LAKE CITY, October 5:-On
Monday, September %, 1908, at
8 80 o'clock, the blessed Lord
sent bright and holy angels to
the home of Mr. and Mrs j w
McElveen and carried away to
heaven their oldest child, Walter
LeVeru. Many hearts were
stricken with sorrow and grief
to have to part with the little
flower that withered so soon.
But Gods will must be done and
we must submit to His will.
LeVern was a bright and
intelligent child and all who
knew him loved him. He lived
in this world only five years
just long enough to win the love
of all who knew him and be the
pride of his dear parents.
But farewell, dear little
Vernie, we hope to meet you in
a bright world above.

Rice Culture.

The best of all rice known in the
market for size and quality is that
grown in South Carolina. The year
1894 is the earliest in which rice is
known to have been grown in this
country. Rice culture is as old as
history, having been known in India i
from time immemorial. The wild
rice, still plentiful in the marshy,
tropical countries of southern Asia,
is undoubtedly the plant from which
all forms of cultured rice have been
deriyed-New York American.

In order to evade it builders adopt

Other laws bearing on the heights
of buildings were passed in older
times. There was a tendency to di,
