DIED.—As we go to press the sad intelligence is received of the death in St. Paul this morning of Miss Ida Hicks. The remains will arrive here to-morrow morning and the funeral will take place from the family residence to-morrow afternoon at two o’clock.
Miss Hicks was so well known in Alexandria, and so universally esteemed and loved by all her acquaintances and friends, that the news of her death has cast a gloom over almost our entire community, and the afflicted family have the heartfelt sympathy of hundreds who mourn with them over the departure from this life of the daughter and sister just taken from them.

OBITUARY
The funeral of Miss Ida Hicks took place at the residence of her mother Mrs. Theresa T. Hicks, Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock. A large company of friends were present at the services who deeply mourn the loss of one who was greatly loved by all who knew her. The service was conducted by Rev. Q. L. Dowd, whose closing remarks were a tribute to the beautiful life of her, who though so young had spent her years in loving services and even in her last hours was devoted to self-forgetting thoughts for others. She was perfectly calm and composed in view of death, which for her had no terrors because she trusted in Jesus her Saviour. It was a fitting scene to close a life whose memory is al “sweetness and light.” The most touching and interesting incident of this sore affliction was the last prayer she offered in which after commending her spirit to the Lord Jesus and affectionately remembering each of the family by name and little Theresa last of all, her strength failed so that she could mention no more friends by name, but her dying request was a blessing for “my darling everybody.” Her last word was of the baby, Theresa, ad what could be more lovely, “for of such are the kingdom of Heaven.”
“The eye that shuts in a dying hours,
Will open the next to bliss.
The welcome will sound in the heavenly world
Ere the farewell is hushed in this.
We pass from the clasp of mourning friends,
To the arms of the loved and the lost;
And those smiling faces will greet us there,
Which on earth we have valued most.”
