There is sadness in the home of Mr. and
Mrs. ]. S. Farmer. Norma, their young
est daughter and the idol OF their hearts
has been taken hence after a short illness
of spinal meningitis, during which she
suffered terribly. An affectionate darling,
with her pretty winning ways to know
her was to love her; her bright smile cap
tivated all so that all gloom was dispelled
in her presence. We sympathize most
deeply with the heart stricken parents
and other relatives in this grievous
affection that has befaIlen them. Funeral
services were held at her late home last
Sunday, conducted by Rev. A. E. Atwater.

throat in the winter months" said a
doctor. "Mnffiers, scurts and such things

preventive of sore throat ever devised"
