——Obituary
On last Saturday the sad
news arrived here of the death
of “Grand pa” Patterson, who
was at Memphis being treated.
The remains were brought home
Saturday night and laid to sleep
in the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery on
Sunday afternoon Feb. 2nd 1903.
The funeral services were con
ducted by Rev. P. E. Taylor in
the presence of a large concourse
of sorrowing friends and rela
tives.
Death is a sting that raises the
curtain of another world and lov
ed ones beckon us on to the hav
en of enternal rest, where sor
row and death never come.
Let us be prepared to meel
them.
The entire comnfUnity tenders
its condolence to the bereaved re
latives.

Green Holy in our midst
Mrs. Bill Bowers has been on
the sick-list for a few days, but
is now convalescent.
Mr. Eaverts, the Stave Man
was in town last week He return
ed to his home in Forrest City
last Saturday.
While two colored men were
hunting south west of Colona,
they found the remains of it wo
baby boys wrapped in old cloth.
The colored population is some
what wrought up over the matter
and an immediate investigation
will be instituted.
The following named young
people of our town attended the
Grand Ball at Cotton Plant last
Thursday night. Misses Willie
and Emma Warr; Dr. R. Q. Pat
terson, J. D. Robertson and Ken
lock Tiller. The young ladies
rode down on the passenger,
while the gallant Sir Knights
rode the lightning express,
‘whose only means of navigation
was the perpetual motion of the
human anatomy, often observed
as a hand-car passes by. The
young Sir Launcelots enjoyed
the knightly trip. Many and
varied were the experiences of
that nocturnal visit to the city of
Planting Cotton.
On last Wednesday evening as
the sun drew his robes of scarlet
and purple about him, there'was
seen a lonely Crittenden sitting
on the wood-pile before his gate.
It could be seen that trouble was
on his brow. A lady stepped to
the door and the appearance of
James changed so mysteriously
from that of trouble to happiness.
We became curious to know
what the lady had told him to
change him so, thinking perhaps
ours might be likewise banish
ed. So we walked to the house
andjfound God had sent a sweet
little girl to James Crittenden’s
home and all are doing well.
James has been chopping wood
every since.
George Merrill, of Wiville, was
in town Monday.
Walter Robertson, of Wiville
