And you. sweet summer's gentle breeze, What gifts of yours do Children please? The joyous holiday time I bring, The many pleasures of field and shore. Long - , sunny days at their feet I fling. These are my gifts. Can you ask for more? Oh. howling winds of autumn drear. What are your joys for children dear? I bring down nuts from brilliant trees, And ripe fruits drop beneath my spell. 1 brighten their hearts with gifts like those. No other wind they love so well. And now, sharp wind of winter cold. What joys are yours? Can they be told? I sweep with a wail over barren fields, Best loved of all the winds that blow.

Rogers and claimed as Its reward little Allison, aged one year and five months. His stay on earth was short but of sufficient length for his parents hearts to be entwined about him. He suffered for three long weeks and we should be thankful that the little one is at rest where he will never know no pain or sorrow. Of course father and mother will miss their little darling but they should mourn not as those who have no hopes for we know little Allison is safe in the arms ol Jesus. Oh how lonely the home will seem to father and mother without their precious baby, but they should prepare to meet their little da ling in the brighter world .above where there shall be no more sep arations. It is so hard to give up our dear ones to look at them our last time in this world but we should think that God knows best and should be thankful to know bhat we can meet them again. Funeral services were conducted at the home by Rev. R. 1\ Ram sey after which he was laid to rest in the Payne Cemetery-. Aunt Matt. In Memory of Tommie Higdon. The death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Hig don, on April 21st, 1908, and took from them their little son Tommie aged five years and one month. Tommie was stricken on the night of the sth with surebro Menigitis and after two weeks and two days of suffering he passed away to the great beyond where there is no pain nor death. There he is wait ing for us freed from all sorrows and that in due time we shall see him again. Through Gods grace we know that he is only trans planted to his loving Fathers home. Tommie was a bright vig orous boy and unGi his ast i - had always been the picture of health, but all that loving pa rents and friends and the best medical aid could do was unavail able. AY Idle his sudden death leaves a vacancy in our home that never can be filled. The bereaved family desms to extend their thanks to the many friends who by their kindness and sympathy have endeavored to lighten their sorrows in the time of their trouble. A precious one from us is gone a voice we loved is still a place is vacant in our home that never can be filled. A Friend. Commissioner Bible Busy. County School Commissioner, G. A, 1!.
