On the 9th of last May she was mar ried, and those who saw her in robust heilth just stepping out into real life little thought that before the an niversary ol her happy marriage, she would ba taken from the joys and pleasures of earth. She was a modest, quiet and most excel! nt young woman of manv charm ing and commendable traits of character. While she had no church connection she had expressed her intention to join tbe Baptist church, of which her bus band is a member. A good and true and tender life has thus passed out.

"Let the grand jury go right down and present these men who carry con cealed weapons and let the courts pun ish them."
