from the encroachments of Old age.
Mrs. Meyer was a sweet christian
character quiet and unassumlng;
she was a devoted member of the
M. E. church and it was always her
pleasure to attend the services. BY
her lovable and gentle spirit she was
loved by every one. The funeral
services were conducted on Thurs
day morning by Rev. J. H. Thack-
er at the home, after which the body
was laid to rest at Mt. of Olives

audience which the DR.. cheerfully
answered. In the afternoon excel
lent talks were given by DR.. }. A.

of the past week was of Wednesday
afternoon when Mrs. J. L. Walker
entertained for Miss Pet LaGrone,
whose marriage is happy event OF
May 9. The color scheme was violet
and the hostess welcomed her guests
in violet summer costume and
everywhere were violets, the lights
being in this shade. The score cards
for rook were painted in violets and

the sound of the wedding march
and little fairy all in violet, little
Helen Walker, came in and pausing
before the honoree presented her
