Mary E., the wife of Dr. W. L. Cameron, of Palmyra, Nebraska and daughter of Dr. and Mrs. A. C. Baldock, died at 9:15 a.m. on the 22nd inst., after a patient illness of more than a year. She leaves one son "Voyle," and a devoted husband who deeply mourn her death.

"The Four Have Gone" A telegram I held and read, Its contents made me sigh; Thinking of the slumbering dead, The thought that "all must die." God sent sisters, I had four; Now I have not one, But sometime, on that golden shore, We'll meet with God's own son. God called them to their home, Just beyond the sky, Forever with the saints to roam, No more on earth to die.

The words, "Marie died at 9:15." Ring in my very soul, Though when here I'd plainly seen, The traces of death's goal. Thus was her end a calm release; The body now goes ' neath the sod, Her spirit stands with joy and peace, Before a smiling God.
