C. and S. W. Horton, was born December 21, 1898, and was called home May 19, 1899. He was the pet of the home and was a bright, promising, sweet child; but he is gone from us now. His little voice is hushed in death; his little toys lie about the room untouched. Oh, how sad we are! But stop, papa and mamma, listen! By faith, don't you hear little Roy's sweet voice with that heavenly choir? He is singing still; he is happy. What shall we do? We will go and meet him. Brother and sister, he loves you, too. Will you go? Yes, thank God, we can all meet him in heaven. Look up, then, and thank the good Lord for a home where we can all meet again. S. N. ALLEN, P. C.
