 The funeral of Maybell Elsie Elizabeth
 Jones, infant daughter of Rev and Mrs
 H. W. Jones, was held at the Baptist
 parsonage, last Saturday morning at 10
 o'clock, Rev pr Nicholson of Bridgeport
 assisted by Rev Dr Merwin, conducting
 the services. The burial was at Wood-
 lawn cemetery, New York, Saturday af-
 ternoon. Little Mabel first sawthe light
 of day on beautiful Sunday afternoon
 in the month of April, 1894, and conse-
 quentlv was in the 18th month of her
 age. Ever since her birth she was a
 sickiy child, at times filling her parents
 hearts with hope of full recovery which
 would make her strong and healthy
 child, and then the hope would give way
 to di encouragement as the improvement failed to be permanent. So on Wednes-
 day afternoon the worn and tired little
 body breathed out it's spifit, which went
 to that Savior who said ''Suffer little children to come uuto me for of such is
 the Kingdom of God."'T ,EE} y ISAAC sHERMAN's HOUSE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. VHFTHU The house of Isaac Sherman was struck
