Obituary.

Earl Liwrnan, eon of W. S. Lowrnan, was born April 4th, 1896; departed this life April 14th 1904, <iged 8 years and 10 days The deceased was sick about two weeks and during the last few days of in's illness suffered very much, and although a child he bore his suffering eo bravely and patiently that be was called “A Model Patient” being ready to do anything his friends or physioiane thought best. He realiz-d his dangerous condition, saying that he was going to die, and knew his friends until the last.

He Jeaveß a father, stepmother, one sister one step-sister and a bust of relatives and friends to monrn his departure, bis own mother having preoeded him to bis heavenly home more than two years ago A public funeral was not allowed as hiß disease was oontapiona. Even those "unoo good” Mon ti cello editors have their troubles sometimes. Thus the Evening Journal of that oity made a disparaging remark or two abont the time kept by their court house dock and George Wigmure, who takes care of the olook made a row with the editor Ed Newton, and the two mixed, in a batcher shop. They were separated before serious damage was done. The remarks made by the Journal about the olook were very mild and more playful than otherwise, and in no way justified Wigmore in making trouble with Mr. Newton about the matter.
