Just at the dawn of day on October 30, the spirit of little Aleen Mildred, youngestchild of Mr. and Mrs. William Watson, of near Fairview church in An. derson county, burst the prison bars of life and flew away to the Heavenly Mansions to d well forever with her Lord. Aleen was a swoot, beautiful little child and the idol of her homo. Just before she died she said to her mother, "Mama, I am cold" Then she said, "Mania, I am going away," and her little spirit went away. The funeral was held at Fairview churcl on 31st, of October by Rev. I). W. liott, and amid tears and sobs we laid her little body away to rest. till the morning of the res urection. Little Aleen was two years old in July last. She was too pure for earth and God our Father called her homo.
