 The death on Tuesday, the 4th inst, at her home in Maplewood, N. J., of Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster is calling forth expressions of sorrow and appreciation from the many journals to which she has long con- tributed, and all bear testimony that in her beautiful life and in literature she represented whatsoever things are true, and just, and lovely, and of good report. Personally, another dear friend has departed by the Path way of Peace. ".

The convention was a success. in every way, but not re. sponded to by the nearby people as it should have been, as an opportunity for improvement and for taking note of the worlds progress, but that is the mistake made by nearly every community. It was day to be long remembered the beautiful village, the pretty church, neat, tasteful and roomy, that told it's own tale of the devotion of Gods people, the pleasant welcome, the sweet music and the meeting with so many bright, cordial women, and the presence of the school children in the afternoon that was an inspiration, showing the possibili- ties of work for the children up and growing. Mrs. Holman presided with her usual quiet charm. Mrs. Pratt as secretary received her merited need of appreciation. Mrs. Fuller's lively paper was much enjoyed, and, in passing, we are glad to call attention to the White Ribbon Banner that she so ably edits, with the wish that it could go into every household in the state, and it's teachings for right liv- ing and temperance in all things be followed. That the convention is to meet in Stafford next year is some- thing to look forward to, and we trust Miss Jones, Miss Washburn, Mrs. AL den and all the other workers may re- ceive so many endorsements in the way of new members that they may still keep the county banner. We wish the young ladies would feel that there is very necessary and import ant work for them in the w. O. T. U.
