We are greatly saddened to an
nounce this afternoon that Mrs. D. D.
Conway who has been i'll for long
time, is very low today. Her con-
dition is such that those nearest and
dearest to her are fearful that the
end is not far away. D. D. Conway
and family and those who have been
ministering her every want and wish
have the sympathy of the community
in this hour of trial. 1t appears that
this lovely christian woman must
succumb to the disease that has been
sapping her life away for several
months past. We all know ivee ct
months past. We all bow in sorrow
for that which we cannot help and
must endure.

It is surprising how completely 4
snow storm and blizzard such as we
have had lately can paralize business.
