months. 1t was bright, interesting child,
aud had arrived at that age when children
seem most endeared TO loving hearts. The
Child was taken sick in Chicago as the
family were on their way from visit to

homecoming and the sorrowing parents
have the heartfelt sympathies of their
large circle of friends.

putting down new turf, making stun an
iron fence and gettin' monument sot.
There amt only one body buried in it vet,
but there's room for the hull family. Bet

Brights disease, an I'm getting pretty we'll

plot would not long be useless.
