She was just 5 years and 15 days old,
the morning her sweet little spirit
took its flight.
She suffered for 17 days very much,
but amid it all she never murmured,
but was so patient. She seemed to
have premonition of her death, and
frequently spoke of it, manifesting a
perfect resignation to the will of God,
saying that she was ready and not
afraid to die. Her life will be
a precious recollection to her bereaved
parents who so long nursed the little
darling in hope.
She was buried Sunday evening, at

Owing to the dis
turbed condition of
the clothing trade
this season, we have
concluded to sacrifice
our handsome stock
of brand new clothing
in order to meet
competition of any
kind, trusting to re
gain at some, future
time the losses w©
will naturally sustain
by this sacrifice sale
of clothing.
The public are cor
dially invited to call
and compare our
“PANIC” PRICES
with any other in
town before buying.
We have no fear of
the result.
