some Of the railroad officials them.

in town, and forwarded to the sup

We are now pleased to state that
we have the information that a de-

the citizens will all be proud-one

The building is to be of modern de-
sign and will be built of stone and
concrete, the work of construction
to begin as soon as the weather will
permit. This will be good news to
the people of Pocahontas and the
action of the company in this mat.

VISITS PICKETT HOME

Little Winston Pickett, age SIX
years, son of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. r.
Pickett, was the victim of sad ac-
cident last Saturday evening, which
resulted in his death the following
morning.
Mrs. Pickett was engaged aboat
her household duties, having left
the children in room by themselves,
when in some manner the stove was
overturned aud kettle of boiling
water fell on the little boy, scald-
ing him in horrible manner. Med
ical aid was had just as quickly as
possible and the utmost skill en-
ploYed to allie, ate the child's suf-
ferlngs and save its life, but the ef-
forts were in vain and the little suf-
ferer died at O'Clock Sunday morn
ing.
A very impressive funeral service
was held at the home Monday at
one o'clock, Rev. Leroy, conduct
ing the same. Out of respect to
Mr.. Pickett, who is a member of
the board of education, school was
dismissed Monday afternoon and
many of the pu lis attended the
funeral. Six littl, boys, members
of Winston's class acted as pail
bearers at the home. The remains
were laid to rest in the Masonic
cemetery, near those of Mrs. Pick
ett's family that are buried here.
The death of loved one, in any
form, is sad, but in this manner il
is doubly so, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Pickett have the sincere sympathy
of all in this, their darkest, hour OF
bereavement.
