A siX-yearS-old daughter of Emerson
Edwards of West Wheelock was drowned

day night. She was living at her grand
fathers at Greensboro Four Corners at
the time and attended school near by.
That evening the girls father was at her
grandfather's, and when he went home
she wanted to go little way with him,
and went some forty or fifty rods up the
road and then returned to her grand
fathers, her father supposed. Not re-
turning to her grandfather's, they thought
she had gone home, so she was not mis-
sed until about nine O'Clock the next
morning, when the other children went
to school. She had apparently left the
road near the bank to pick some cherries
and fell off the bank into the river. 1t is
feared her mother will become insane on
account of her eath.-RepubEtcan.
