B. and Mrs. Dixie Urban, was born July 27, 1898, and died April 5, 1900. Little Dixie was here only a short time, but she had her share of suffering. We nursed her through fifty-two days of suffering last spring, thinking for two weeks each day would be her last. She was spared through spring, but was left a cripple. Then she suffered three weeks this spring. When the doctor announced he could do no more, we knew Dixie was dead. She had just learned to talk, and was so much company in the home. She will be missed by us all so much. Everybody loved her. That voice is hushed there. Courage, parents, brothers and sisters; Dixie will be watching and waiting for you. May you be as ready as was she when the summons came. JULIA ANSLEY. Bullard, Texas.
