BURNED TO DEATH

In our last issue we welcomed to our midst Mr. N.C. Greer of Pearson, Ga.  In 
this, we perform a sadder duty, that of sympathizing with the stricken heart.  
For ere last Saturdays paper reached many of its readers, that fond father was 
called on to mourn the loss of his dear Bertha, a bright lovely child of eight 
years.  It seems that Bertha and her sister Belle, who were still in Pearson, 
were spending the night with a married sister, Mrs. Kirkland.  During the 
night the house took fire and was destroyed.  By the heroic effort on the part 
of young McDonald, Belle was saved but little Bertha was consumed in the 
flames. So much of her body was rescued from the ashes was brought to our city 
on Monday for interment.  May a merciful Father turn this affliction into a 
rich blessing.
