was suffering from diabetis until they
arrived here and had DR.. Brockway
make a careful examination of her
case. Mrs. letters would have been
twenty-five years of age had she lived
until May % of this year. Hers was
a most lovable character and during
her brief sojourn in Florence she
made fast friends of all who had the
good fortune to become acquainted
with her, and the news Of her untime-
ly death will not occasion more sim
cere regret at her old home than it
did here. She bore up bravely until
the last and those who basked in
the sunshine of her checful counte-
nance little dreamed of the physical
and mental agony hidden beneath her
pleasant smile, or little dreamed that
she stood within the shadow Of death.
They knew only that there was some
thing irresitably attractive about
this delicate and girlish bride that
made life seem more CHEEKY in her
presence, and they feel that in her
death they have suffered a person Il
loss. Mr.. LETTERS will have the sym
pathy of this community in his great

here and it is up to the people OF

these chautauquas every year. If
they do they can show it by their
patronage, otherwise this will be the
