But we then little thought that we would this week have to chronicle her death. But such are the uncertainties of life. • It is not the aged alone that are thus called upon to answer nature's call, but the young and hopeful as well. Miss Sleeth. was a bright, promising maiden of 17, just budd ng into womanhood. Before her last ilineaB she was always strong a,ncl healthy, and *as robust beyond the ordin- ary. She had been unwell for some weeks, but it was only within the past few days that her case was considered dangerous. Her cheerful disposition and amiable man- ners made her not only the light of the home, but endeared her to all who enjoyed her acquaintance. Her early demise is a severe bereavement to her parents and the rernaiuing sisters and brothers, and much sympathy is felt for the family. The re- mains were 190 to rest in the Maitlandbank cemetery on 1121±_day.. Cot -NOEL MRETING.—The fleet meeting of • the new couneil was held on Moeday fore- noon. All the members were present.

The Herald says: "The whole community, town and vicinity, is mourning the untimely death of Mrs, Frank Leach, of Oakland dis- trict, on Sunday, December 24, at the early age of 33. She succumbed to the pang,e of ntotherhood on Sunday at noon. That Morning she had made her three little boys happy with the gifts of Santa Claus, and served them with breakfast as usual, and when a little later, she sickened, her de - Voted husband tried in vain to communicate *ith the doctor in Tyner by means of Mr. G. H. Stearns' telephone, half a mile west in the sand -hills. But it is only a business wire, and no one was within reach. At 1 P. tn. she passed away. But she is not lost, only gone before. Yet our lose is serious, for where shall we find another so cheerful and so equally minded. so faithful to her duties, so content, so ready to lend a help. ing band, a listening ear. Her bouyant gaiety was a continual uplift to her rela- tives, neighbors and friends. The Presby- terian church of Tyner and the Poplar (rove Mission mourn thefirst break in their fraternal circle."

It - seems as though more time and en- ergy is spent during this month in selling white fabrics and garments made from white materials, than any other time during the whole year. The reason merchants have gotten this White Sale Idea, is because wernen have shown a decided preference for making their eelections of these gar- ments just as soon as they are opened up, marked and put on sale, Then again, goods sold off the web for home sewing, they are anxious to have made up and ready for use before the spring sets in, when there is alWaye sewing and work enough without giv- ing time -to that which vould have been avoided. ON SALE We have made special arrrangernents to have on sale during the month of -January an immense range of Ladle's made up white wear garments which we know will stand the test of the keenest inspection. They are made of the best materials and fashioned after the most approved styles by experts, so that there are many little details in our underwear ' that home eewers would scarcely have the patience to bother with. In fact home sewing could hardly be done better. We will mention in this advertisement some of the popular prices in the different lines at which we are giving extra good value, but invite women 'shop- pers to the store where they may learn in full, what their money will buy. We feel sure no one will be disappointed, not even dissatisfied.
