Last week was n sad one for Mr.. and
Mrs. X. W. Colyer, in that it saw their
eldest child, little Florldc, taken
from them by the dread dyphthcria. In
the first part Of the week the disease
made it's appearance, without warning,
and from then on till Saturday the lit
tie one steadily declined in spite Of NIL
that love and skill could do. DR.. B. A.
Henry was called into consultation,

was seen that she was dying the pas
tor of the Baptist church, Rev. j. A.
Brown, who lives Mt Due West, was
telegraphcd, and arrived Saturday af-
ternOOn. The child died that night at
10 o'clock and the funeral services
were held at the Baptist church at 8
o'clock and afterwards at the grave in
the Presbyterian graveyard. 1t is
feared that the little sister, Annie
Laurie, is taking the disease, but ev-
erything possible is being dono to pre-
vent it. Antitoxin is being injected,
and the chances are about even for re-
covery and for death Mt present writ
ing, according to the best information
obtainablc. Every precaution is being
taken to prevent the spread of the
disease, and 1t is hoped that it can be
confined to these two cases. Several
have their families out of town until
the danger is past. 1t seems trte and
stale to say that the bereaved parents
have the warmest sympathy Of every
one, certainly and especially of every
father and mother in the community,
but it's very tritness is but high COM
pliment to humanity, dctracting moth
ing from high beauty of tho sentiment.
