Edward, the little son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Pennington, of Ensley, died on Saturday
from the effects of a painful accident which
occurred about ten days ago. While play
ing the little fellow fell on a stick, which
pierced his eye, completely putting 1t out.
At first the physicians entertained every
hope of saving his life, but being only 3
years old, he could not withstand the
shock The funeral took place yesterday
at Ensley. Mr.. and Mrs. Pennington have
the sympathy of the whole community in
their hour of bereavement.

hold a bazaar at the city hall on Wednes-
day and Thursday of this week, with an
artistic display of fancy work and useful
things innumerable, delightful lunches
served at all hours, and an entertaining
programme to be rendered on both even
dngs. The ladies have every reason to be-
lieve their efforts will be successful, both
from the financial and social standpoint.
