COLE.—Died of typhoid fever, at the home of her parents at Denver, Col., August 16, 1889, Mabel Elizabeth Cole, aged 13 years, youngest daughter of John and Angeline Cole. The funeral services were largely attended. G. W. ANGLEBARGER.

SMITH.—Died at Tacoma, W. T., August 1, 1889, of membranous croup, Arthur, the eldest son of Forest and Lizzie Smith, aged 7 years, 8 months, and 12 days. We laid him away, believing that he sleeps in Jesus, soon to come forth in the resurrection morn. Services were held by Rev. McMillen (Methodist), in the absence of any of our ministers. F. H. AND L. SMITH.

ACKERMAN.—Died in Santa Barbara, Cal., August 2, 1889, Chester, youngest son of Louis and Sister Belle Ackerman, aged 7 years, 1 month, and 22 days. Little Chester was bitten by a rattlesnake at his home, sixteen miles in the country, at eleven o'clock, and was immediately brought to the city where medical aid was summoned and everything that human sympathy and loving hands could do, was done, but without avail, and the little sufferer passed away at seven o'clock. The bereaved family have the blessed assurance that little Chester will come again from the land of the enemy; and this we trust will help to sustain them in this their hour of deep trial and affliction. Words of comfort were spoken by Brother Charles Hicks, from 1 Cor. 15. T. M. FRY.
