Last week two dear cid ladies
passed from this earth to their re-
ward. Grandma Brown and Grand
ma Robinson. fast friends for years,
aged ninety 1.-TWO and seventy-scven
respectively, died within a few
hours of each other. 1t seems that
in the case of these deaths, the rule
applied to death notices in this paper
should be overlooked and columns
devoted to each. Grandma Brown.
the writer knew and loved especial
we'll as she has been q constant
visitor at his home since childhood
and more welcome one there never
was. Though old in years, her heart
was young and she never complained.
Her wit was marvellous. Her know
ledge OF historic events covering
long range Of years was the wonder
of all who knew her. Up to within
u few days of her death she recount
with precision, the events of over a
half century. She loved music and
the strains OF lively march would
fill her whole soul with enthusiasm;
perhaps the strains of the martial
music brought back memories OF
days gone by; perhaps she could see
through the mist Of years, dear
friends and relatives marching under
the green flag emblazoned by the
harp she loved SO we'll; perhaps she
lived over again the days when her
wonderful nation struggled against
the iron hand of oppression; and
perhaps she felt again that it was
such hearts us hers that kept life
and spirit in the armies that
marched to glorious defeat. With
such hearts behind their maneuvers
no army Of men can ever be de-
feated. Grandma Browns was a
successful life, even in death she
gained a most wonderous battle with
life and she was ready TO so hand in
hand with her dear old friend to
their Maker. Grandma Robinson
was no less u brilliant woman
and courageous mother. In such
lives as these great morals can well
be drawn and to emulate their
courses in life should be the effort
of those who were fortunate enough
to know them for the grand women
they were.
The smallest baby ever born in
Lawrence county is now being cared
for at the county Jail at Deadwood
When born it weighed but two
pounds, but during its brief life o.
three weeks has gained a pound an(
three quarters. Aside from it's size
the child seems to be normal in every
way. The mother, who is but l;
, years OF age, has lived with nel
father, brothers and sisters in ono
room in a squalid hut in the country
near Grow Peak. The father of the
child is, according to the girl S story
a boy Of only 1G years, who has al
? ready left for parts unknown. Tho
2 girl was brought in to the county
/. Jail, and will be brought before the
county court. when some provision
will be made for her and her child
Carl Peterson, the whirlwind ball
player, who held down third base
for the Hot Springs team last year
has signed with the Deadwood team
for the coming season. Now is the
time to organize ball club in this
| city and the enthusiasts should ge,
together at once and perfect al
organization. A good ball team
, one that would stand among thu
, leaders would be an excellent adj
, vertisement and furnish a world o
! amusement.
