Found Dead in Bed

On Tuesday morning Decem mber
goth when Mr.. and Mrs Frank
Haynes awoke they were Mortified
to find their little babe dead in bed. i.
1t was about one o'clock when they
awoke and the babe had been dead
only few inmates, as it was yet
warm. The parents, thinking per-
haps the little one was only Stran-
gled, strived in vain to bring 1t
back to life. 1t is the suppositlon
that bold hives attacked the babe,
causing lis sudden death. Little
Ray was only six weeks old and the
pride of the home, but he has been
taken to brighter home than this
where there are no sorrows he will
know. Weep not, dear parents,
but be prepared for the Judgment
day when all will be gathered in
peace. A FRIEND.

MASONIC BODIES
INSTALL OFFICERS

nesday of last week. The installa-
tion was public affair at which the
wives and children of the members
were present. There were more
than one hundred in attendance and
a most pleasant occasion it was.
K. w. Davis, the outgoing
worshipful master of Randolph
Lodge No. n, installed the new
officers for that body, with E. Dali
ton as marshal. E. G. Schoonover
was installing officer for Pocahontas
Chapter No. SO, R. A. NJ, and for
for Aholiab Council, No. 40, r. &
S. NJ, with w. C. Norment as
marshal. DR.. G. E. SHUTTLE,
worthy patron, acted as installing
officer for Red Cross Chapter, o. E.
S., with Mrs. w. C. Norment as
marshal. Mrs. Nell Lucas presided
at the organ during the ceremonies
of the installation.
The supper, one of the principle
features of the occasion, was under
the excellent management of r. L.
Stackhouse, assisted by John r.
Kizer, and to say that everything was
fine is putting it very mildly. The
supper was all that could be desired
and the arrangement of everything
was to the very best advantage.
The officers elect were all present,
except two. The names of all the
new officers elected were published
in the Star Herald two weeks ago,
