The funeral of Mr.. Cash Sunday was
lar 5ey attended, the church being
crowded; and two car loads going to the
cemetery. The floral decorations were
lovely; we believe, the handiwork of Mrs
G. W. Bradley. Rev. Mr., Georges sermon
was short, impressive, and appropriate; the
ceremonies at the grave were fitting to so
