 Selma. Jan. IT.
 The news of the death of Mary Eliz- abeth. the two and a half year old daughter of Mir and Mrs. J. Hooper Adams, was learned with sincere regret by the citizens of Selma this morning. The death of the little girl was very sudden and resulted from burns that she received last night at the home of her parents on Selma Street, between Lauderdale and Church.
 It is thought that the girl went too near the grate while there was no one in the room and that her clothing caught. When help answered her cries she was a mass of flames from head to foot, and when they were extinguished it was found that she had been badly burned. Medical aid was quickly sum moned and all that was known to sci euce was done to relieve the little one of her sufferings. but it was Of no avail and this morning about 6 o'clock she died.
 Last evening about o'clock Mrs. Ad- ans and the childs nurse were in the room with her when simultaneously the front door bell and the telephone bell rang. The nurse went to the | front door and Mrs. Adams answered | the telephone call After she had been out of the room few minutes Mrs. Adams heard her little daughter $ screams and dropped the receiver and ran into the room where she had just l left her only to find the little one d ] mass of flames
 The funeral services over the remains or the little girl took place this after noon at 4 o'clock from their residence l on Selma Street, and they were fol lowed to the grave by a large number of the friends and relatives of thC | family.
