At the home Of his parents near

McManus. The deceased was only
eight years aud six months old when
death called him, bnt even at that
tender age little Oscars manly ways
and strong mental capacity bad won
for him a place in the hearts of his
associates that none. other can fill.
In his home father, mother, brothers
and sisters wereloath togive him up,
hut in the death of the dear one y
lesson was learned that might never
have been known by any other
means. After being confined to his
bed one day and night he appeared
at aase, and talked freely Of his plays
and seemed to he happier than usual
saying over the baptismal ceremony
that he had recently heard. To ns
II seems that the nnnd Oh GOd han
caused these scenes to pass before
him to drive away the sad sting oi
death. Just at that moment he cali
ed to the loved ones of the household
and declared that he WAS going, and
bidding them goodbye with pleas
ant smile playing over his face b.
passed away. His remains were laid
to rest in the Mars Hill graveyard
in the presence Of host Of weeping
relatives and friends.
Weep not for little Oscar. He bas
only gone to the realms of light t.
