daughter of Hon. J. ]. Shaw, and
was one ofthose sweet characters for
whose early death the whole COM
muuity will sincerely mourn, and
well of the deepest sympathy will
spring up for the bereaved father,
who dotes upon his children, and to
whom the cutting off Of this, his
Youngest flower and beloved pet,
will be a sore and sad atfliction.
She was taken down about a week
ago with malarial fever and all that
loving hearts could dictate and the
skill of medical science suggest, was
done for her, out TO no purpose; the
grim reaper had claimed her and
her youthful spirit went out to meet
those of her beloved mother and
sister, who had preceded her some
wears before to that better land.
Mabel was born at the home in
which she died aud was greatly en-
deared to all her companions and
acquuintances, possessing a charm
ing disposition and a wealth of beau
ty, intelligence and accomplishment.
Her father, brother and two sisters
are prostrated with the most pro-
found grief, in which a chord Of
sympathy binds all neighbors and
friends with them.
The funeral will take place to-
morrow afternoon at , O'Clock,
from the Baptist church, a"d the
remains will be Inferred in the
Odd Fellows Rural cemetery, beside
her mother aud sister.
