ANOTHER AWFUL DEATH.
Little Girl Dies of Burns-Sister Met
Similar Death Two Years
Ago.

Little Daisy James, the three-year
old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Lominick, Of Caldwell township, met
with horrible death last week. With
two other little children she was play
ing in field, setting fire to some
broom straw, when her clothing was
caught by the flames and she was blis-
tered from her hips to her feet. The
burning occurred at about 8 o'clock
Friday afternoon and the little suffer-
er fingered until about 8 o'clock the
next morning, when death came to her
relief. Everything possible to relieve
the agony and save the life of the
child was done by the faithful attend
ing physicians, Drs. P. G. ENesor and
W. T. Dickert, but in vain. Her pain
was decreased, but her destiny was
eternity. She was buried on Sunday
morning, the second Sunday Of the
AufCuL SSdSOu, dL OL- I u1111pS, CuS oSl"
vice being conducted by thu Rev. Y.
Won A. Riser, at II o'clock.
This terrible accident is peculiarly
sad, following 80 soon after the fear
full death OF little Mary Houseajl Full
enwider, and being the second death
by burning in the family of Mr. Lom-
3nick, whose little daughter, Maggie,
lost her life by burning two years ago
to the day Of the death Of little Daisy
James. A most sad coincidence and a
most bitter experience for a devoted
mother and father. The sympathies
Of the public are aroused by this har-
rowing affiction that has been visited
upon the sorrowing parents, who,
while they may. not now understand
the darkness and gloom, might adopt
in their liturgy of grief" this beauti-
full and comforting sentiment: "The
things DER which We grieved with
lashes wet, will flash before us out Of
life's dark night, as stars shine most
in deeper tints of blue"

trict No. 9, November %, 1910, the

cash basis for seven months each
year. The present board Of trustees
are: Messrs. E. J. Cromer, W. P. Lom-
mick, W. D. Cromer These gentle
men have added ten feet more to the
building in the last six weeks and are

hands of safe and competent set Of
gentlemen, for which We are grateful.
This school has been taught for II
