OUR STEM NEWS LETTER (Correspondence Public Ledger) Death of Mrs. Eliza H? Bullock On Tuesday, August 22, at 1:30 p. m., from the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. C.

In her early girlhood she gave her heart to God, whom she served with whole hearted devotion, being a consistent i member or tne Methodist cnurcn and a regular attendant as long as her y health wouldi permit. Hers was a singularly beautiful life. Meekness, gentleness, faithfulness, a charity that thinketh no evil, a self . denial that disregarded personal comfort, a depth of conviction that never waver ed these all blossomed in her girl hood and ripened in her womanhood. Such a spirit it was impossible not to love; and it goes without saying that f the number of her friends was limit- I ed only by the number of her ac- y quaintances.
