fables rival those of the world famed
Esop, and he far outshines that ceie-
brated literary comet by his inimitable
illustrations He dresses up his birds.

1t is with deep sorrow that we have to
chronicle the death of little Willie, emily
son of f. j. and 0rpha Bent, which took
place at their home Tuesday, Oct. 9th,
at p. NJ. of a tumor, aged years, 5
months and 81 days. Some months ago
the father and mother discovered that
little Willie had trouble about him and
they Immediately commenced medical
treatment, took him to Burlington and
Boston. All that money and loving
hands could do was done, but after long
months of suffering and pain the dread
destroyer came and took little Willie to
dwell with the angels. The funeral was
attended at the home, Thursday at l
O'Clock p. NJ. The large gathering of
people and the many beautiful flowers
showed how much he was loved by all.
The parents and aged grandfather have
the heartfelt sympathy of the whole
community. Little Willie was buried
amid bed of flJNers, the casket being
lined with them, as was the grave. How
we shall miss him.
Resting so calmly amid the sweet flowers
Bear him out gently, this darling of ours,
Back To the gyer his spirit has fled
While we say mOurnfully. Willie is dead.
The rough pathway of life he never may tread,
The dark clouds of sorrow neer break DER his head.
Our Savior has spoken His word file has given,
of such innocent ones Is the kingdom OF heaven.
Mourn not the Father is speaking in love.
He has taken your treasure TO draw you above.
Weeping ones bow 10 the will of your God,
Hear his voice saying Pass under the rod.n

While partisan in politics, he is fair
and just, and the tone of his paper is
dignified, manly and outspoken.. The

In this connection it may be as well to
mention the fact that a committee from
