In Memory of Mrs. Barbara
Shoup.

Dear Grandma Shoup" has
left us, and we are sorrowful.
She had been with us so long
that some way we hoped to keep
her for some time to come.
We know that our Heavenly
Father doeth all things well, and
bow in submission to His will.
Her sons, her daughters in law
and grandchildren will miss her
most; still we who were her
friends and co-workers, feel that
there is no one to fill her place.
Her life was exemplary, and to
be in her company was always an
inspiration to better aud nobler
living,
Her pleasant face and gentle
voice drew each one to her, and
everyone who knew her loved her
much,
She was a charter member of
the Woman's Missionary Society,
and in former years our meetings
in her home were among the hap
piest and most helpful.
Her prayers offered in such
humbleness, made each one feel
that she indeed talked with the
Lord.
Her kind deeds and helpful
words will never be forgotten,
and to us she is not dead, only
gone before.
Ever near us though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits treao /;
And all the boundless universe
is life,
There are no dead"

Gov. Major has won great

Gently enacted by the Legislature.
He worked long aud hard for this

congratulate him.
We regard this law as one of

1t can be made of great benefit to
the people; will be a great boost

will fall to the ground and

capabilities. Each should give
