     At Scott, Saturday, March 17, at the residence of his aunt, Little 
James Calder, age 7 years.  James was a good and kind boy, and was loved by 
all who knew him.  Although of very delicate health, he was a diligent child 
at school.  His teacher and school comrades loved him and every heart at 
Scott morns his loss.  During illness, he often called those whom he knew and 
especially his kind teacher.  The last word that fell from his dying lips, 
is indeed that of an angel. “Amen”, said he and his young soul took flight 
to heaven.  His remains were taken, Sunday morning to New Orleans for 
internment.  Good by Jimy.  Your little seat is here vacant and your 
companions will miss you, but you will find an other seat and other companions 
that God has promised to those that love him. 
                       School friend.
