GUIDIAN HARRIS.
On the 18th. of April 1902
as the angels went forth scat
tering flowers over the
earth, little Gid was left as a
beautiful bud to bloom in the
family circle to Mr.. and Mrs. R.
O. Harris. but he was a flower of
short stay. On September 10Th.
1904 another angel went forth
gathering flowers, and little Gid
was entwined in the wreath of
Heaven. Thou art gone, our
precious darling; never more will
the dear voice that made sweet
music in our ears be heard on
earth little pattering feet once
SO busy are now still forever.
Gid was the light of the home,
almost idolized by papa and
mama, he seemed to be the
favorite in the family. 1t is
hard to give him up but we have
the blessed assurance that he is
safe in a Heavenly Father s love-
Dear parents, we sympathize
with you; only father and moth
er can feel the loss you sustain.
Fold his little garments away
and dry your tears and look to
Him who hath said, Il will never
forsake thee" and may you
both be able to say. THE Lord

away, blessed be the name of the

their friends and two Of them
tied for the first place, Miss
Lottie Savage and Miss Sula

81 votes to her credit and Mrs.
Rama Egger of this city is fourth
with total vote of II. Miss
Ogla Bell and Miss Mary Brown

that three ties should occur in
one week s vote.
The new candidates represent
several sections and their friends
upon the announcement that
they are in it will at once rally to
their support and next Satur-
day S vote promises to be large
one. It is rumored that several
other candidates will be entered
next Sunday but of this we are
not informed.

Many people in Columbus are
ia the habit of mailing copies of
each issue of THE DISPATCH to
friends and loved ones at a dis
lance, and if they only knew it
they could save money and
trouble by entering the names
on the subscription books and
having the papers mailed direct
from this office. Most of the
papers mailed out by individuals
have two cent stamps affixed to
them, and as there are 104 issues
of the paper per annum the ex-
pense for postage during that
time amounts to SOS. while for
$500 the paper will be mailed
direct from this Office, thus saw
ing time, expense and trouble.
