The controversy between Cedar* ville and Jamestown as to the bas­ ket hall championship ha# drawn Xema into the scrap. The Gasette says that the Xenia h*am can play rings around either of the contest­ ing teams and that the question can be settled by tile county seat organization taking the honors. **» heedset* Dr. Miles' ami-PsIft Pttl» could bar with-: oat rwklhdng that irh* was oharaa- terizsd by sa-perfbr excellence, A deep seriousfies* prevailed all she did. The charm of her presence in the home is a sweet memory, s,nd all who have visited there bear tes­ timony to the grace of her demean­ or, as well as to her ability and tact in the affairs of the household. Great was the confidence which the younger members of the family reposed in their wise and affection­ ate sister, In matters relating to the kingdom of Christ she took a deep and abiding interest, tiie. result, undoubtedly bjt living close to Jesus. Her’# was a cpn- spicuous illustration of a life made beautiful by personal intimacywith the MaBter, and she impressed yon a# one whose light and love came fromconstant associationwith Him, Rhe lived a life of true Godliness, but she never obtruded or paraded it; in the mostnatnral and unaffect­ ed manner it radiated. And this personal piety was attractive, for Alina Brniiey had a host of friends. Though her death was sudden, it did not find h«r unprepared, for the reason that she was continually making preparation for it, and the natural sorrow of the bereaved is tempered by the assurance that she lias gone to her real home. Anna Smiley was horn m Eden, Randolph county, Illinois, and re­ ceived her early education in tho pabllc schools of Hparta, graduating from the High School with tho class of 1867. Later she entered Cedarvilie College, and pursued her studies there for three years and was a distinguished student and he* loved by all.% !
