visited the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
G. H. Shirley claiming the spirit of
their sweet little daughter, Lila Mae,
who only seventeen months ago came
TO brighten and cheer their hearts
and home. Lila Mae was not only
a joy to the devoted parents and
| grand parents but to all who came
ir touch with her. All hearts were
saddened when they heard of little
Lilla's illness. All that loving hearts
and medical aid could do could not
stop the dread disease. Too fine for
this earth she will blossom in Heaven.
Oh! parents and loved ones do not
weep for "The Lord giveth and the
Lord taketh away. Blessed be the
name of the Lord" To this great
cloud God will show you silver lin

dened and dark, heaven is brighter,

there are our hearts Also" Several
