Smith, infant daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. s. Smith. She passed away
Thursday morning, January 4th. She
was born May 10th, 1916 She had
been sick for about two weeks with
pneumonia. All that science and
skill could do was done for her. Only
few months rest in the home Of her
parents, and then she was called to
the "Home Of Homes" eternal. How
tenderly her loved ones watched be-
side her when the end seemed inevi-

Olga as being dead, for she lives on,
and to those she leaves behind,

ing; and the way is indeed brighter.

tanned nothing but some letters, and

ed no explanation.
There was practically nothing left
OF Walton except his head, his back
bone and his shoes.
Walton was formerly grocer in
Birmingham, and was charged with
killing his partner, M. o. Barton,
