The hall, the parlor and the dining room, "all garnished and sweet," m.de a pretty picture with its deco rations of cut dowers.

On Wednesday morning of August 10th, 1921, -just at 8:00 o'clock, the death angel visited and called for its victim, little Norman, the five-year, old son of Mr. and Mrs. T.. A. Stew art, of Crow Creek section. Little Norman was only sick just a few. days, his suffering was intense for the last few hours of his life, but just before the end came he was per fectly quiet and calm and he called for his little sisters, brothers and also his loving mother to the bed side and sweetly told them he must go over yonder. He said it was a beautiful place over there, then he passed away quietly in that peace. ful sleep from which none ever wake to weep. Little Norman was a manly little fellow and seemed to b the light of the home. I-fe was loved and ad mired by all who knew him, but God loved him best, and he is gathering bu'ts every day.- and he had a place, > beautiful place for little Norman. hx ione t lith with God and all m d : little' playmates ) ' ) hint t) pi tY no Ull isted at the hiome. by R.'v .

So sad to 1 say, but true, some young people (so called) will be so wicked as to do such a thing. And I feel like it would only be doing them justice if they were punished for this offence. Now, if it were the first time, I could say, as did one of our judges once, "Young men, I give you the second chance," and let them go, unless a worse thing came upon them. Say, I am speaking out of my own ex perience, because I reproved them last year in a meeting at Gap Hill church, and spoke of having them brought in by the rains of justice, a and I have heard of late that our good sheriff, Mr. Roark, went to see some of them. Say, Mr. Sheriff, I would be glad if you would go over to Six Mile and look into this matter for the Methodist preacher, because on the night of July 31st they .broke h out one of the Ford's eyes and pull- t d out the other, anti last night they l broke off the arm of one of the doors and had taken off th .rin xhe el, v t 'o i out the key: w : r>:si i ) it ')n the '10 1,oor " . t 1., t. .l w Ii help u0 in. j.. .- uI' .-.rvices whtih witll g-in - nmy brother law-'3abiding eiu,.'q.
