The many friends here of Mr.. and

shocked on last Thursday when the
news of the death of their little daugh-

Dendy lived a number of years here, and
made many friends who sympathize
with them deeply in this sad affliction.
The remains were brought here for inter
ment, and scores of sympathetic sorrow
ing friends accompanied them to the
grave. The affliction seems doubly
4rievous inasmuch as it is the third
death in this little family. Lillian had
passed her ninth year, and, being natu-
rally bright and Intelligent, the subject
of lavish and pains taking training from
proud parents, she had just reached
the age when she showed most promise.
and when her parents were most ambi.
tious for her. What a void in the happy
little family, and how deeply their
numerous friends here depiore this sad
dispensation.

his injuries are of no very serious nature.
