Death visited in the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Finis Stephenson
Oct. 3d, 1904, and taken from
them their little daughter Belva,
aged 18 ms and 28 days. After 9
days of intense suffering the
pure innocent babe passed into a
brighter home to await her pa-
rents, relatives and friends.
'Tis sad, dear parents bowed and
stricken.
To lose a loved and priceless gem;
To have death pluck your fairest
flower,
And leave you but the broken
stem.
Your darling one lies cold and
lifeless,
But free from earthly pain;
God has taken your dearest
treasure, -
To sweetly bloom in heaven's
plain.
Folded are the little fingers;
Closed the sweet and loving eyes;
God transplanted little Belva,
Now she blooms in Paradise.
A Friend.

nell, of Hughes, coming in from
Hartford, Ark., on the west

the car wheel. He was loaded
with Arkansas "booze."
obituary.
Little William Edgar Garner,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Garner, died
on Friday, Sept. 30, with pneu-
monia, leaving a broken hearted
mother and father, brothers and
sister to mourn his early demise.
He was a dear, sweet child to
them all, aod they loved him
dearly, and they can never for-
get him. Little Edgar is at rest
with God in heaven, and some
day we aim to meet him to part
no more. Father and Mother.

Whereas, Our Father, in his
wisdom, has seen fit to visit the
home of our beloved brother, W.
L. Garner, and taken from that
home one of the most precious
and loved ones; but my brother,
be brave, for he doeth all things
well, and what to our dim eyes
may seem lost, is to him who
gave it a gain.
Resolved, That this Alex Haas
Lodge No. 69, Knights of Pythi-
as, tender our brother our heart-
felt sympathy, and that a copy
of these resolutions be spread up-
on our minutes and a copy of
same furnished our home paper.
Ben Little, G. B. Logan and
Guss Karr, Com.
Mr. Eichenberger had business
at Ft. Smith Saturday.
Messrs. Harris and McDonald
in the spring went security for a
man named C. L. Chapman, so
that he could borrow $150 from
the bank at Poteau, which he se-
cured, and mortgaged to them
his crop, wagon and two horses
for the repayment of the debt.
A few weeks back Chapman
packed up and departed with his
family, consisting of wife and 3
children, and left his trusted
friends to foot the debt. Mr.
Harris was sick, but he rallied
and went in pursuit, determined
to recover the mortgaged prop-
erty arid enforce the law against
the man, and after a long jour-
ney, come up with them in the
western part of the Chickasaw
Nation. Realizing the hardship
that would befall the wife and
children to prosecute the man,
his heart softened and he secur-
ed only the two ponies and re-
turned, without entering prose-
cution.
The post office inspector was
here Monday and reported the
Wister post office O. K.
