Death has again entered our community and taken from our midst one of the brightest buds, and that too in the saddest form, while the family are under quarantine and friends and relatives debarred from the privilege of giving the hand of sympathy and dropping a tear with the bereaved ones.

Little Ecil was taken ill last Saturday with scarlet fever in the malignant form and lived but five days. Ecil Q. Gifford, son of Charles and Jane Gifford, was born in April, 1903, and was six years and six months old at the time of his death Thursday, at Peru.
