Johnsie Little Dead.

On Friday night, May 10, the
Death Angel came quietly into
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. B
Little and took their dear little
daughter, Johnsie, away to her
home beyond our sight. 1t grieves
our hearts so much when we think
how sad it is to have to part with
her, for she was so sweet and
kind, and dearly loved by all
who knew her. Her loving dis.
position made her attractive ev.
erywhere she went. She was a
bright light in her home and that
light shone abroad in her life in
this world and is still shining in
that Home above.
We should not grieve for
Johnsie for we know that her
dear little soul is at home with
her Saviour and loved ones who
have gone before. While we
miss her gay songs which cheer
ed our hearts so many times,
when we could hear her singing
and see her smiling face which
seemed to tell us that Life was
so sweet to her. But, oh, the
greatest consolation is that her
life has now just begun. She is
happy now while we are so sad.
But let's remember that each
one of US must cross the same
river that Johnsie has crossed.
And then, how sweet it will be
when we can clasp her in our
arms on the other shore where
we will never say goodbye any
more, but reign throughout the
endless ages with our Saviour
and Johnsie and all our friends
and' loved ones who have gone
before.
Little Johnsie hasn't ever been
a healthy child but she was con-
fined to her bed Saturday, May
18th, and lived until Friday
night. Oh, we can't imagine
what she suffered those six days,
but she bore it all so patiently,
and amid all her suffering she
had a smile for every one Who'll
came to see her. But now wei
are so happy to know that she
mas suffered her last pain.
She was IL years old and was
ollght pupil o1 the 9th grade in
he Rockingham Graded School.
She took such great interest in
Ter studies, and am sure that
her little school.mates can never /
orget their little friend, Johnsie.
She leaves a mother, father, three |
listers, Ruby, Alice and Grace,
md one brother, Billy, and many
elatives and friends to mourn
Ter loss.
The funeral services were held Il
it her home Saturday afternoon
It $3.50, conducted by her pastor,

we're laid to rest at Northam

on the idea that city officials must
record the wishes and opinions of the
public The Wichita public service
corporation does not negotiate exclu-
sively with public officials but carries
its campaign to the voters themselves.
While the franchise is being consid-
cred by officials, the company ex-
plains in a series of advertisements all
details of the proposals SO the public
may be better able to advise their
officials.
The following cities have recently
entered into agreements with the

forced Roy SIagle, cashier, and a me-

a revolver. They escaped leaving
their victims locked in the vault.

Following this clue, officers ran down
the bandits who are now lodged in
