The Times editor has Just received
letter from favorIte cousin, Frank
A. Belt, of Cincinnati, Ohio, convey
ing the depressing intelligence of the
death of his dearly beloved mother,
Mrs. Jane Belt, on May 25th, last, at
her, home in Mt. Washington, a SUI
burb of Cincinnati. This most esti-
mable woman and dearly loved aunt
had reached the ripe age of 81 years,
and the fact that the son had spent
his entire life with her, looking after
her every want, is splendid benedic-
ton. 1t is indeed seldom that such
constancy is shown for the one who
should hold the paramount claim on
us in this life-mother.
The Times last week stated that

publication other arrangements have
been made. Presiding Elder Grove
has decided to make Sikeston his
home, and the parsonage at that
place is now undergoing extensive re-
pairs in preparation for occupancy
by his family But for the next cou-
pie of months they will continue in
their present home in this city. In
the meantime Presiding Elder Dug
gins will keep busy in familiarizing
himself with his new work in this dis
trict, while Mrs. Duggins and children

relatives and friends in different parts
of the State.
