Miss G eorgia C harters , the Lit­ tle Whistler, i. n twelve-year-old prodigy, who is regarded by all who have heard her, as a musical wonder. The perfect ease and gnice with which she whistles the moatcomplicated airs; the exactuese with which she renders the moat difficult compositionsis truly marvelous. Her power o f imitation, her warbling and thrilling are unp&r- alled: £rom infancy the child has defrayed this peculiar talent. It was not an unusual thing for her to charm ' the wild birds by imitation o f their own sweet notes. .Recently hiding behind a door o f her home, she wooed two red birds from the top-most branches o f a high tree that stood in the yard. Down came the little whistlers, allured by the siren until they stood upon the very threshold Each public appearance o f the Little Whistller has been a succession o f tri­ umphs.' At a reunion o f ex-prison' ere o f war held, in Xenia laBt summer impromptu entertainment was an hastily arranged that those honored veterans might enjoy hearing the Lit­ tle Whistler. The vast audience went wild with delight. One, an ex-con­ gressman from Washington City, dc dared he had heard Mrs. L, Shaw and other celebrated whistlers, but never one whose notes were so pure, dear and graceful us little Georgia’s.

H erald : Francis Mijdred, only daughter o f Rev." and Mrs. J. P. Bishop, died December. 12 th, at their home in Ber- nicia, California, agedabout 10mouths o f some disease o f the brain. Mrs. Bishop was visiting friends in Ohio last fall and everyone that seen Mil­ dred loved her for her gentleness and sweet disposition. The affliction is made more ead from the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Bishop only recently re­ moved to Bernicia and were entirely among strangers, but a letter Dram them gives the comforting assuranes that they know in whom they trust. Mr. Bishop is known by almost erery one in this community, m he wm born and raised in this (Cedarvilie) town­ ship, and he will have the sympathy o f hismany friendshereandelsewhere. Mrs. Bishop wm formerly firotn Clark county, and their friends and relatives in both counties are verymany and no doubt many prayers will go up for them in this their first sad afflic­ tion. * LATH, MOULDINGS, FLOORING, SIDING, £TC, Have just received a new sotek.
