Sell in Franklin Dead Our hearts were saddened last Sunday night, December, the sev enteenth, at eight o'clock, when the Death Angel entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Cottrell, and took from them, their dar ling baby boy, Elliott Alexander. Hla short little life, of just two months, was so sweet, and full of good cheer, that It seems but yesterday he was here. We know that a mother's arms feel so emp ty when her baby Is not there, but why should we weep and mourn, when we know that lit tle Alexander, has gone from his suffering here, to those bright mansions above. Everything was done for him, that possibly could be done, but God knew best, and choose to take him home to Him. The burial service, conducted by Rev. E. H. Davis, Monday, December the eighteenth, at two thirty, was largely attended, and the floral offering was beautiful. The deepest sympathy of their many friends, goes out to the be reaved father, mother, grand-pa rents, and other relatives.
