McCune family, who now ive at Green Forest, will be in-erested in the following obituarv notice, which was published in a recent issue of a Green Forest pa per: Eloise McCune was bom in Edwards County, Kansas, December 10, 1903, where she resided with her parents until June, 1912, when they hey moved to Louisiana. Then, af ter a residence there of two years. hey returned to Kansas, living there until when they came Green Forest, Ark. After an ill ness of typhoid fever through a term of seven weeks, she died, at the age of 14 years, 11 months, and 21 days. "During all her suffering she nev er complained of her lot, but was always asking about her sister, who was sick in the same room.

She bore her suffering bravely for fear she might cause more suffering to ler loved ones. "Eloise confessed faith in Christ in her twelfth year, spending the remainder of her life in the service of her Lord. Truly Heaven is invested with the angelic form of this good girl. "She leaves to mourn her loss: Fa-her, mother, four brothers, two sis-ers, namely. Earl, Maurice, Rachel, Etta, Willard, and Dee; also four, grandparents, a number of aunts.

uncles and cousins, and a host of friends." Methodist Church Services Next Sunday all services will be resumed. The time for Sunday-school is 9.45. There is no bar to the attendance of children. It is reported that there are no cases of influenza in town and there is no cause for fear. People who are ail ing will of course not come, so there can be little or no danger.

Preach ing will be at 11 o'clock. In the evening, Epworth League will be at 6.30 and preaching at 7.30. Let us come together with courage and faith and in the spirit of worship. In the morning there will be a Christmas sermon. W.

He wrote home not long ago from the hospital that he had been wounded but was improving nicely. This was the last his family heard from him until the sad news Thursday.

It What is usually referred to as Christmas shopping has not yet been attended to in this part of Kansas, owing to conditions over whfch neither the merchants nor their would-be customers have any control. The weather has made a new record in the fast two weeks, one. never before equalled in Kansas.

First it rained until the ground was soft and the roads almost impassable, although quite a few braved the mud Saturday. Then Sunday night it began to snow about 10 o'clock and continued al the next The wind made one think of blizzards, but the old-timers knew it to be just a mild imitation; still it was pnmiffh to nile drifts six feet little Monday night about a foot fcf snow had fallen, and the roads were impassable. The temperature worked. jiown slowly until Tuesday morning, "when it was a little below zero. )( Tuesday morning every man in town who had a shovel was trying to lend it to someone to shovel snow, and a good part of the day was consumed in opening crossings and clearing sidewalks.

The weath er is again moderating, and if the neighbors will get out and break the roads travel will be resumed and shopping for New Year's will take the place of that which was intended for Christmas and the kiddies and merchants may yet be happy. The railroad tie-up was pretty complete Monday. Tuesday a few trains came through hours late, on Wednesday it was a little better, and it looks now as if traffic would re sume its customary schedules tomor row. There is one point on which all agree, that it has been the worst storm experienced in many years. So far it is good for the wheat, but pretty tough on the stock, for feed is scarce, and there can be no wheat pastured for a number of days, even under most favorable conditions.

All main traveled roads can be op ened very quickly if the township hoards will just turn, out with their rpad-graders. This is a dandy time to make a test of the grader transformed into a snow-plow. Death of Robert E. Doming Robert Doming died Friday at the home of his son, John, in this city. Interment was in the cemetery at Garfield, where his wife was buried.

Mr. Doming had been in failing health for some time, and his passing was not unexpected. He was a quiet, kindly, and courteous man. and his friendly greeting will be missed by many old friends. Robert E.

Doming was born in Lancashire, England, March 29, 1841, and at the time of his passing he was aged 77 years, 8 months, and 20 days. He came to this country with his parents when three years old. At the age of 21 he was married to Barbara Allen Swartz, at Racine Wis. To this union were born four teen children, of whom five are still living two in Washington, one in Oregon, one in Colorado, and his son John, of this city, with whom he had made his home for the past ninp years, since the death of his wife. Congregational Church Notice Sunday, the 29th, all services will be held as of old.

born August 14. 1891, died on December 19, after a short illness. Just about week before, Mary received with a glad heart the last sacraments, and for a while it seemed as if she would stay awhile amongst us.y. But our1 good Lord, so anxious for pure souls, call ed her away to be his Christmas bride in heaven, to be among those elected souls that sing a song in hea ven following the Lamb of God, that no one else can sing. The funeral services took place at St.

Mary's Church, Rev. J. E. Hack- enbroich officiating, whilst a few members of the St. Peter's choir, with their able master, Mr.

Sellmey-er, sang the beautiful Requiem High Mass. The ceremonies so sad and yet so consoling in themselves were the more impressive as only a few good friends were able to attend on account of the influenza. Not one of the mourning family was able to attend. The greater was our sympathy for the bereaved mother, Mrs. John Gleason, and the brothers, Dan and John," and sisters, Alice, Annie, Dorothy, and Helen.

St. Mary's parish and her pastor will miss Mary very much her good example, her frequent communions, her cheerful conversation. May the Divine Child console the3 sorely tried family, soon restore them all to perfect health, and reconcile them to a holy will I that inflicted on them so great a loss. Rest in peace. A Friend.
