The Baby Boy Who Was So Badly
 Burned Tuesday.

The Carver baby boy. mention of whose serious injury was made in yes terday's paper. died in the afternoon on Tuesday The little fellow fingered less than three hours after the acei- dent and the funeral was held yester- day afternoon from the home of B. B. MOeur. The services were conducted by Rev. s. M. Cheek. pastor of the M F. Church South. and the iRterment was made in the Double Butte ceme- tery.
 It was about l o'clock Tuesday af- ternoon when the accident that re- suited in the baby's death occurred Through some unknown manner it's clothing took fire and before the flames could be eXtinguished, the child was fearfully burned about it's face and the entire upper part of its body. It is presumed from the fatal consequences that followed so quickly that the baby must have inhaled some of the flame. for it was hardly con- sidered possible that the exterior burns would have caused death in such a short time, though they were deep and would. no doubt, have resulted fatally in time
