Death of an Infant.

A very sad death occurred in the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. S. It. Hughes,
who live a few miles out of town, last
Saturday. Their little daughter, Ra-
chel Catherine, about fifteen months
old, went to join the angel band, in
that celestial home beyond tie skies.
She was bright child, the idol of low
ing parents, brothers and sisters. Re-
ligious services were held in the Pres
byterian church, this city, Sunday at
eleven a. M, the building being full
of sympathizing relatives and friends
The discourse was preached by Rev.
Calvin Christie, pastor of the Grady
vile work, who delivered one of the
most appropriate sermons on such &C.
casions we overheard, and it evidently
furnished much comfort for the ia.
ther and mother and all other rel
atives. The interment was in the
city cemetery. The pail bearers were
Mr.. E H. Hughes, Judge T, A. Muir
rell, DR.. J. N. Murrell and Rev. NJ. M.
Mu1rell, uncles Of the little child.
While the separation was hard to
bear, the parents should take comfort,
knowing that their lovely child is now
in a brighter, better world and being
cared for by her tender and loving
| Savior.

excellent program at the Graded
School music room. An audience that
taxed the capacity of the room was
not slow in expressing its appreciation
of the program. This department of
the Graded School is growing, and the
class of work done proves that the
Board was fortunate in securing Miss
Chandler as instructor.
Mr.. John E. Gowdy was down town

was warmly greeted by many friends
who we're glad to see him out once
more. He has been confined to his
bed from a fractured hip for several
months and was compelled to lie in
one position nearly all the time. This
rendered his imprisonment irksome
and we join in congratulations and
hopes for his complete recovery.

As citizen, an upright man, he is
