Death of a Child.
At about four o’clock last Sat
urday afternoon little Ellis, first
born and only son of Prof, and
Mrs. Geo W, Smith, died at the
home of his parents in Perry.
Up to Friday morning the little
boy was almost a perfect picture
of health, and not until early Sat
urday morning did the parents
think he was critically ill.
In addition to the attendance
of Prs. Holtzolaw and Cater of
Perry, Dr. S. D. Smith,brother of
Prof. Smith, was telephoned for,
but the child was dead when he
readied Perry Saturday afternoon.
Sunday morning the body, ac
companied by the parents and a
number of friends of Perry,, was
carried to Hayneville and there
interred in the family burial lot
of the child’s grand-father, Mr.
Joe Q. Ellis,
Little Ellis was three years old
in January last, a bright and at
tractive boy, the idol of his pa
rents’ hearts, exceedingly preoious
to the sister, 3 T ounger than him
self.
Human sympathy is without
force in meeting such sorrow,
though to Pro#, and Mrs. Smith
and otheb loving relatives, many
friends extend sympathy without
measure.
In the burial service the officia
ting minister, Rev. Albert S. Dix,
offered Divine consolation, re
peating the words of the Saviour:
“Suffer little ohildren to come
unto me and forbid them not," for
of such is the kingdom of Heav-;
en.”

conference in the afternoon. He
made quite a favorable impres
sion on the people here, who were

him to preach elsewhere Sunday.
