 of Clark Sedwick 0lney.

The funeral services oI ht'ie Clark Sed wick O,ney held Ihurs- day afternoon were largely az tended by the many friends ot the grief-stricken family. The beau tiful flowers and tear-stained faces show just how strongly a little baby can draw the love ot those around it together with the sympathy which goes out to the heart-broken relatives.
 The Rev. w. A. Swift and the Rev. T. A. Park spoke comfort ing words to the large gathering and Miss Felbell, Mrs. Garden, Mrs. Griffen, Mir. Cardwell ard Mir. Wood sang sweet songs oi peace.
 A very impressive feature oi the service came when the serv- ice at the home closed and four sweet glrls dressed in white took charge of the casket as pail bear CTS. They were Misses Letha Izard, Callie Jones, Theda Legaie and Hazel Nall.
