Little Edith, the three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Cheney, was quite sick with croup last Sunday. Our m. rchants are receiving a lot of new goods. Now is the tune to plant an advertisement. The people read this paper. Mr. Arden Daniel’s friends will now find liim behind the counters of the Clayton, store where he will be pleased to seve them. Ordinary Monroe was at his post, as usual, Monday morning, and passed upon all business that came before him. He reports a very dull court day. Quite a crowd of young people pio- niced down on old Notcliaway Tuesday. Borne of the boys say that “Brownie” was the queen of the day. Mr. D. E. Mitchiner, accompanied by his son, Mr. W. K.

But we forget how much voice may be, and how little it may anything more. Many a sold has been wrecked or rescued by a voice. When you hear a woman say, “Oh, that sweet?” you will see either a bulldog with a blueribbofi around his neck, a baby with a red face and a white dress on, or a man in a siik hat driving a dog cart.— South Pittsburg Statesman.

Mrs. Paul Duekwall, nee Miss Daisy Cowdry, is dead! She was married about fourteen months ago, and breathed her last at her home in Manatee, Fla., at 10 o’clock Friday night, July S3. In reading the death notice of this little playmate the Writer lealized that one by one the cords of childhood were fast soaping, and soon I will stand alone with no one to say a word about how happy the days were passed in and about our old homes at Blakely. Twenty-two or three years ago little Daisy Cowdry was the pel of our neighborhood—one of the sweetest and most yivacious children ever born. Her parents moved to Florida while we were yet children, and I never met little Daisy again, but never forgot her. Now she is dead—died as many good and true women die, for the sake of becoming a true wife and young mother. May God bless aud protect her young husband and infant.
