Quoted by Rev. Gavin. Of Lakeland.
As evidence Of the high esteem
in, which the child was held a large
crowd Of friends and relatives were
present to lend sympathy and help
to the bereaved.
Elva was a very bright, sweet
child. and had entwined the love
vines Of her pure life so tenderly
around the hearts Of her loved ones
that separation seemed almost I'M
possible. but often in life
IT'S the joys the most priced that
are fleetest.
And that quickest creep out from
the heart;
As perfumes that are richest and
sweetest,
Are the earliest ones to depart.
Tints that Of all are sne rarest
Fade as upon them we gaze:
And the hours that are brightest
and fairest
Soon are hid with the lost yes

Elva, Just when we thought we
needed you most, and our hearts
were enjoying your sweet life to
the utmost, a loving Father reached
down and took you, but a beautiful
flower has only been taken from the
garden Of earth and transplanted in
the flower bed Of Heaven. from
whence it will be taken by loving
hands, some sweet day. and pressed
again to hearts that loved her here.
The sunset Of sweet life here is
only the dawning OF fairer day
in realms celestial, where the River
of Life flows on and the Rose of
Sharon blooms forever.

CITY MOuRNS DEATH Of
LITTLE FRANCES DUDLEY

Little Frances Dudley, the sweet
little daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. G.
w. Dudley. died at the family home.
Tennessee and Orange street. at $40
last evening, after an illness of only
q few days.
Not alone her family and imme-
date circle Of friends, but the en-
tire community is inexpressibly
shocked at the sudden passing away
Of this sweet child, who was loved
by all who knew her, and whose gen.
tie, amiable and loveable ways had
endeared her even to those who had
only a hailing acquaintance with
her, but whose hearts warmed to her
because Of the sunshine she seemed
to shed around her.
Everything that love and scientific
skill could do was resorted to in the
effort to save this precious life: but
there are times when human knowl-
edge and human efforts are as
naught-the times when the wisdom
that passeth understanding has de-
cided that Heaven needs the radi-
ance Of a flower too fair and delicate
to bloom in the care-laden airs OF
earth.
The funeral took place this morn
ing and the remains were laid to
rest in Lakeland cemetery. The
community mourns with the heart
broken family, and prays that after
time has dulled the keen edge of
their suffering, they may be led to
the realization that earth has no
sorrow that Heaven cannot heal"

Power of Attorney bIanks-Pioneer.

Jesse Rogers is pertecting all idea for a new stove, which he claims will result ill a saving of 50 per cent. in the wood bill. His contention Is that the center of the stove as at present constructed IS too far from tue heating surface, or outside of the stove, and that in consequence much of the heat gen erated is wasted. His idea is to dl vide the stove in tue center i'll such a way that there would be an open space therein between two iron plates. This would. of course, greatly increase the heating surface of the stove at less expenditure of wood. There are several other i1e2s which he proposes to incOr- porale in the new pattern stove, but tbc details are too lengthy ioi Us 10 go into here. A call at tie Golden Eagle hotel will result in a d monstra'iOn of the idea.
