She happened to be in an outside toilet when a severe electric storm came up, and a ten-penny nail in the roof directly over her head proved a conductor of the elec tric fluid that caused instant death. When found, her dust cap had been destroyed, her hair singed, a shoe torn from one of her feet, and traces of the burn were seen on her breast.

Services in the Little Cove in the morning at 10:30 o'clock. In the evening at 7:13 a3 pre viously announced, The' Mission Pageant entitled, "The King's Highway," will be rendered in the Reformed church by the Mis sionary Society. This service is not to conflict with the Union Lawn Service at the Court House. We were compelled to have this Missionary t Service this month, before our young people, who wish to take part in the ser vice, will leave for school. We made the hour for the Missionary service ' late on account of the Union Lawn Service. I therefore take the liberty to announce that the Union Lawn Service will be held next Sunday evening on the Court House Lawn. May I suggest that we get together a little earlier say, 6:43. That will give us our usual time for the Lawn Service. In this way we can all spend a de lightful time in prayer and praise and to the preaching of God's word, and thus prepare ourselves to see how The King of Kings entered the heathen lands. Rev. J.
