Obituary..

On the 21st of September the
angel of death visited the home
of W. G.. Raines and bore away
his precious babe, Annie B., aged
one year and five days.
She was sick several weeks
with fever, and it seemed so hard
to give her up, being at such an
interesting age, she was the pet Of
grandmother, ''papa,' and
"auntie. - She was like a bright
ray of sunshine in their grief
stricken home. But "no cross is
greater than His grace, and God,
in His infinite wisdom knows best
for his own.
Being deprived of mothers
love and care when only six weeks
old, she was tenderly cared for by
those around her. 1t seemed she
was left to comfort papa few
short months, then went to join
her sainted mother in the realms
above, where she and mother are
Cooking this way papa for you.''
And to grandmother, who nurs
ed her so faithfully, we would say,
grieve not, nor wish her back
