Obituary.

Ethel Lucinda, second child Of John
and Mary Murrill, was born March 20,
1908, and died of tonsilitis Dec. 2G,
1906, aged one year, nine months and
six days. Precious little Ethel closed
her lovely eyes and went to heaven to
live with God and dear little Leona
forever, where death is not known
aud sorrow never comes. Our hearts
cling to the dear little treasure, oh, SO
much. We wanted to keep her, but
our Savior wanted to transplant the
beautiful little bud in iaIrcr climate
where she would unfold into perfect
flower in the paradise of God, So
dear parents, don't gricve for little
Ethel, but strive to meet her at the
beautiful gate where she will be wait
ing and watching for you.
There are two little new.made graves
A spot of hallowed ground;
Tread softly there, your babies sleep
Beneath the little mounds.
Their infant forms will molder there,
Till Jesus bids them arise,
To join the blood redeemed throng,
And meet Him in the skies,
Yet again we hope to meet her,
When the day of life is sped;
And in Heaven with JOY to greet her
Where no farewell tears are shed.

the Browuyille outrage he will take
what action is warranted. But the
President action in that matter
reaches out in two distinct dirrc-
tlons. II there were any soldiers

summary discharge of the troop
practically placed those guilty of
murder beyond the probability Of
ever being brought to justise. His
action not only did injustice to the
innocent, if any We're innocent, but
shielded the guilty from the con-
sequences of their acts under the
law. 1t is bad either way you take

the form of court martial.

and apparently done all she could to
