Litt/e Emery Pittman.
On the evening of August 14, 1913,
at fifteen minutes until eleven o’clock,
the death angel came and took from us
one of the brightest jewels of our home
and one that felt so near and dear to ;
our heart, and bore it away to the home
above and left broken hearts to mourn i
our precious little Emery’s departure, i
although we know he is waiting and
beckoning father, mother, little sisters
and brothers to come home, where we
will part no more, in that beautiful
city of gold, where there shell be no j
darkness, but one bright eternal day.!
Although we can not help but miss ■
our little darling so much, as he bad |
been with us for three years and nearly ]
seven months. Now the chatter of that :
little voice that we all loved to hear is
silent, and in our home the place is ■
vacant that never can be filled again. '
but we hope to meet our darling, where,
those vacant places are never found. ■
For our dear Saviour consoles us by
saying: 'Suffer little children to come ]
unto me, and forb’d them not, for of I
such is the kingdom of heaven.”.
Although we are resigned to His will
that giveth and taketh, but in our
memory through this life little Emery j
will always linger. By His Mo l her. ]

strong banking connection. You may want to bor

WALL OF BANK J
BUILDING CAVED IN;
1 I
Tuesday afternoon, while at work on ■
the walls of the second story of the l
new bank builbing, which would havei
been completed in a few days, the,
heavy load of brick and fhortar that |
was being used, caused some timbers
to turn, throwing a heavy weight
against the wall, tearing off the brick
on almost one half of.the wall on one
side of the second story. Foreman, .
masons, carpenters and helpers were;
thrown to the ground, the load of brick
and lumber falling in on them. Mr.
Mundy, the foreman sustained several
scratches and a general shakeup, while;
one of the darkies was caught under]
| some timber mid it was with some dis-1
l Acuity that he was pulled out. It is
I not thought that his injuries are very
| serious. Another darky was struck by
। a piece of timber when falling and tore
| a piece out of his chin. The others
] got off with a considerable fright.
; That they were not all mangled beneath
the tons of brick and timber is only a
[ little short of a miracle. Work; was
i soon resumed, however, and the dam
j age repaired. The brick work wil
! likely be completed this week.
Rogers Uses Knife
With Fierce Stroke.
Niece White, a son of Mr. Rowan
| White of this place, is confined at the
I home of his father, suffering from
] knife wounds inflicted by Wilber
I Rogers, a young white man, near Mr.
; White’s home in the Landsburg district,
I last Friday, Mr. White received some
; very painful gashes, though not neces
j sarily fatal.
It is said that the difficulty between ]
! these parties arose over some cotton ;
। pickers that Mr. Rogers had employed]
: and that Mr, White raised the price in I
order to get them to pica cotton for
] him. They met Friday and the row
] arose, resulting in the slabbing of
White. Rogers was arrested and gaye
bond.
THE finBHESS PRACTICE
OF FREIGHT TRAINS.I
If we have not, we should have, an |
ordinance regulating the practice of;
freight trains blocading the street
crossings. We realize that the time it
would take for them to uncouple and
clear the crossing is valuable time to
the road, but when the public is forced
to stand and wait on a freight train to
unload its freight, taking from ten to
twenty five minutes, or walk around,
sometime a hundred yards or more,
their feelings are to be valued. On one
occasion, in mind, we are confident
• that the main crossing, near depot, was
| impassable for at least'twenty minutes
'and pedestrians were compelled to wail
] until the train moved or walk around,
i The authorities can observe for them
selves and understand the conditions
better.

a short illness. She is survived by

church, in the presence of a large con- ]
course of sorrowing relatives and
frienus.
