Death ora Ynnnr nInn

Mr.. Robert Mckinney died at the
home Of his father, in this place, on
the DIST day Of December last, in the
23rd year Of his age.
Death casts dark shadow on home
aud heart, no matter on what age Of
life nor season Of the year it falls, but
1t is the darker and heavier when il
settles on the pathway Of the young
and at the Christmas time. Our young
friend was "in love with life.u and
though young had already secured en-
viable place in business aud social cir
cles. He had much to live for too, and
had he been spared would no doubt
have grown in public favor and been
agreat comfort to the home circle.
1t is the old story, death loves
shining mark" May those who
knew and loyed him best be enabled
to say: "The Lord gave, and the Lord
hath taken away. Blessed be the
name Of the Lord"
