George O. Caldwell Dead.

The sad news of the death of
George Caldwell reaches us, and
causes great sorrow among his
many friends here. He had for
some time travelled through various
parts of Mexico, Colorado and Ok
lahoma in search of health, and oft
times would be encouraged, but
death finally claimed him while on
a visit to his sister, Mrs. Lonzo FL
lison, at Rives. He was confined to
his bed only a few days, and, al
though mother, sisters and friends
lowered anxiously near, he passed
into the great unknown on May 10,
1904. George was born near Tren-
ton on Jan. 20, 1876, and, at an ear
ly age, came here with his parents,
where, up until a few years ago, he
made his home. He was widely
known as being an ideal Christian,
being a member of the Christian
church here, and always considered
one Of Union City's most promising
young men. Funeral services and
interment took place here at East
View. A FRIEND.

Death at Salem.

Miss Bessie Noah, Daughter of
MIR. and Mrs. S. II. Noah, died last
Sunday morning at the home of her
parents near Salem. The deceased
was stricken with an acute attack
of blood poisoning. She was Is
years Of age and member of the
Salem church
Death at this age is always APP
palling, especially so when the per-
son passes Immediately from the
the prime of health, embrace of
fond parents and surroundings of a
happy home to the confines Of the
grave. It is indeed a swift transit
ton from sunrise to sunset-in the
morning the glory of a perfect day
suddenly transformed to the night
of death. Yet it is only the body
which undergoes this change. The
spirit of the redeemed takes it's
fight to mansions beyond the skies,
filed with eternal glory, where
moths do not corrupt nor thieves
break through and steal. This is
comforting thought to the bereaved
family.
