BLED TO DEATH.

An accident occurred last Thursday
at the home of Walter Reaver, near
Middleburg, when a little son, Charles
Henry Reaver. in some manner fell
on a hoe. severing an artery and dy-
ing within half an hour from loss of
blood.
He had accompanied his 9-year-old
brother to a potato patch where the
latter was digging potatoes. Shortly
after he had dropped the hoe, the ell
der boy was startled by the cries of
his younger brother and looking
around saw the blood gushing from
wound in his head. Before medical
aid could be summoned death had re-
lieved the little sufferer.
We was aged years, 9 months and
6 days The funeral was held Satur-
day morning.

Mr.. Fiiteau spoke to the club on the
Importance OF the press in the daily
lfe of the people. showing how we
ere kept informed OF the news of tho
day by @carefui reading OF the pa
pers and how by the same means we

afterwards said that they had been
very lucky to get her to come to the
club. She was accompanied on the
piano by Miss p. r. Pereault.
Another very fine part of the pro-
gram was an overture which was

The sliding party is composed OF
dolls on miniature sleds, and all Of the
dolls are dressed in beautiful bright
colors which make a fine contrast to
the artificial snow with which the
scene is covered. Pictures Of pine
trees and real evergreen makes the
display even more lifelike. The COM
bination Of white and green with the
other bright coIors is very pleasing
to the eye.
That much attention has been paid

by the fact that the line of skiers
