 Willie Mason, the little son of Mahlon West, aged 6 years aad months, was drowned last Saturday. The little fellow was out at play with his dog, and. his not returning at the noon hour gave his pa- rents very little uneasiness as he was a bright little fellow, neighborhood fa- vorite and was quite likely to have been staying with some of his many friends. Later, inquiries began to be made as to his whereabouts, but it was some time before clew was got by some one having noticed his dog waiting alone near the reservoir. About 10 o'clock his body was found. The place where he was found was where the Tuckerville stream enters the reservoir and near the Wales road. He had evidently been playing or the ice where the water was not deep broken through and got drawn under the ice His funeral was attended on Monday by relatives and many friends in deeE sympathy with the sorrowing parents. Dr. Newton, as county medical examiner, was called to take note of the particulars of the accident, but of course no official examination was deemed to be necessary.
 A correspondent further informs us The funeral was solemnized in the M. E, church on Tuesday afternoon. A large number of relatives were present and the village schools came in body The male scholars brought each sprig of ever. green and placed them on the casket as they passed to take the last look at the face of their departed schoolmate. The floral tribute was uncommonly large and fine. The choir of the church sang beau tiful and appropriate selections. The pastor, Rev. H. D. Adams, spoke iron Matthew 19: 14-"Of Such is the King com of Heaven" Very seldom is con gregation so deeply moved by sorrow ant sympathy as was this one.
