Pnblbhed by Request:
The last words of Clarence All*eri Jones,
the little son of Dr. and Mrs. J. X. Jones,
who died Wednesday morning, October 18,
were: ‘’Mamma, put my eyes to sleep.” To
the bereaved parents the following lines are
in sympathy and respect, inscrilied:
‘MAMMA PUT MV EYES TO SLEEP/’

Atlanta, Noy. 10,—The Evening Jour

which has this to say in reference to the
Hawaiian question:
“It is announced on good authority

distance from Old Waycross, the .Mur
