                Death of LittIe Council Wooten.
     Little Council Wooten, the eighteen months old son of Capt. and Mrs. W. E.
Wooten, whose critical illness was reported in yesterday's HERALD, died in
Columbus yesterday morning, after having suffered eleven weeks from teething and
dysentery.
     During his long illness little Coucil had many critical periods, but be 
improved somewhat, about two weeks ago, and his mother took him to Columbus 
with her to visit relatives, thinking the change would prove beneficial. But 
the little fellow grew worse, and last Friday night Capt. Wooten was summoned 
to Columbus, Where he found his child very ill. Death came to relieve the 
little sufferer early yesterday morning.
To the grief-stricken parents and sorrowing relatives, the HERALD joins the 
people of this entire section in extending heartfelt sympathy.

                          THE FUNERAL.

     The remains of Council Wooten arrived in the city last night at 9:15 o'clock 
on the Columbus Southern railroad, accompanied by Capt. and Mrs. Wooten and relatives. 
The remains were carried to the home of the grandfather of the deceased, 
Mr. T. M. Carter, on Jackson street.
     As will be seen from a notice in another column of this mornings paper the
funeral will take place from the residence of Mr. T. M. Carter this morning at 
10 o'clock. Rev. W. W. Walker, of Americus, will officiate.
The following gentlemen have been requested to act as pallbearers:
Messrs. F.O. Ticknor, C. R. Davis, G. B. Flint and Sam Tift.

********************************************************************************
The sympathies of the many friends of Capt. and Mrs .W. F. Wooten go out to them this 
morning in their great bereavement in the death of their baby boy. It is always hard 
to give up the little ones that are bound to us by the strongest ties of Nature, and 
it seems especially sad that this young father and mother should be bereft of their first born.
Only those who have experienced the loss of a child of their own flesh and blood can 
appreciate the crushing weight of the sorrow that lays upon the hearts of these young 
parents today. An abiding faith in the omnipotence and infallibility of Him who doeth 
all things well for those who bear His cross can only reconcile them to their sorrow today, 
while Time alone can give them that relief which the loving hearts of relations and 
friends would offer them now.
