There was a great fatality among the chickens, a great many died. When Bro. Colvin, the clerk, gets the proceedings published they will furnish some good reading. The Walton ladies know how to entertain the angels of the synod. There was a report that there had been poor crops iu Ilaryey County this year, but there was abundance in Walton.

There was Christian unity for once, and everybody was of one mind at the tables. TO BUSINESS MEN. A limited amount of space is given in this paper to such of our business men a9 desire to advertise.

Susan L. Kirkpatrick was born Jan. 25th 1813, at Brownsburg, Rockbridge Virginia; the daughter of George and Ellen Guil-inger. From early childhcod she gave good evidence of Christian character, and at the age of fourteen joined the Seceder church, now the United Presby-teran. In her seventeenth year the family removed to Adams Ohio, and the next year she was married to Mitchell Kirkpatrick.

She and her husband lived in Adams county twenty years, or untill 1851, when they removed to McLean county, 111. Four years later her husband died. Ten children were born to them, all but the youngest before they left Ohio. Six of them are living, one Illinois, four in Kansas, and the youngest in Colorado. In September of 1885 she went to Highland Lake, Weld Colorado, to reside with her daughter, Mrs Frank P.

Woodley, who, except for a few months after her marriage, from her birth to her mothers death was her -constant companion. Sabbath morning, tbe 7th of this mouth, she regretfully yielded to the conviction that she was not well enough to go to church, and immediately passed into an apoplectic, or comatose condition, and although at times at least showing consciousness and the recognition of her friends, she was not able to speak again, Thursday morning at nine oclock she passed into an undisturbed sound sleep from which she never waked till at 8 oclock in the afternoon her quiet breathing ceased, and she passed into the blessedness of endless youth and activity in the recognized presence of the Lord she loyed. The funeral services were held the next afternoon. Two of her sons were with her when Bhe died, and in the care of one of them her body was conveyed to White Oak, McLean Illinois, to be laid beside the ashes ot her husband, buried there thirty-three years ago. At the time of her death Mrs.

Kirkpatrick was a member of tbe United Pres byterian church at Arkansas City, Kan. She was a devout woman, loved the wor ship of the Lords house; was an earnest listener to preaching, and delighted in the knowledge of Christian truth. When a child she was frail and delicate, was never strong, and much of her life suffered from ill health, but was habitually active and energetic. She lived much in her children by whom she was held in reverence and warm affection. She was social in her disposition.

She had an intimate friend at Highland Lake who was as a sister to her, and who has comfort in the sorrow of parting, in the expectation of meeting her again. A. K. Packard. AMITY COLLEGE College Springs, Page Iowa.

Med to got late missionary of our church supply fr us to push the work here VANCE On the 12th of October Mr. and Mrs. Win. Vance were called to part with their only child, little Reita, four years of age. A brief funeral service was held at the home of James Vance, at Tecumseh, where the child died, on Sabbath morning at 9 oclock, and a more extended service at the church at 11 oclock.

The pastor preached from Psalm W. J. Neely led the choir, composed of Mrs Majors, Miss Lou Crawford, Miss Mattie Patterson and Ed. Kauffman. The flower decorations were very beautiful.

The loss of the little one is a sore trial to the parents and friends. She was a bright child, pure as a lily, the pet of two homes, beloved of every one.
