ly, 1t is surprising to me that there
is such paucity of Irish daily news
papers on file on the reading room of
your wonderful Congressional Libra
ry," remarked Timothy j. Burke of
Limerick, Ireland, who is visiting
Washington.
While there appears to be a lib
eral supply of weeklies of foreign pub
locations, there is only one Irish daily
paper on file, and that from Dublin.
l found no difficulty in securing cop
les of daily newspapers from the
principal cities of England and Scot
land, and there are plenty there from
France and Germany, and most of the
Canadian dailies are to be found on
the racks, but when it comes to Ire
land, only Dublin is represented.
1T would seem to me that the peo-
pie of Irish birth or parentage should
have influence enough with the au-
thorities of the Library to secure a
better selection of the great Irish
daily newspapers. Then, too, it must
be remembered that you have a very
large visiting population of gentlemen
from old Ireland who would appreci.
ate it highly if the papers from their
home cities were accessible. I SUP.
pose that the reason for the lack of
Irish dailies is the fact that those
who ought to be most deeply interest.
ed seldom visit the Library, or else
secure from home the papers they are
most interested in"

and Mrs. J. X. P: Agnew, and was
"a years old. Funeral services
were conducted by Rev. N. w.

one to another Tuesday that "Lola
is gone" She was of an Affection
ate disposition, bright and winning
in her manners, SO that friendships
circle to her was large one. In
deed, it may be said of her that
"none knew her but to love her."
1t seems like only a short time
has elapsed since she was married
to Hardy O'Guinn. Now she has
gone to join little bud in Heaven
and leaves him with one little bud
here. Seemingly with us today,
active in life's routine of duty and
love, but gone tomorrow. Coming
here from Sugar Tree, she soon
developed into beautiful woman
hood; here she was helping to es-
tablish home of her own; here
her busy life was spent, her brief
battle fought, her faithful service
rendered the world. While the
silence of death wraps and chills
us at this moment, memories, dear
and plenteous, come crowding in.
"Gone, but not forgotten" would
be an appropriate superscription
on her tomb.
Mrs. O'Guinn is gone. She has
gone the way that you and I must
go. She has stood the test that
you and l. must stand. Let us be
as we'll prepared in all things as
was she, for the good she did lives
after her. Our struggle here may
be longer, yet for whatever timeit
be let us follow the Master.

MRS.W. C. LAURENC E.

Mrs. Laurence, beloved wife of
W. G.. Laurence, died Thursday
night of last week at their home
on Main Street, north. She had
been lin. feeble ~ health for some
time, due to dropsy, and her death,
though much regretted, occasioned
no surprise. Interment took place
Friday afternoon in the cemetery
at Cowells Chapel.
While greatly beloved in Cam
den, where she has resided for a
number of years, Mrs. Laurence
was held in love and tender recol-
lection in the country where she
grew to womanhood and passed
the greater part of her life. She
was member of the M. E. Church,
South, and was what we term an
every day Christian, strong in. the
faith and devoted to her church.
The identifying influences of a
pure religion was spread over a
life and character as spotless and
charming as was ever possessed by
any of the noble women who have
lived and died in the past ages.
AS such life was a blessing and
benefaction to all within the
sphere of it's influence so is the
death of such a one public mis-
fortune, as well as an irreparable
loss to the church and the home
circle now made desolate by her
transportation to another world.
1t is difficult to pay a fitting
tribute to 90 noblera woman-one
whose every day life was embel-
lished by the most charming and
lovable attributes of her sex. A
perfect lady at all time-under all
circumstances-she seemed born
to inspire the love and respect Of
all who were so fortunate as to be
acquainted with her.
No one was more willing to aid
the suffering, cheer the despond-
ing, sustain the weak and throw
over the frailties of our race the
mantle of Christian charity, and
