Flower of the Home Passes Away.

A crushing blow came to DR.. and Mrs.
l. Hunter early last Saturday morning
when the messenger, death, entered
their home and took away the idol of
their hearts, little Leontine Elnora,
age seven years and eight months.
Leontinc had been i'll five days with
Follicular tonsolitis and while her sick
ness was looked upon with apprehension
by the parents they were entirely un-
prepared for the sudden extinguishment
of the life lamp that was dear to them.
The child was able to be up and around
the house each day of her sickness,
even to the day befole she died. Moth
ing particularly alarming occurred until
early Saturday morning and then DIR.
Hunter saw the end was near. Death
came suddenly and before he could
arouse and bring Mrs. Hunter to the
room.
Funeral services were held on Monday
from the family home conducted by
Rev. Milton Fish of the Baptist church
and Rev. rockingham. Magnificent
floral offerings completely buried the
little casket, coming as they did from
friends of Leontine and her parents.
Following simple but pretty service
the remains were conducted to the
Delta cemetry for interment.
In this unusually sad afficton DIR.
and Mrs. Hunter have the warm and
tender sympathy of their large number
of friends.

rockingham Weddings.

The Rev. DIR. rockingham has been
almost working himself to death lately
marrying people. Says he don't mind
it bit and really enjoys splicing hearts
but the process is a losing game to him
financially. The doctor accuses his
wife of collecting all fees and he is out
so cents for certificate which he
presents to each happy couple. No one
can blame Mrs. rockingham for taking
the money-if she can get it-but the
doctor is to be pittied if he really loses
out in financial way after doing all
the work.
At his home last Sunday, March Bird,
two weddings occurred. V. G.. Park
hurst and Lena Montgomery were
joined in holy wedlock and launched
their bark on the stormy sea of matri-
mony. These young folks live UP the
Gunnison valley; they are popular with
wide circle of acquaintances and have
the best wishes of everybody for the
best of everything until death do them
part.
DIR. rockingham was also called upon
to say the magic words which bound
the hearts of Miss Myrtle Ashley and
A. W. Lanning. both of Austin. They
start life with brightest prospects and
best wishes of numerous friends. MAY
they always be good, live long time
and die happy is the wish of this
paper.
