A frightful accident befell the four
year old boy of James Warner, who
lives north of town, on last Sabbath.
In some inconceivable way the child fell
into boiler containing hot water and
was scalded. A physician was sum-
moned and an effort made to relieve the
sufferer but Monday night it died. The
funeral was held Wednesday, Rev. De-
Puy conducting the services. The com
munity sympathizes with the bereaved
parents in this affection.
The beautiful little flower, the four
year-Old daughter, Laura Lale, of VIM.
Lux and wife, was quietly taken from
earthly suffering and pain on Sabbath
morning last, June IL, at the tender age
of four years and six days. Short in
deed was her illness and in few days
the little life had gone out which had
frightened the home and made bright
spots in all the hearts around. The
fathers and mothers whose little ones
gather around them, will sympathize
and their hearts will go out to the home
which now mourns.
The last event of the Commencement
week was banquet in the diningroom

table and merrier crowd never ban
quoted. After the course OF good things
had been served toasts were given and
the rest of the evening was spent in
pleasure. AS it was nearing midnight
when the party sat down to the feast, it
was of necessity much later when the
Commencement day was ended. Those
