pnel;x Paul Miller.
On Saturday morning at $50 O'Clock
little Felix Paul Miller, the four year
old so1 OF Mr.. and Mrs. j. B. Miller,
quietly passed away after an illness of
about ten days The malady which
proved fatal failed to respond to the
treatment of the attending physicians
from the first and after battling heroic
ly with the disease the little life with
its joy and sunshine went out as the
flickering taper melts away. During
the few short years that he was given
to his fond parents their hearts were
entwined around his little life and drew
from it inspiration and countless joy,
hopes and ambitions. But, no hand
could stay the dread destroyer's COM
ing and the voice that brought joy and
gladness is stilled forever. For the be-
reaved parents the entire community
felt that sympathy which such sorrows
bring..and extend to them the condo
lence which comes from the depth of
their hearts. On Sunday morning the
remains were carried to Memphis where
they were laid to rest in the Jewish
cemetery. Quite number of the rela-
tives and friends from Tupelo and Lit
tie Rock attended the interment.
