters
and two brothers, George and
Henry.
The funeral of Mrs. Charter will
be held at 2 o'clock today. from the
Christian church, Pastor Smith con-
