But 'tis God that hath bereft us, He can all our sorrows heal.” On the ‘2kth, of Feb. lint, Ber tie Caudell, was placed on a lied of affliction from which she never arose. For three days she suffeied iutensly. But on March 3rd, the angel death, came with noiseless tread and carried away the one we had learned to love so well. “Just as the morning of her life was opening into day, Her young and lovely spirit passed From earth and grief away.” We cannot understand why she was taken away from us in the prime of her bright and useful young womanhood. In her death we lose one of onr brightest, best and most capable fvoung women, who was always jglad and ready to perform her part Of any kind of service. Our church has lost a devoted, loyal member the community a genial, helpful neighbor and friend. But we realize that it is in the home that she is missed most sadly, where the grandfather from day to day returns only to miss the dear face and listen for the welcome voice now hushed forever. Noth ing but the thought of the loving hand that has removed her can reconcile us to her absence. While she has gone from the scenes, the conflict, the sorrows Dev and to Giving the News, Encouraging the Progress, and Aiding the Prosperity of BanKs County. and pleasures of life. She will i still live in the hearts of those who knows her best. During the summer of lAO7 she j professed religion and was united, with the Babtist church at liar mony. She was a true Christian girl at home and abroad, and would al ways meet you with a smile which would win friends anywhere she would go. Now I can go to hfer home, where < I would often visit her, there I can see the vacant chair in the corner where she would usually sit. We spent many, many happy hours together and ’tis sad indeed to know that I shall never see her again in this world. But— “We shall meet again sweet Bertie In a brighter cliue than this, Where the anguish of this world of ours Is lost in deathless bliss-” “We cannot tell who next may fall Beneath thy chastening rod. One mast be first, but let us all prepare to meet our God.” A Cousin. Yes, Yes. Divorce suits are generally home spun.—Llpplncott'a. DENTAL NOTICE Dr. D. M.
