Bohemian.


Last Wednesday evening, Claud,
the bright little boy of Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. Reynolds, was buried at
their residence near Mt. Moriah the
burial spot having been selected by
the mother. He died of Diphtheria.
He was the only child and it seems
an exceedingly sad and affecting
dispensation of Providence that he
should so early be taken away from
fond hearts that were so complete
ly bound up in his bright young
life. But God knoweth what is
best for us and in His infinite wis
dom He doeth all things well.
''Lovely babe how briefthy stay;
Short and hasty was thy day;
Pillow'd on SavioI's breast
Sweetly sleep, and softly rest"
Rev. +. F. Pagan conducted the
burial services, which were very sol.
emn and affecting. All hearts were
melted to tenderness and all eyes
filed with tears.
About two weeks ago little Win
field Harwen was buried at Mt. Mo-
riah. He died of hopping cough.
There is large number of little
graves at Moriah and several of
them have been recently made. 1t
is said that there are about dozen
fresh little graves at the old Bap-
fist Church on Weakley. One by
one the Great Shepherd is taking
the little lambs home to the sweet
fields, the wide extended plains, the
everlasting hills-to the great flock
in the bright Beaulah of the soul.
lAlready scores of children have
gone from this community to Join
the ranks of the shining ROBBED i'm
mortals. Their fathers and moth
ers are left behind to weep and
sigh over their early graves. A lit
tie while they linger, little while
longer to be tossed on the tempes
tuous sea, ere they enter the peace
full haven and land upon the bliss
full shore amid the congregations Of
little ones who have gone before
Then their ''happy hearts shall
culver with the melody of peace
as they stand upon the banks o.
the beautiful river, or walk witt
rapturous steps through fields mex
, pressibly sweet with the fragrance
of never whitening flowers.
There we'll meet to part no more,
On fair Canaan's peaceful shore.
Here flowers fade, joys depart anC
comforts flee,
'sBut beyond this life of tears
There is a life above,
Unmeasured by the fight of years
And all that life is love-"
Mr.. John Mayfield, who had lon.
been a citizen of our community

erence to his death, but have under

. tired to rest, went to sleep, an
awoke no more.
