 Sunday School was very good but the older people have not thought much about the worth of a good Sunday School in the neighborhood. It behooves every one of us to live and let us live in the bounds of a good Sunday School. There is difference in a boy or girl that has been reared in a good Sunday School and one that has been reared where there are just a few months of Sunday School out of the year.

Mrs. Nichols

Mrs. William NICHOLS passed away at her home near Ozark, Tuesday evening, April 10th. at about six o'clock, after an ill., ness of several months from complications.
 It had been known for some time that her condition was ex- tremely critical. About month ago she seemed to rally and her family and friends hoped that she would be able to go about her home again. But she suf- fered a relapse and since has gradually failed. Her going was not surprise to the watch CTS at her bedside.
 Through all her suffering Mrs. Nichols was patient and cheer ful, giving directions to the members of the family about af- fairs that she had always been accustomed to looking after. Even until the last her mind was always clear. She asked her physician to give her some thing to make her rest better, after this had been done, she quietly went to sleep to awake in eternity.
 Mrs. Nichols, nee Katy Bond. was 6S years of age. She was born Tn Alabama and came, with her parents, to Arkansas at an early age. She was married to Wm. Nichols. February 28, 1867. To them were born a large fami. ly. seven of whom grew to ma- turity. The four remaining are Misses Florence Nichols, Argus, and F. P. of Ozark, and Wade the youngest son, living at the home place near here. She also leaves six brothers, who are Jes- SC Bond of Arizona, Tom and Isaac of California, James of Texas, Bent at Charleston, Ark, and Davis of Mountain Top, Ark. Bent and Davis were present at her funeral, and at her request acted as pallbearers, with her three sons and Jerome Wilson, who bore the renal ms to the family burying ground not far from the residence. The funer- al service was conducted at the home by Rev. E. M. Roach, a life time friend of the family. He was assisted by Rev. M. G. lobe of the Nazarene church.
 Mrs. Nichols was a member of the Presbyterian church and lived a beautiful, gracio us life in service for her family and friends, and the unmeasurable good she has done by her con- stant self sacrifice and devotion to her family and friends can never be told. She was her children's ideal and all who knew her loved and respected her.

 Arkansas is the only state or city in the Union which has not presented a silver service to the ship named in her honor.
 WHY A SILVER SERVICE
 A silver service Is an emblem of peace. 1t represents the good will and good deeds of the donor and the worthiness of the recipient. It Is the cementing of national and state ties-a union of land and sea.
 It is made of pure silver and its decorations are emblematic of the history. the art. and the commerce of the state. A silver service then becomes travelling monument to a state instead of a stationary one, 1t carries into foreign ports the artistic creationsof the spirit of the state. It is a gift in which all may unite, and is the most beautiful, the most useful, and the most

years escaped their vigilance. But
Sophie Bardina's health had suffered,
and she was the prey Of pernieious

lifes strength but that beautiful en-

life gives its chosen ones.
Suffering has the effect on some
characters Of stunting them, and there
were springs Of affection and devotion
in Sophie Bardina's heart which would
only have needed little happiness to
expand. I believe that after all she
was so indifferent to most things, be-
cause Russia had remained her hearts
