Died.
Little infant daughter of George and Lizzie Baker departed from this earth Oct. 3. 1892. We sympathize with the bereaved parents for 'tis hard to yield these treasurers back; yet we rejoice for the babe, knowing that all is well with her for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.
Why should death take one so gentle,
God made his flowers to be culled.
We should not sigh—we should not murmur.
When he in his wisdom one has pulled.
He sent his reapers forth to gather,
Ere the wintry winds aid chill,
And lo! they spied on drooping lily.
And but, oh heaven, do thy will.
They took her from us though we pleaded,
We should have yielded more resigned.
But its hard to part with one's that's dearest.
Bound whom our hearts were so entwined.
So in the chilling winds of Autumn,
She was pined away to be taken,
From the dewy morns of sorrow.
To where virtue bloom in golden hue.
There they'll wreath her into a garland.
Wrought only by virtues bright
To strew along the golden gatherings
Bound the shrine of Heaven's light.
Why should we grieve to lose her then.
When we know that she's gone to rest,
On the bosom of her redeemer's love.
Among the blessed and the blest.

IN MEMORIAM.
BAKER—George Ola Baker, little daughter of G. E. and Lizzie Baker, died on the evening of Oct. 3, 1892. She was 7 months and 13 days old. Little Ola had been sick for several weeks, and although loving hearts and willins hands ministered to her, yet the death angel claimed her as his own. An able discourse was delivered by Rev. L. S. Hale, after which the remains were laid away in the Gilchrist cemetery, there to await the resurrection.
There's a pair of little hands
Laid to rest forevermore;
There's two pearly, dimpled cheeks
Whose rich blossoning is o'er.
Death has scaled tow little eyes
That will no more smile or weep,
Tiny windows of the soul—
Little Ola's gone to sleep.
She will wake in fairer lands
Where the angel voices sing;
There the flower will expand,
There shall love perfection bring.
She has reached the golden shore,
Through the river, cold and deep;
Angels bore her safelt there—
Little Ola's gone to sleep.

Died.
Little Ola daughter of George and Lizzie Baker, departed this life Oct., 3rd, 1892., age 7 mo. 2wks and 3 days. Her sufferings were intense yet she bore them with great patience.
An Angel in the book of life
Wrote down our infant's birth,
And added ere he closed the page
Too beautiful for earth.
And when the reaper, Death passed by
He read the words and smiled;
And folded in his icy arms
That lonely little child.
Yes she is in the Heavenly kingdom
Free from every earthly care.
While the dear ones left behind her
Have their earthly griefs to bear.
Farwell Ola, sad the parting
With the dear ones that we love
But we hope to meet you Ola,
Up in heaven, just above.
A Friend.
