1t is sad indeed when a young
person is cut down in the midst
of their activities and just
when the time had come for
him to show his capabilities in
his chosen profession. Among
railroad men he was considered
unusually bright and his future
was assured. 1t is a sad blow
to his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. M.
lie. Burbank and they have the
heartfelt sympathy Of the en-
/ tire community.
My wife and | have investi-
gated the merits of different
kinds of Gasoline Stoves sold
by the trade, and we have de
cided to purchase the Jewel,
sold by j. r. McGavren.
Mobiles Lake is enjoying
sweet music, both instrumental
and vocal these nice warm
evenings. Bender and family
are camping out there and in
the evenings give concerts
The vocalists are some well
known sportsmen and it is said
: that the natives of the Sunny
South are not in it with these
celebrated singers. However
the fish have taken to the tai
weeds and refuse to be coaXec
out, except in day time. 1t is
said even the farmers forsake
: their homes and wander down
to the lake to hear the music
"Verily music has charms t.
soothe the savage or some
| thing to that effect, no slurs OF
] the farmers however.
Remember Dir. Chapek the
celebrated eye specialist will bt

10 and 20.
