FLORENCE, the little five-year-old daughter of MR. and MRS. M.F. GRIMES, died shortly before noon Tuesday after an illness of several weeks, the cause of her death being typhoid fever. The funeral services were held from the family home yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. R.W. Caster and the little body was quietly laid to rest in the Leon Cemetery.

MR. and MRS. GRIMES have the sympathy of all our citizens in their bereavement, which is made doubly sad by reason that the death of little FLORENCE occurred on the seventh anniversary of the death of their other child.
