DEATEt oF D110 ,TER. --It was
with real genuine - sorrow, that the
many friends of Miss Maggie Drover,
heard of her death. DeceaSed had been
ill for two weeks and despite all that
medical skill and good nursing could
do she passed away on Sunday at the
home of her sister, Mrs. D. Brintnell,

young woman of quiet; unassunaiug
disposition, ever lending a helping
hand when it was needed; and during
her illness she bore her suffering with
patience and resignation till death re-
lieved hex of her pain. Our hearts
yield their homage to those virtues
and graces of quiet innocense, kind-
ness ofdisposition and modesty which
was hers. lier father, brothers and
sisters have the sympathy of the neigh-
borhood in their less, and although
they will miss her most, yet it is a loss
to the whole neighborhood., The fun-
eral took place our ToestlaY to Merag-

tended.
