Paul Thompson Honan.

Death does not stop to select its Howers, but plucks them wherever it lays its icy grasp. Paul Thompson Honan, the only child of E. P. and Madge Honan, after a short illness died on last Friday morning at 4:30 o'clock, aged nine years and tweu ty- one day s. The circumstances connected with his death are very sad, indeed. About a week before his death, while playing with some of his boy friends, he was accidentally struck on the ankle by a bullet from a sling-shot in the hands of one of bis associates. Little notice was taken of this at first, but later developments showed indications of blood poisoning. He continued to grow worse until finally relieved by death on Friday morning, at the hour mentioned above.

Paul was an unusually bright boy and was known to almost everybody in this vicinity. His friends were many and great was their sorrow when tlrny learned of little Paul’s death. The funeral occuri,odot the M. 11. church last. Sunday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. Dr. Utler. After the service, the remains were conveyed to Weston cemetery and laid to rest.

If dull, spiritless and stupid; If your blood is thick and sluggish; If your appetite is capricious and uncertain. You need a Sarsaparilla. For best results take DeWitt’s. It recommends itself. A. F.
