We had a very sad death a few
days ago.
The death angel visited the
home of Mr., Henry Calhoun and
claimed for it's victim the below
ed wife and mother.
She had been ill but a few days
with paralysis. She had a stroke
in her right side about two years
ago and had a stroke in her left
side Wednesday and did not
speak or notice anything.
She was GA years, 8 months
and 10 days old when the end
came.
Was married to Henry Cal
houn in 1873 or 1879 and to this
union were born nine children
seven of whom are living and
two dead.
Aunt Jennie was good christ
ian woman and loved by all who
knew her. All that loving hands
could do was done but to no
avail, for God knew best and
called her to live with him in
Heaven,
The funeral services were held
at Providence conducted by
Bro. Breeding and Bro. Sullivan,
after which the remains were
laid to rest in the Providence
cemetery, to await the resur-
rection.
She professed faith in Christ

The New York Times says that
the allies should call upon Russia
"to define her intentions. A
better plan would be to call up
on Russia to put into effect some
of her declarations Of policy.
Again and again has Russia stat
ed that she had no intention of
making a separate peace with
Germany. This being true,
Russia should not delay an at
tack on the German line. Per-
haps nothing great could be &C.
complished, but such an attack
would at least serve to prevent
the diverting more troops from
the Russian to the French and
