DEATHS -- FUNERALS.
----------
          Miss Frances Kinsley,  aged 24 years, daughter of  George Kinsley, just north of town, died this morning at 7 o'clock.  Miss Kinsley has been an invalid for more than four years from a complication of diseases, but had so far recovered that she was able to ride out, until about five days ago when she became seriously ill and grew worse until her death this morning.  Frances Kinsley was a young girl who was a great favorite among a very large circle of friends and will be sadly missed from among them.  She was a gentle, refined and lovable girl and above all possessed those Christian qualities which make for that life to which this is only a preparation.  She joined the First M. E. church in childhood and in all ways was faithful to its precepts and never departed from its teachings.  Through a long and painful sickness she was a patient sufferer and proved to those about her and those who waited on her that oft times the most beautiful characters are developed and the most faithful lives are lived in the strictest privacy of one's home.  Rev. George Smith of the First M. E. church will preach the funeral sermon , the time and arrangements of the funeral to be made later.  Edwards & Hageman have charge.
