S. and Eudora Jordan and snatched from their warm embrace the dearest of their heart on earth, their sweet prattling babe, William Wesley. The tender bud was too precious for earth and the Lord gook it and transplanted it in the kingdom of glory, and is now there as a beacon light calling papa and mamma and little brother to the shores of eternal bliss. Little Willie was born February 9, 1890; died August 14, 1891. The remains were carried to the church where a funeral discourse was delivered by Rev. W. W. Watts. We were made to feel that heaven was more precious than ever before. Then we repaired to the grave where the fond parents bade adieu to the loved form for a while, with the blessed assurance of a reunion "in the sweet by-and-by." W. F. MAYNE. LINDALE, TEXAS.
