Her grand children whom she loved
30 we'll, Katherine (Mrs. DR.. FennelD
and Emmett Dent were far from the
old home, one in Virginia. and the other
in the navy serving his country.
Mrs. Mcleod had many beautiful and
lovely traits of character, tho quiet and
unobstrusive, she numbered her friends
by her acquaintances. She was true in
every relation of life, as daughter, sis
ter, wife, mother, friend and neighbor,
loved her church. and always opened her
doors to the preachers of all denomina-
tions, altho' she was an ardent adherent
of the Presbyterian faith, having joined
that order in early life at Center Point
Her place is vacant in the home, church
and community, tho Gone she is not
forgotten" for her memory is en-
shrined in our hearts like some precious
gem,
Bright and shining is the ensample
she left us; and when we lay Immor-
teles on the mound that covers her sa-
cred dust, in the Odd Fellows Cemetery
at Macon, Miss, where she sleeps
I among her sainted dead, our hearts will
throb with tender recolections of hel

SAM LLOYD'S PUZZLE
Nine Minutes to Digest This.
No. 400.

Take part Of a carriage, add a
piece OF pastry, add a piece OF Jewel
ry, subtract a dock, and the result
ing letters will spell WHEELING.
Answer to No. 1s9.
Let US call the distance that the
army marched during the time that
Bill was making his way to the
head, X. Thus you see that the army
moxed X and Bill moved 20 plus X
Then Buffalo Bill returning must
have gone back that distance X,
while the army moved forward thir-
ty miles minus x. Thus we have the
statement in proportion 30 plus X
is to x as X !, 70 10 minus X This
proves the value OF X squared to
be $50 and X equsling Fl plus. Now
il is plain that Bill moved thirty
mile, and twice that distance X, a
total Of 722-s plus miles, which is
the answer to the problem.
