for several years, but no one thought
his end was so near 1t is sad, indeed
to have to give up our old kinsmen
and friends, but such is the natural
consequence of this life. Mead leaves
to mourn his departure four daugh-
ters, Rebecca, Eta, Mennie and Vir-
gle, and has preceding him a wire,

in their own hands to better their
conditions, and to throw of OF tneir
necks the yoke of oppression and WORK
for and to the betterment OF each otn-
or in cooperative way. .,
