We are pained again to note the death of two more bright and interesting little girls, both daughters of Mr. and Mrs. John Anderson. The oldest was about six years old and the youngest about four. The burial of May Belle was about noon Sunday, and less than two hours after they returned from the cemetery Etta was a corpse and now their youngest and only child is fast failing and soon the fond parents will have to see it consigned to the tomb - all by that dread disease, diphtheria. Truly the grief of the parents must be great and in order to find consolation through such deep afflictions they can only look to Him who doeth all things well.
