The following account of the death
and burial of Mr.. and Mrs. Colvin's
baby is taken from the Columbus Daily
Advocate which we received in yester.
days mail:
"Died-In this city, Thursday
morning, June Is, 1895, at the home of
G. D. Shepard, 41s South Penn. Ave-,
Leone Audrey, infant daughter of
Leonard and Bertha Colyin, aged l
year, months and 10 days.
The funeral will be held at the resi-
dence of G. D. Shepard, Friday after
noon, June 26th, at 2:30 O'Clock, the
services being of the Episcopal church
and conducted by Rev. w. H. Hills.
The remains will be laid to rest in the
city cemetery.
Little Leone was the only child of
the fond parents and the loss to them
is irreparable. To them we can but
say, go to our Father in heaven for
consolation in these the saddest hours
OF their life. Their baby was sick only
few days, and her spirit has waited
to that home prepared for all who will
accept it, beyond this earth, where she
will wait the coming of papa and
mamma.
To the bereaved parents, who are
residents not of this city, but of Medi-
cine Lodge, and to the relatives, the
Advocate extends heartfelt sympathy

The old story of Prometheus is a par
able. Prometheus was on terms of IN
timacy with the gods. From them he
stole fire and gave it to men. For this
sin he was bound to the rocks of Mount
Caucasus, and vultures were set upon
him. They only ate his liver. This
grew again as fast as it was pecked
away. Are his sufferings to be imag-
ined? Take modern Interpretation
of the parable. There is no cooking
without fire. In cooking and eating
the mischief lies. The stomach is oY-
ertasked, the bowels become clogged,
they cannot dispose of the food that is
given them. The impurities back VI
on the liver. Then come the vultures
the torments of a diseased liver. DR..

y family by the name Of Merrill had
the misfortune to lose their 4-year-old
girl in Valley township last Friday
night, while on their way from the
strip to Stafford county. The little girl
was taken with an attack of mountain
fever while the family were on the road
on Tuesday, and when it was seen that
the patient was in critical condition
they stopped at the home of AL Blake,
one mile south of Isabel. Medical as
sistance was procured but to no avail
and the little girl passed away on Fri
day night. Lester White came to town
on Saturday and got a coffin and the
child was buried on Sunday. Mr.. Mer-
rill is a man in very poor circumstances
and was on his way to Stafford county
in search of work. The citizens Of Val
ley township aided him as much as was
in their power but nothing could be
done to overcome the little girls fever.
Sickness, death and distress among our
fellowmen always excltes sympathy,
but when it affects those who are with
out means and by force of necessity in
strange country 1t is doubly sad. If
there eyer was an instance where char
ity should manifest itself it is in case
of this kind, and we are glad to note
that the people Of Valley came to the
aid of this distressed family so cheer
fully.

G.. NJ. Martin consumed some more
of the Cresset's valuable (?) space last
week to prove that he and T. A. Nc
Neal owe the INDEX some money.
We would not notice this matter any
farther but since he does not quote
Messrs. Hudson and DeGeer, as we'll as
ourselves, correctly it is necessary that
we come back at him. Mr.. HudsOn's
words taken verbatim are these: ut
was never paid while l was In charge
of the Office, by arrangement or other
WISE" Mr.. DeGeer says: 81 never at
any time assumed anv debt of Martin
u McNeal either to the INDEX or any
person nor debt of either of them, at
least L have no recollection of such a
transaction. WOULD CERTAINLY RE-
MEMBER II IF HAD HAD SUCH A
TRANSACTION" We have these letters
in our possession and 6. NJ Martin or
any other man who doubts the correct
ness of the above quotations is invited
to call and read them. OF course we
know how CALLING it is that G.. NJ. is
suddenly wound up IN his own net but
the directions say take it," He is
floored and all his long articles and
abusive street talk will not help him to
his feet. If he can get any satisfaction
out of those mot very desirable, we ad-
mit) titles, he is welcome to it. We
made statement to the effect that the
Martin & McNeal account remains un-
paid, and proved the statement truth
full one-that is, if the books of the
company and the statements of De.
Geer and Hudson are as good as G.. NJ.
Martins word. Those who are &C.
quainted with all of the parties in ques.
ton can judge for themselves. In the
meantime we remember that Mr.. Mar
tin claims that the settlement was
made by Martin & McNe cal yet McNeal
knows nothing of such q transaction
and neither Martin nor McNeal car
produce receipt. Again we ask, who
has made the personal and unground-
ed attacks?"

County Superintendent Shell became
somewhat confused as to normal dates
and the result is that he will necessari-
ly be compelled to do considerable ex-
ira writing and talking. The normal
circulars say that the normal will open
on July ID and close on August q,
whereas they should have said normal
opens on July Is and closes on August
20. But when his attention was first
called to the matter he made a wrong
correction and he is now correcting the
correction. He has the dates straight
now, however, and there is ample time
to have the dates fixed right in the
mind of every normalite. Remember
that the normal opens on July Ii and
closes on August 20.
