faint signs OF returning conscious
ness, and this Improvement con-
tinued through Wednesday, until
he came to recognize anyone who
came TO his bedside, and TO answer.
by nodding or shaking his head,
questions asked him; his tongue

is not thought that he can survive
much longer. He is an unusually
bright, friendly, sociable boy; there
was not another one of his size and
age in Columbia better known or
more universally liked. ALWAYS
polite, accommodating, bright and
happy, he carried sunshine i'm his
heart and on his face, and was an
inspiration To others to cheer up and
smile back at him. He was a little
christian AS well, thoughtful, dutI.
full, regular at the Sunday-school
