It is with deep sadness that we Announce the death of Mrs. Wiley Sheorn which occurred in Monroe, N. 0., last Tuesday nigh!. Mrs. Sheorn yvaa a moat estima ble, christian ladv. Her life was gentle, hut like the stiit waters it was deep. In her heart of hearts she carried those she love and her hand was never weary, her steps never failed In ministering unto aud car iug for those who were in any way dependent upon her. She was a faithful member of the Baptist Church. She was not only faithful to her Church, but just as faithful in believing that it wan her duty ftp a christian to do the will of her Master at all times. She was al ways ready to lend a helping hand in time of need?both In acts of kindness a'ld in words. None but those who have sat in the shadow of a great bereavement eau justly weigh such a sorrow as has befallen her loved ones. The husband with a devotion few men are capable of, whose strength was given sweetly, tenderly to the suf foring'luvalid ?/ife, could not de tain her by the clasp of earthly love; but after the last word had been spoken, the last sign of re cognition w'as gone, a look of p?ace settled upon her face and ho knew tnat she was resting ou a mighty arm. Much has been taken from the .husband, children and a large cjtxu\c 6f relatives and friends; sweet tjfes have been broken but iri''ch Is left. The christian's hope and fadeless memories are theirs. The funeral services were held yesterday morning from her late residence on Mill street. The Burning: of tho Ancrum House. Last Monday night about mid night an alatm of lire was sent in from box 23.

The tire originated in the] kitchen, which was annexed (J the main building. We understand that there was some insurance upr ou the building but not near enough to replace it.
