Obituary.

Faith Estelle Bascome. youngest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. e. y. Bas-
come. passed to rest, Sunday morning,
at 1915, after long and painful illness
of nearly three years.
She was child of exceptional
and very lovable DISPOSE
tion. In her short life of eight years,
she endeared herself to all who knew
her, by her sweet and patient DISPOSE
zion and thoughtful care of others. At
the time of the death of her brother
Arthur. three years ago, little Fay eX-
pressed Il desire to go and be with Kim.
She was then i'll. but loving hearts and
clinging hands detained her, and for
some months she again seemed to he
her own sweet self.
But now she has gone, and the sadly
family comfort themselves
with the thought that their two choice
treasures. Arthur and Fay, will clasp
hands and together view the wonders
OF the Eternal City.

NV Dear General: l had the Rich

of my carriages last summer 1t was
used daily for two months without re-
moving the wheels for reoiling re-
gard it as invaluable, and l would not
own or purchase a carriage that did
not have this axle. If it had no other
value except to prevent the grease
from working out, (and that is impos-

many times what it costs.
