In Memoriom.

Died, at Koran, La, Feb. 1,
1902, in the 18th year of his ace
Willie V. Childs, eldest son of Mr.
c. w. Y. Childs.
Again the angel of death has
cast the dark shadow of his wings
over our little community, and
choosing from the band of happy.
Joyous youth, has borne the gen.
tie spirit of little Willie to his
home beyond the skies.
Only a week he fingered. but
his suffering was intense. Having
already a delicate constitution.
pneumonia in its most malignant
type soon developed, and, though
two skilled physicians, a loving
father and many devoted friends
watched by his bedside, against
it human skill could not prevail.
Though left motherless at an
early age, he did not lack the
noble qualities which a mothers
love can best instil. Possessing
an unusually bright mind, he was
easily first in his classes. Gentle,
kind, truthful and obedient, he
was favorite with teacher and
schoolmates and all who knew
him, and we sigh to see the vacant
place. Neither was his religious
training wanting, for he never
forgot before lying down to sleep
to entrust himself to the care and
keeping of the dear Father, who
made and loveth all.
Bereaved father, we know its
hard to lose the noble son who
would have been the protector
through life of the little sister,
and the support of your declining
years; but God knows best.
CTS better to have loved and lost,
Than never to have loved at ALL"
He was a son of whom you may
justly be proud, and like a rare
flower, though faded long ago, its
fragrance still remains.
Death is only a dream, and from
its awakening we shall meet the
loved ones gone before, where all
is love and joy and peace, and
sorrow never enters there.

In Nemoriam of J. W. Prince,

Passed away, January 80, 1902,
aged 63. years.
1t is with inexpressible regret,
and with the deepest sympathy,
that we chronicle the death of this
most honorable gentleman. A
good man has been taken from us,
but there is naught left for US to
mourn except his absence. His
LIES labors were we'll done. He
is lost to country, home and
friends, after a life we'll spent
with every duty performed, his
noble soul has found rest amid
the scopes of its creation, in the
presence of its God. He leaves
a wife and nine loving children to
mourn his lamented demise.
May the thought, he is at rest
in the brighter land, where sum
shine of happiness ever continues
to glow, afford consolation to the
bereayed ones, and serve as a
beacon light to guide them where
parting is no more.
Gone, but not forgotten.
Thou art gone, as the stars in morning
light expire;
Gone like the rapture of passing song;
Gone from circle who thy gifts have
cherished;
With genial fondness and devoted care,
Whose dearest hopes with this have
sadly perished;
And now can find solace but in prayer
Prayer to be like thee in so meekly bear
ing,
Both joy and sorrow from his Makers
hand,
Prayer to put on the white robes thou
art wearing,
And join thy anthems in better land.
The remains of deceased were
buried at Fillmore cemetery, Sum
day, Feb 2, at II o'clock, in the
presence Of a large number of
sorrowing friends. The services
we're conducted by Rev. Howell,
who delivered an eloquent and
feeling sermon.

Died

On February IA, 1902, near Red
Land, at the age of IS years, Mrs.
Elizabeth Andrews.
In the death of this estimable
lady we realize what the loss of a
christian is to a community. She
united with the Baptist church at
the tender age of 10 years, and
lived a consistent member thereof
until her death; and itcan we'll be
said that hers was a beautiful life,
ever ready to administer with ten
der care to the sick or distressed,
and bearing with humble submis-
sion all the trouble and trials of
life.
How sweet to know her sleep in death
Leaves no painful thought to bear,
That whispering angels soothed her
breast,
And led her home with loving care.

away their precious child, Robert
Wyche, aged one month and %
days.
Our sweet little rosebud has left us,
To bloom in another sphere;
He that gave him in wisdom bereft him,
Then why should we cherish tear.
He's treasure we've laid up in Heaven;
He's safe from each danger and snare;
Chow cruel the love that would bind him
To years of affection and care.
