CHILD BURNS TO DEATH

Horrible Fate at New Home
Crab Orchard. Jan. 3.


the youngest child of Charles and
Alice Singleton had burned to death
Christmas eve. No particulars came
SO We cannot state how the terrible
accident happened, but they have the
sympathy Of the entire community
| i'll this sad hour.
Rev. Rogers resigned his pastor
ship of the Baptist church here last
week and will continue his work with
the Preachersville church until his
time there expires. He has given the
church here three years work as
pastor, and although young man,
we doubt if any other pastor ever
gave such universal satisfaction to
all, rs has he and it was with feel
ings of deep sorrow, his members
gave him up. On December Goth, a
parting reception was rendered him
by members of both the Baptist and
Christian church at the home of Mrs.
w. D. EdmistOn. where after a mus
zeal, a most delightful salad lunch
was served. His friends all babe him
a most affectiOnate farewell and
hope he will always be as much APP
preciated elsewhere as he was here.
