sorrow Sunday afternoon when

earthly abode the sweet spirit of

IN its visitation. The child had
been a sufferer for three years

such that little hope was held out
for her recovery.

were allotted to her on earth and

herself not only the hearts Of her
household but to all the neighhor-

make to postpone her passing

Mackenzie against Douglas county are

county at the order of the county court

making formal complaint and Ber.
ridge lost out. He applied to the su-
