From Owner
Thad McKoy is worried no little
just now, the cause thereof being the
loss of a pet alligator, which dis
appeared from his home on Price
Avenue Friday sometime, and dili-

locate the animal. His gatorship
measures three feet—one-half of

ferocious of its kind ever captured,
As an alligator cannot exist on dry
land, it is supppsed it has taken up
his abode either in the swamp in the
section where he escaped or in the
swimming pool on Campbellton street,
At any rate the small boy had better

Thy excellent meeting which has

The singing of the city choirs who

fine and enjoyed by all. Evangelist

will hail his return here at any time
with delight. The baptising will be

A pall of sadness hangs over our
entire city owing to the above an
nouncement, which means that one of
our cleverest and best boys has gone
to that bowne from which no traveler
ee’r returns—the City Celestial—
where partings or heartaches are un
known. “Come unto me all ye that
are weak and heavy laden and I will
give you rest,” saith the Master, and
Charlie Huey answered the command
without flench or tremble—noble boy
that he was.
Mr. Huey was a long sufferer from
the great White Plague, which was
gradually snapping his life chord, but
never a murmur did he emit, but bora
his suffering until the end. Mr. Huey
is survived by his parents, Mr. atid
Mrs. Joe Huey, three brothers, Bob,
Lee and Frank, and three sisters.
The funeral occurred at County
Ling Saturday, conducted by Revs,

remains were interred with Masonic
