A Tribute to Mrs. Martha M. Barber.

Mir. Editor: Allow me space in the columns of your paper to say just a few words about the late Hattie M. Barber who passed beyond the veil at Backus hospital last Monday. She was one of natures noblewomen. no better ever having lived on this earth.
 There are few persons who came in contact with the dear woman who have better reasons to know her at heart than myself. although l am only one of hundreds who were acquainted with her and knew of her many quiet. good deeds. Her entire life appeared to be for others. During my five years of illness she was a constant visitor driving several miles to bring me some little loving token. flowers or other mark of kindness, and no matter what kind of weather she never neglected these little loving acts. All through the towns of Plainfeld Canterbury and Griswold can be found poor, needy and sick. who feel just as I do about the kind one who has gone to join her loved ones and rest from worldly cares.
 No costly shaft of marble may mark her resting place, no pomp and gor geous gatherings around her bier, but monuments immortal she builded while
