DORTON community news DIED. On the 4th inst after a very short illness Little Edwin, the 10-months-old daughter, of Mr. and Mrs. Hale Rich, her death was so unexpected to everyone as she was sick only a short time, but God seen fit to call the little one home which he did so without long suffering while it is hard to give her up and she will be missed so much still we must remember, she is sleeping in Jesus arms, who loves little children and has prepared a bright and beautiful home for all that, when done with this life we may meet our loved ones around that great white throne, never to part any more.
The bereaved father and mother have the sympathy of the entire community. The little body was laid to rest in the Crossville Cemetery Friday.
CARD OF THANKS. To those who have been with us in the loss of our little child, and who, by kind words and kindly acts have tried to lessen our sorrow, we extend our most sincere and heartfelt thanks. Mr. and Mrs. Hale Rich, Dorton, TN.
HALEY’S COMET. By a few minutes observation of Haley’s Comet Thursday morning we relieved our mind of the greater part of the fear engendered by reading the accounts of the dire results which might happen as depicted in various periodicals.
The fact that it will be 14,3000,000 miles away on May 18th, and that the “tail” thereof contains no poisonous gases is also a source of no small degree of satisfaction. We are content to leave our destiny in the hands of the Master mind of the Universe fully believing that “the laws of nature are the thoughts of God,” and that the time has not yet come when life on this planet shall cease to be.
