OLD TIME BATTLES OFTEN WENT
 OVER ONE HUNDRED ROUNDS

The six and ten round boxing bouts of today would have been greeted with a merry haw-haw by the old time gladiators of the ring, who considered that a half hour or so of fighting was necessary to get really warmed up One of the most famous of the iron men of the last century was the Eng fish boxer, Mike Madden, who took part in a number of conflicts that went over a hundred rounds On Dec. 12, 1S4s. just sixty-ffve years ago to- day, Mike whipped Jack Grant in d bout of 40 rounds. lasting five hours and 5 minutes The following year July Madden and Bill Hayes scrapped, for six hours and three minutes The latter was the longest bare knuckIe fight ever held, with the possible ex- ception of bout between minor pugi- lists in Australia The pugilistic rec ord for number of rounds was made In 1925, at Cheshire, England, when Jack Jones whipped Patsy Funny in 2T6 rounds Tom Spring. who held the championship in the early part of the last century, was another ''iron man. of the ring. He defended his title in several long and sensational battles, that with Jack Langan, the Irish champion, lasting two hours and a half Mike Donovan, who fought his way up to the midd1eweight cham pionship and is still engaged in the OlS game aS d DO&lnS instructor. be-

SuIIi- vans seVenty-fiVe round battle with Jake Kilrain in Mississippi is still re- mem bered by all the older fans Even among the little fellows there were many long battles Ike Weir, the Irish featherweight, and Frank Murphy the English feather champion, fought eighty rounds to a draw. Weir also fought eighty rounds, with the sa me result, with Johnny Havlin, a Boston featherweight, the affair being pulled off in the woods of Rhode Island and at night The BOwen-Burke 11O- round draw, lasting seven hours and nineteen minutes, which was pulled off in New Orleans twenty years ago, is

Died, near this place, June 10, 1913,
from an attack of cholera infantum, little
Garland, only son of Mr.. and Mrs. W. G.
Faircloth, aged one year, four months and
nine days.
The little heart is lifeless and cold; the
little eyes, which few weeks ago were
radiant with child g innocent Joy, are now
closed forever-and the family, 80 recently
bereaved, is called upon to mourn the loss
of dear, sweet child.
God in His mercy permitted not the little
suffer to linger so long, and soon the bright
little spirit, freed and enfranchised, was
lighted on the way to its home of eternal
rest.
The death of children teaches us an in
structive lesson. Will He who has made
man for His own glory, with the helpless
infant, that has added nothing to this
world, blot out its existence forever? Is
not that spirit immortal destined to perform
its mission in higher and better sphere?
Is there no resting place for the aged?
"Tell me- my soul-oh! tell me, Hope and Faith,
Is there resting place from sorrow, sin and death?
Is there happy spot, where mortas may be blest,
Where grief may find balm and WEAKNESS rest?
Faith, Hope and Love, best boons to mortals given,
Waved their bright wings and whspered-Yes in Heaven"
Little Garland had such a sweet dispo-
sition that all who saw him loved him. He
lived in this world just long enough to en-
Irvine his sweet little life around the hearts
and ground it deep in the affections of
father and mother, and other loved ones
and friends, and then flew away to his
beautiful home in heaven among the angels
to wait for the home coming of heart
broken parents-who have loved him long
and lost a while. Heaven would not be
heaven without children. He is now safe
let US go to him.
May our Father in heaven comfort the
bereaved hearts. ONE WHO LOVED HIM.
