ChiId'S Death Caused
From Eating Poison

| 0PCCA0l w bAO GAbCIpL1pOS
Ruthville, Feb. 14.-About ten
months ago, our good neighbor Mr..
James S. Grogan was troubled with
a carbucle on his hand. He
secured some bichloride of mercury
tablets to be dissolved in water for
/ q wash. After his hand was heal
ed he had several tablets left,
which he wrapped in paper and
laid them on top Of the telephone,
and although Mrs. Grogan busted
the telephone often, she would re-
place the tablets. Last Friday night
Mr.. Grogan and son, Herschel,
were repairing the phone when
the tablets fell to the floor, and by
oversight were left their. Next
morning the sweet little thirteen
months.old son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Herself Grogan and their only
child-a promising little fellow,
who was just beginning to walk
and prattle- found one Of the tab
let's and swallowed it. When the
fact was known d physician was
hastily summoned. The little fel
low seemed in great agony and the
heroic work Of the physician and
friends proved Of no avail, as the lit
tie victim grew worse and worse
until after 4 o'clock, when the
messenger OF death came and, in
spite OF the prayers and tears of
the heart.broken young parents,
claimed him as his own. Not only
are the parents heart. broken, but
the aged grand parents almost
sank under the heavy load Of the
tragic death of their sweet little
grand child, which they almost
Worshipped. A long procession OF
sorrowing friends followed the
hearse with its precious freight to
old New Hope M. E. church, where
a large meeting house was filled
with relatives and friends who had
gathered to offer sympathy and
mingle their tears with the bereav-
ed. A suitable and impressive
service was held by Rev. H. B.
Terry, after which the little white
casket holding the body Of fathers
and mothers only darling child
was lowered in the cold grave,
there to calmly rest until called by
him who said, "Suffer little chill
dren to come unto me-"
The little babe has gone to rest,
To dwell with God, forever blessed;
It's little tongue will always praise,
A Savior's love redeeming grace.
Gould we but hear it's little tongue,
So sweetly sing the heavenly song,
Could we but see its smiling face,
Delightful with that happy place,
We would not wish it back again,
But say, sweet child, with God remain.
With a heart full Of sympathy.
Country,

in Mexico City and the German lega-

According to these reports, the action

It is declared that the German bank
has accepted quantities of the paper
issued by the Mexican government and
that the institution appears to have at
its disposal unlimited resources. From
the tenor of the reports it appears that
large quantity of German money has
reached the Mexican government. The
German legation, is said in the reports
to be virtually directing every move
OF the Mexican government, both in
ternally and externally
Considerable attention is given in
the renorts to the new Mexican con-

provisions apparently were devised as
means of assisting the cause of Ger
