gifts, Myrtle Albert Brown. aged 4
years, 8 mos. and 81 days; only daugh-
ter of Vim. ID. and Martha B. Brown.
How true that death loves a shining
mark; for poor little Myrtle was the
pride of her cottage home. The fun
eral was preached by Rev. VIM. Jesse,
assisted by Revs. Silvers and John s,
Jesse. A large concourse of sympa-
thizing friends aud relatives followed
the little white coffin to the last rest
ing place in the cemetery.
Farewell, little Myrtle, they have lair
you TO rest.
The pain, is all over-the slumber sc
blest.
Be silent, you sad ones, would Vol
wake her to weep?
Twas the angels that softly sang hel
to sleep.
Farewell, little Myrtle, you bring
heaven 30 near.
At the foot of the cross we bow hum
bly, here.
We thank God for the short life H,
kindly lent,
Tho our hopes are shattered and ou
| heart strings rent.

dress my friends and the good peo-
pie, whom I have not seen since
the war, some then I did not see
on account of their absence, be-
ing in the woods, and I will en-
deavor to be in your city this fall
sometime" The gentlemen from
| Mexico who heard his speech this
morning were delighted, and say
he was listened to by an immense
and enthusiastic audience, Mexico
