IN MEMORY.

The death angel knocked at the door
of Charley and Dorsa Ratcliff Sept. 3.
and called little Walter. aged 3 years.
The angel again knocked at their door
on the 14th and took their darling baby
Pearlorene, aged Q months. The bodies
were laid to rest in the Caney Fork
graveyard, the funerals being held by
Bro. NJ. V. Berry and Bro s. j. Hicks.
The graves were decorated with beau
tiful flowers by their relatives and
friends. Weep not, mother and father
after your little ones who have gone
on before. They are wearing the golden
crown with Jesus. Their suffering Is
done Jesus said. Suffer little children
and forbid them not to come unto
me-"
Little Walter bore his suffering very
patiently He was a bright little boy
and loved by all who knew him. He
had been sick most OF his life. Just
think, father and mother. what a great
change your little ones have made. You
ought to rejoice over the great change.
What a grand meeting 1t was for little
Henry to welcome them In.
The golden gates were opened wide.

IN MEMORY.

In sad but loving remembrance OF

Miller, little son and daughter Of John
and Suzie Miller. on Sept s. 1916, the
angel OF death paid a visit TO their
homo and claimed as It's own. Mary.
their youngest child. and on the 18th
their home was again saddened by the
death Of Otto. their youngest boy II
is hard for us TO understand why those
little ones were taken from the tender
care OF papa and mama when they
had done all they could to keep them
But why can't We say The Lords win
be done. not ours" The Lord giveth and
the Lord taketh away. blessed be the
name OF the Lord" Their sickness was
short. but their suffering great. While
home is sad and lonely without otto
and Mary, heaven is much brighter
with them. Today they arc singing
around the throne OF God waiting for
papa and mama To come.
In the death OF Otto and Mary home
has lost two precious Jewels. You can
hear their voices no more singing sweet
songs OF the hlest. but thanks be TO
God " we live faithful TO the end we
can see their sweet faces again sooner
or later,
Weep not. papa and mama, FOR your
babes, we know they are at rest They
also left to mourn one little brother
and sister. besides host OF friends
Funeral services were conducted by
their grandfather; Rev. a. II. Miller
and Rev. @. v. Pack. after which their
little forms were laid to rest In the
Judd burial ground, there TO sleep the

His great wisdom saw ~ TO take her
from those who loved her here. and
place her among the angels. and those
whose hearts are made saddest here

phial. but an actor In the same play on
the screen says he got his poison through
the forehead by means OF a wig.
While the venom In his case didn't re-
suit In his death. II marred his looks
which was almost as bad. and so Elwyn
Eaton filed suit in the Supreme Court
Yesterday for $4,000 damages against
the Rolfc Photo Plays. Inc. the com
pany which furnished him with the
alleged poisonous wig.
The poison. according to his affidavit
was transmitted by bacteria WHOSE
habitat was the unsanitary false hail
and who made a sortie from II. attack
Ing him unawares. This happened In
August last while he was engaged In
the Mctro-Rolfe production OF Shake
spcare's five reel scenario. At the time
he was so excited by the feud between
the Montagues and the Capulets which
was being fought out In vcrona-locatcd
at the West Sixty-Nrst street studio
that he didn't notice that the wig was
biting him.
But all the while the germs were tun.
melting through his forehead. he says
and he was nearly dying by inches
What brought this to his attention. he
declares. was a large boil which dc.
vclopcd into an absccss until stopped by
an operation. Eaton doesn't say whether
the bacteria pierced the bon and did
any damage to his brain. but he feels
sure they did ruin his pulchrltude.
