Obituary.

Ruth Elizabeth, youngest child of Prof. Geo. D. GABLE and wife, died of consumption at their home in this city Sabbath night at 10:30, aged one year, one month and thirteen days. Twice inside of two years have these parents been called, in the providence of God, to part with a loved one. The sympathy of all goes out to them in their sorrow.

The funeral services will be at two o'clock this afternoon, conducted by Dr. Magill.

Death of Little Ruth Elizabeth GABLE.

The sympathy of the entire community goes out to Prof. and Mrs. G. D. GABLE, who mourn the death of their little daughter, Ruth Elizabeth, on last Sunday night. It has been less than two years since the death of their son Rex, and the loss of their baby girl comes as a double blow to the sorrowing parents. The little one had not been well for the past three months, but no serious alarm was entertained until recently when the attending physician pronounced the disease acute tuberculosis.

Little Ruth was thirteen months old and a bright and promising child. The burial took place Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock.
