St, Tuesday morning at about four
O'Clock, aged 4 months, l week and
days. This little child had been an
invalid all its life, and on the 9th of
April it became SO much worse that
DIR. Trail was called and pronounced
its disease brain fever. Still it lin
gered on, growing worse each day I'M
til a few DAYS before its death DIR.
Sets came and said it had tuberculos-
is of the brain. No one can tell what
this poor little child suffered during
its short life. A short time before its
death it would groan, so great was its
suffering. At last the grooming ceas-
ed, the little heart stopped beating,
and little Nellie Catherine was with
Jesus. 1t was hard. indeed, for these
young parents to give up their fist
and only child, but God needed one
more Jewel to set in His holy crown.
He has taken this precious little one
from this wicked world. She never
knew what sin was, and she is in heav-
en-, waiting for papa and mama to
come. Live, dear parents, IN the way
the Lord directs you, and be prepared
to meet your little one in a world
where parting will be no more. The
little formwas laid in a beautiful white
casket, and taken to Riverside ceme-
terry Tuesday afternoon for burial.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. S. A. Owens and Sister NJ. V.
Hall. We deeply sympathize with
these parents in their sad affection.

The death of Jim Melton occurred at
his home neal Wayside at an early
hour Friday morning, May "a. He was
married twice. l am unable to quote
the name of his first wife, but after
her death he and his two little girls
lived with his mother on the old Hood
enpyle place, near Smyrna, it being
the home of his grandparents. Sever
al years ago he was united in marriage
to Miss Callie Couch, an estimable la
dy living with her widowed mother
near Wayside. To this union was born
another little girl, making three in
all. He was then engaged in farming
on a farm on Red Road. About a year
ago his health commenced to fail and
he was compelled to give up farming
and with his little family, moved to a
house near bis mother-in-l laws where
he resided until his death. He was a
kind and dutiful husband and father,
a good kind neighbor, and we'll re-
spected by everybody. He was we'll
known by the writer, being at our
house frequently, and seemed nearly
like a brother to my youngest child
rem. All who know him will sadly
miss him, and my heart goes out in
sorrow for his poor wife and three lit
tie girls, and his aged mother, who
was in Texas, and returned but did
not reach home until after he was
dead. Dear wife and mother, put your
whole trust in God, and ere long you
will go to that bright haven above and
meet your dear husband and son never
to part or say good bye any more. If
l could only speak one word to con-
sole you O. heal your sorrow, l would
willingly do. so, but human consola-
tion is so weak in such cases as this.
God alone can give you comfort and

interment on Saturday, May 25th.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. j. T. Pentecost, the Metho-
dist minister at Falkner's Chapel near
the Tennessee Wooden Mills.
''We shall meet but we shall miss him,
There will be one vacan chair,
And we'll linger to caress him,
When we breathe our evening
prayer"
