LAPGE CROWD AT FUNERAL. Our entire community was deep ly moved Tuesday morning upon learning of the tragic death of little Hazel Louise, infant daughter of Mr. E. H. Liverman. The child was the adopted daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. M. G Darden, who took her at the time of the death of her mother which occured in February, 1925, v. hile only seven months of age. At the time of the accident she was one year eleven months and eighteen days of age, About eight o'clock Tuesday morning Mr. Darden borrowed his brother's new Ford coupe for the purpose of taking the little tot for a ride, and after backing out into the street he proceeded down Fourth street toward Jefferson. The child was, as we are informed, standing upon the seat thoroughly enjoying herself, and Mr. Darden, fearing that she might fall put the window, undertook to seat her be side him, and in so doing he lost control of the car which leaped over the curb striking an obsolete telephone pole; causing the car to turn over on its side. Little Hazel was pinned beneath the door, the life being crushed out of her it * stantly. Mr. Darden was not in jured in the least. Spectators hur riedly removed her from the wreck while Mr. Darden made his exit through the driver's door. The father of the child, who is a traveling salesman for an Elizabeth City concern, was near Colcrain at the time of the unfortunate acci dent, and was reachad by telephone. He arrived here about noon. The foster parents of the little child had become deeply attached to her, and are almost prostrated with grief. The attentions and love they bestowed upon her could not have been exceeded had she have been their actual child. The father and six brothers and sisters are bowed in grief by the tragic death of the baby. She was a general favorite all over the town, and seme months ago she was awarded first prize in a baby con test held in the high school audi torium. The funeral, which was attended by a vast crowd, was held at the home of her adoption, and the ser vice was conducted by Rev. W. J. Eh Burrus, pastor of the Christian church, assisted by ministers of all the other churches here. The in terment was made in Windley cemetery, a short distance from here. As an attest to the"genuine sym pathy and high esteem for all con cerned the floral tributes were among the greatest ever seen here, Miller Opens Tomorrow Miller, Inc , are ready for their opening here which wi 1 be held tomorrow. A general write-up of this new business appeared in our issue of last week. Your at tention is invited to ad which appears on our back page. A noteworthy improvement which is being made to the build ing now occupied by them is the painting of the entire front in an imposing white. Messrs.
