DEAD.

Mrs. w. J.. Williamson, of Catletts
burg, KY, died on the night of the
18th of April at her nome in that
city. She had been for a long time
patient sufferer and remained I'M
til the last a most faithful Christian
and learned, she was always inter-
esting and of sweet disposition
Everyone was her friend who knew
her and she was always ready to
lend a sympathetic ear to those in
distress. Well raed in the leading
thoughts of the day, she had adj
vanced thoughts on all those intri-
cate problems that are hidden in the
unknown future and kept a stead
fast confidence in her religious be-
liefs. She was a most excellent lady
and her death will be regretted by
all. Peace be with her in the here
after Let us hope that she is in a
brighter and a happier sphere,
everlasting. We extend our sym
pathies to the husband, whom the
departed wife has left to battle on
with the shifting scenes of this life.
He did everything he could to re-
lieve the Affections Of his wife and
remained with her during her long
Illness There was nothing that
could be done for her but what was
done, but providence had willed that
she should inhabit another sphere,
and the efforts of human ingenuity
availed but little. To all the be-
reaved We extend our coincidence,
and mingle our deep regrets with
their sorrow at the death of a very
good woman

tive TO the park situation there He

by the city might in the future secure
the tract bounded by Poplar, Walnut.
