was cast against Folk.
The victory for the st. Louis
prosecutor was as sweeping as
that which he won a week before.
There is a rush for the band

ordered a primary for April %.

her mother noticed the change,

frankie took its flight to'its home

Dec. 3, 1888; died April %. 1904,
making her age 16 years, 4 months
and 7 days. Their funeral was
preached at the Centralia Chris
tian church of which both the
girls were members.
The caskets were lowered in the
same grave. Carrie united with
the Christian church when about
IA years old and lived a consistent
Christian until death. frankie
united with the Christian church
about one year ago. These were
dear girls and were greatly missed
in our Sunday School when they
were away. They leave father,
mother, two sisters and one broth
err to mourn their loss.
Dear parents and friends, you
weep not as those who have no
hope; only a step and you will
meet these loved on es again.
How happy all the saints above,
For whom we are sorrowing here,
But now they taste unmingled love
And JOY without a tear.
