Obituary..

We are grieved to chronicle the
death of Willie Ruth, only child Of
N. M. and Mallie Prebble Ellis,
near Fowler, on Wednesday of last
week.
The funeral services were conduct
ed from the M. E. church the fol
lowing Thursday by Rev. Ross, Rev.
Stamper assisting.
A large concourse filled the church
and followed the remains to its final
resting place-Graceland cemetery.
The death of this sweet child is
indeed a sad aff1iction to this esti-
mable young couple.
While less than two years old,
having been born Feb. 24th 1904,
Willie Ruth had scarce known a
moment without pain. A severe
sickness smote her early after birth
and she wasted away until she seem
ed mere skeleton. For more than
a year past little hope for her recov-
cry was entertained.
With loving solicitude Mr.. and
Mrs. Ellis watched and labored to
turn aside this dread stroke.
Throughout all the long yet GER
tain decline into the peace of the
tomb, this young child was without
fret or complaint. When sorest af-
flicted and racked with pain she yet
had loving smile for those about
her.
1t has seldom fallen to our lot to
note such general sorrow over the
passing of one so young.
We unite with the many friends
of Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis in the tender
of deepest sympathy.

The first entertainment of the
Lyceum Bureau will be given at the
court house Oct. 10th. A large num-
Der of our business men guaranteed
S21o for 5 entertainments. We
think it alright to provide amuse-
ment for our people. We refused
to sign any guarantee for personal
reasons. For long time we tried
to get the business men to guarantee
enough to make Hamilton's Band
self-sustaining but they did not re-
spond. For a long time the mem
bers paid regular assessments and
gave entertainments some of which
were very poorly attended, but we
always gave value received. We
always thought that the band should
have the support of all the business
men, as band is a credit to any
town and the citizens should sup
port it.

Samuel B. Send-It-Back and Frank

mating unknown defendants is John
Doe and Richard Roe but in this
case there seems to be disposition
to roast Sheriff Givler and County
Attorney Sullivan who have been
having this class of liquor returned
to the shippers. The Temperance
Union secured the services of r. w.
Griggs and he contends that it is the
duty of these officers to seize all the
| c. o. D. liquor that comes to the
depot. County ATTORNEY Sullivan
informs US that he was not consulted
about issuing search warrant fol
the depot and had no knowledge Of
there being so much booze at that
place. He also informed US that he
intended to make some investiga-
tions. We think that Mr.. Sullivan
does to the best of his ability. Not
tbeing versed in the law we do moi
feel competent to give legal opinions
but it safe to predict that the afore-
liquor will be duly smashed.
