Little Joe, the four and a half
year old son of Mr. and Mrs. L. j
N. Sudderth, of this place, after a
week of the most intense suffering,
died Saturday night at 9 o’clock.
The little fellow had always
been so bright and obedient, and
during bis sickness bore his suf
ferings so patiently that he en
twined his sweet nature around
the hearts of all who visited his
bedside. He was never known to
complain, but would sometimes
say, “Mama, I am so tired,” and
when asked about his condition
would say that he was all right,
and would be well for Easter.
The home into which his brief
life had carried so much joy and
sunshine is now so sad, but the
fond father and motner and two
little brothers have the happy
consolation of knowing that on
yesterday morning little Joe en
tered into an endless Easter Sun

In lar off ancient Venice
’Neath blueat azure skies
Suspended from jail to palace
Is the noted Bridge of Sighs.
So called for in olden times
Prisoners who walked o’er that way
Saw from that small arched bridge
Their last bright glimpse of day.
Saw as they tread on oveh
With footsteps trembling and slow
Future dreams like helpless phantoms
Sink in the waters below.
There are others who are treading
Ever o’er a bridge of Sighs
And the heavens—dark above them
Are without the blue of foreign skies
Their bridge stretches on and ever
O’er dales whose hopes lie dead,
And streams from whose living water
The light of life has fled.
There is ever a bridge for those who
wander,
Who have lost their aim in life,
Who’ve surrendered fondest hopes
Too weary to battle with life
