Many pleasant thought viii come
TO them of the happy days spent here
in childhood, also sad memories will
come to them as they think of the
loved ones that have passed over the
friver of death. Thus is life filed
with happiness at times, then with
sadness and sorrow.
Mrs. Nora Mills, who has charge of
the telephone exchange, was robbed
last Thursday night. The thief en-
tered the house by the north window
and went into the bed room and with
a lighted lamp went through the
trunk and turned the bedding up and
then to the wash stand where he
found purse with $1,000 which he
took. He lett the empty pocket
book on the dining table and also the
lamp. The money was all he wanted.
Mrs. Mills was alone. She thinks
the robbery was done between $3.50
and 1880 So far the thief has not
been located. 1t looks like it was
someone that knew she had the mon
ey in the house. When S. NJ. Greene
heard of the robbery, he said he
was sorry i dollars worth. He got
busy and raised from the citizens a
purse of $3.50 and presented it to
Mrs. Mills last Saturday evening to
replace the stolen money. Now If
we had the thief we could make him
feel so pleasant.
Henry Sanders was born in Johnson
county August 18th, 1855, and died
at the home ofhis brother, T. c..
Sanders, July IA, 1909, at 5 o'clock a.
m, aged SO years, 10 months and 26
days. He had made his home with
his brother for the past "a years. His
life was a quiet one. He was
stricken with an attack Monday
morning which resulted in his death.
We have known Henry for many
years and he always appeared to have
an even temperament and attended
strictly to bis own affairs. he was
possessed of a big heart and by his
kindness of disposition made friends
wherever he went. There are
many around Mayview who viii learn
of his death with regret. If he ever
had an enemy we never heard of It
The funeral took place at the Chris
tian church on July 18TH at 1880 a.
m, conducted by Elder Arthur
Downs assisted by Rev. Talbert, af
ter which interment took place in
Marvin chapel cemetery. How sac
it makes US teel when we place oui
dear ones in the grave. But thanks
to our Heavenly Father for the edict
that all is done for the best. Some
time we viii know and understand
why hearts are crushed With sorrow
A CARD OF THANKS.
