grave and - such he will ever be
cherished in the hearts Of all his
friends and associates here and in his
home town. The body was brought
here and the funeral conducted from
the n. +. Church by Rev. J. I. Col.
Inns. He paid a beautiful tribute to
the young man, having known him
from childhood. Charles was 25
years of age and leaves, besides his
parents, three brothers aud one sister.
A large attendance from Brunot,
Greenville and Piedmont was here
for the funeral; the crowd could not
get into the church. As the casket,
drsped in the flag for which this brave
young man died, was opened and the
friends and relatives took the last
look at his form, many hearts were
broken and a wave Of sympathy goes
out TO the bereaved family in the loss
Of a noble son. As we said of the
other young man, not only has he
made the great sacrifice for his coun-
try, but the parents Of Charles have
made theirs and in after years will
feel proud of him that he has filed
a hero's grave. May the Lord COM
fort the bereaved ones in this dark
hour! The floral offerings we're
beautiful and the church was draped
in National colors in honor OF our
soldier boy, and our flag hung all day
at half mast.
There is quite an Improvement in
our town since Main street has been
changed. We have a fine concrete
walk now down as far as the Johnson
property and store.
Judge Raney from Greenville,
Sheriff York Lovelace and VIM. Car
ter and Jas. Banks and family, from
Piedmont, were here to attend the
funeral of Chas. NJ. Lovelace.
Mrs. W. T. Stevenson and children
left Sunday for Goodland, Kansas, in
answer to a message to come to the
bedside Of the little son of Mrs. Eva
Walcott, who is not expected to re-
cover from an attack OF brain trouble,
having an abscess formed on the
brain. The little fellow just left here
a few weeks ago with his mother who
had been here ON a visit, and the
news came as a great shock to the
relatives here. He was a fine, robust
boy, the picture of health, and the
parents have our deepest sympathy in
this dark hour.
A. X. Wallis has charge of the store
he recently bought of j. II. Stevenson.
He is a wide awake young man and
we hope will make a success in bust
ness. We can say for his predecessor,
j. Fl. Stevenson, that we always found
him accommodating in business and
an honest and all round fine business
man. We are sorry to see him 60 out
of business. But he had other matters
to look after which keeps him busy,
and therefore he did not have the
time to put into the store and run his
farm and other property he has to
look after.

Stevenson is also attending the w. c.
7. U. Convention as a delegate this
week and visiting her sons at East AL
ton, Ills.
Wray Daniels, son of Luther Daniels,
is seriously i'll at his home here of q
relapse of typhoid fever. He was
getting along nicely, but anxious to
get out he rode to the funeral horse
back a few weeks ago when our first
soldier boy was buried, and since then
has been been very sick. He is a good
boy and we hope the Lord will spare
him to regain his health. He ia such
a comfort to his parents and special
prayers were offered in his behalf at
the services held at the Baptist church
Sunday night. Also for the little son
of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Walcott in
Goodland, Kansas.

Maxine, spent Sunday in St. Louis
