DIED-Friday, May %, 1909,
infant son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lawrence Bethea, age two
hours. For the little life so
early spent, weep not, it was to
God he went. " Mrs. Bethea
was formerly Miss Laura Gain,
of New Orleans. The sympathy
of every one, especially the
mothers, goes out to the aching
hearted little mother. Oh! the
joy and pleasure that is served
in every tiny hem and tuck of
the dainty garments for the
first born, the sweet pleasure
that is anticipated in the clasp
of the little hands. Fond hopes
ne'er realized.
"For tell me mothers you who
| know,
Although it never saw the
| dawn,
Have other children been to
| you,
What was the loved and lost,
first born?"
Mrs. Bethea is quite i'll at
