SUNSHINE LAND.

Fare forth upon your way,
Tho paths are drear
! Your way will clear,
Youll reach your guest today.
For this the lesson all must learn.
The lesson earth can give;
If we have love
All things above
in Sunshine Land we live.

Walter Harvey Hurt, Jr.,
Badly scaIded.
The friends in this city of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harvey Hurt, Jr., the latter for
merly Miss Rose Green, of this city,
will read with regret the following
item from the Meridian Dispatch of
Sunday. The little fellow is the grand
son of Mrs. J. G. Green, of this city:
Walter Harvey Hurt, Jr., the little
one-year-old son Of Mr. and Mrs. Har-
vey Hurt. 2100 18th street, came near
meeting death yesterday by turning
over a kettle of boiling water. The
little fellow was toddling about the
room and kettle of boiling water had
just been placed on the dresser and
while his mothers attention was at
tracted to something else, he reached
up and pulled the kettle over, the
steaming water running down his face
and body, badly blistering the tender
skin wherever it touched. His face
and neck were considerably scalded
and all of the skin Of his left arm from
the body to the wrist was blistered
and pulled off.
while the wounds are extremely
painful to the little fellow. it is be-
lieved he will recover from them with
no serious aftereffects. The unfor-
tunate little fellow is the grandson of
Mr. w. NJ. Hurt, city editor of the Dis.
patch and is the idol of his heart.
THE sympathy of a large number
of friends is extended to the parents
and grandparents as the result of the
unfortunate accident and all hope the
bright little fe4ow will recover and
that no trace of the accident will be
left to mar his features or person.
