ARCH SPRING ITEMS.

  That seldom, if ever welcome reaper, death has come into our midst 
once more and taken a much loved flower from the home of J. D. Mentzer.  
After an illness of but one short day God called Miss Ora Mentzer to 
the home where He alone reigns and tenderly cares for the loved ones we 
prized so much while here.  While there is much sadness and sorrow 
connected with these partings, yet we know that God doeth all things 
well and that He is always near us in times of trouble.  This young 
lady, although sadly afflicted since she was quite a small child, was 
of such a bright and sunny disposition that she very much endeared 
herself to all those around her.  And it seems to the bereaved onces 
that one of their most precious flowers has been taken.  It is a 
comforting thought that she is not dead but sleepeth.
