it to Paris. How this was known cannot
tell-from the jewellers, perhaps. We had
got from them designs for the cutting,

wished to wear it to dance. The Prince
agreed. Always tried to persuade him

greater shame, he said, than when the

death pointed directly to a young French

To The Memory of
Mrs. Vineyard

Resolutions on the death OF Mrs.
Vineyard have been sent to The
Times for publication. They follow:
1t is with sorrow and sadness
that we the teachers and the student
body of Porter Academy have learn
ed of the sad bereavement OF Miss
Morton, one of our teachers, in the
death of her sister Mr., Vineyard.
Mrs. Vineyard spent few weeks
in our community last summer, at
the springs. During her stay here,
g 70 made many friends. Although
an invalid, we always found her
cheerful and pleasant. Her death
will be mourned by all who knew
her. But to her friends and loved
ones we would say while it is a sad
hour to US all. why should We grieve?
She has only gone over the river
and is now resting in God. Her
cares are over and her joys have
just begun. And since it has
pleased God in His infinite wisdom
to remove her from this world Of
sorrow to one of eternal sunshine
and love, be it resolved:
First-That while our hearts have
been mada sad by her death, we
bow in humble submission to the
will of Him who doeth all things
we'll.
Second, That we extend to our
beloved teacher, the family and
relatives our deepest sympathy in
this sad hour.
Third, That. a copy of these
resolutions be sent to Miss Morton,
also copy be sent to the press for
publication
