SAD DEATH OF A LITTLE Chiffon
last Friday evening, Annie, a sweet and
interesting daughter of John B. Evans,
Esq, near Mint Spring, breathed her last.
just week previous to her death she re-
ceived bruise upon her ankle bone whilst
engaged in play. Her parents considered
the injury slight at first, but after the
lapse of some hours the pain, resulting
therefrom, grew violent, producing deli
rum, when physician was at once
summoned. But all that medical skill
could suggest, or that anxious, loving
hands could do, failed to give her anything
but momentary relief, and after the brief
period Of week OF intense suffering and
anguish her little soul was waited over
that dark and narrow sea which divides
yon heavenly land from ours.'' Nine sum-
mers, with all their fragrance and sun
shine, had scarcely illumined the horizon
of her life before her playthings were laid
aside, and a gentle voice full OF laughter
and merriment among her playmates was
silenced forever. Rev. G. II. d. Collins
conducted the8funeral services, delivering
a very appropriate and impressive sermon,
after which the remains were conveyed to
Calvary Chapel graveyard for interment.
The sorely bereayed family have the en-
tire sympathies of the community in
which they live. w.
