I,

ted by many friends, who will be glad
to welcome them back. Mr.. Melchert
was not certain Of making his home

he is contemplating such a move.
However, If he should decide to re-
turn to Walhalla it is probable that

parents in Germany before coming
back.

and several other children were draw
ing water at the time, and the little
fellow was leaning against the well
Dox when it tilted over, letting the
child fall into the we'll, a depth of
about so feet. Assistance was soon
at hand and the little fellow was
drawn out, one Of the rescucrs going
down on a rope. The child, however,
was dead when brought to the sur
face, his neck having been broken
and his skull fractured. Mr.. Long
and family moved to the mill vii
lage some few months ago, coming
from the upper section Of the county.
The family have the sympathy of
many in their sad aTliction.

chronicle the death Of Mrs. j. n.
Rutherford, which occurred at her
