Death of Grace Heath.

The many friends and acquaintan-
ces of Miss Grace A. Heath were
grieved to learn of her death from
tuberculosis of the throat, at her
home on Willoughby street Tuesday
evening, Feb. 27, at ten o'clock.
Grace Araminda Heath was born in
Holland, June 27, 1896, to Leslie W..
Heath and Mary Hall Heath. Since
coming to Orleans in 1910 she had
endeared herself to all who knew her.
She was a graduate of Orleans high
school and johnson normal school and
spent the year following her gradua-
ton from normal school in teaching
in the towns of Charleston and West
more During the summer of 1916
she started work in Bigelow's phar-
macy in Newport, but on account of
ill health was obliged to return to her
home where she was cared for by her
parents.
She is survived by her parents,
brother, Rodney, of Waterville, Me-,
and a sister Gertrude. The funeral
services, conducted by Rev. R. A.
were held from her former
home. Interment was in the family
lot at Derby Center by the side of her
brother, who was taken away by the
same disease few years ago.

the new and the old. At the evening
service there will be the second Of
the short sermons on things funda-
mental in Christian doctrine. Sub
ject, "Jesus, who is called Christ"

speak for the league at the morning

a sane, forceful speaker, and his COM

ty to know of the leagues work.

MarigOld Quartette.

The Marigold Quartette was a
great success and was pronounced by
all to be the best entertainment of
it's kind that has been given here.
The numbers they gave we're little
different from the usual thing and
were doubly appreciated on that ac-
count. "Lochinvar's Ride" and the
sketch, cat the Matinee" seemed to
be the favorites although. the finale,
"Uncle SAM made great hit We
shall hope to have this same quartette
with us again next year.
