Marvellous Invention.

Wonders never cease. A machine
has been invented that will cut, paste
and hang wall paper. The field of in.
ventions and discoveries seems to be
unlimited. Notable among great dis.
coveries is DR.. Kings New Discovery

of good for weak lungs and saved
many life. Thousands have used it
and conquered Grip, Bronchitis,
Pneumonia and Consumption. Their
general verdict is: "It's the best and

Death Of Roy Jones.

Roy, son of Mr.. and Mrs. T. M
Jones, died from diphtheria at tht
family home southwest of Laclede
December 26, aged s years and Il
days. His illness was but shor1
time and his suffering was very great
yet he bore it with untold patience
The parting was sad but his great
gain-free from pain and care-he
sleeps in peace. The family wish to
extend thanks to the neighbors and
friends for their kindness during the
illness and death of their little one.
Yes he's gone but not forgotten,
To home more bright and fair;
Gone to dwell among the angels,
Freed from sorrow pain and care.
They will sadly, sadly miss him,
In their little cottage home;
For when the evening shadows gether,
Their little darling can never come.
Such patient little sufferer,
For one of such tender years,
1t seemed that God in his great goodness
Had vanished all complaint and tears.
Try to be brave as your darling;
Bear your burden, there is no cure;
Life is but weary shadow,
Death to all of us is sure.
