Small Boy Found Dead In Bed. Two
Brothers Give Good Lectures.
Personals.

Great sorrow was occasioned in the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. William Shannon
on last Thursday afternoon, when their
youngest son, Milton, aged Is years, was
suddenly stricken by death. He never
was strong or robust of constitution, and
for several weeks past had been suffering
from rheumatism and confined to the
bed and home. For a short time he
seemed to be regaining his health, and
recently was allowed to go out. At
noon on the day of his demise he was
at the postoffice and stores, and in an
swer to inquiries concerning his health,
replied that he was feeling much better.
! After dinner he lay down at the accus-
| toned hour, and later his mother went
to his room to find that his spirit had
taken its flight. He decided for Christ,
and gave his name to the church at de-
cision Day service in the Sunday School
while he was quite young. He had the
happy faculty of making friends with
all ages, which in turn made him a gen
eral favOrite. Funeral services were
conducted by the pastor, Rev T. !. /
Cochran, and interment made at Bar
rats Chapel Cemetery on Sunday after
noon.
