Obituary.

Little Johnnie, son of John A. and Sallie Butler. died July 6, death caused by poison from eating green jimpson burr, convulsions and death the result. How sad it is to give the little tender child up. But, wheu we remember what friend we have in Jesus, who has said, "Let the little children come unto me, for of such Is the kingdom of heaven." While little Johnnie had only budded on eurth, how grandly will he bloom in the sunshine of Gods love, where our Savior has gone to prepare the place.
 Weeping family, live godly lives ,and it will not be long until our dear Re- deemer will invite you to come mp and see little Johnnie in the GlorY-land.
