REMEMBRANCE Seven years ago the hand. of destiny reached out and snatched from our home our son who was all that meant life and happiness to us. Whose smile was a living beam of joyous light that was ever a harbinger of peace to his} parents and to hundreds of his; friends. From childhood until manhood } he ever carried with him that spirit of good will and brotherly | affection that was always evi- denced by his smile that brought happiness to the hearts of all who knew him. That brightened for those who knew him not, many a moment that would have other- wise been sorrowful, and gained for him the affectionate title ‘of “Smiling Randy.” Though he is gone, and is trav- eling the same inevitable rdad over which all of the human family must eventually pass, his lovable spirit is always with us, and we feel of him still as the same. He is not dead, he is just away. MR. AND MRS. E. H. GRAY. dec30-1t MONROE THEATER Bing Crosby—Louise Campbell —in— STAR MAKER Matinee—Balcony 10c, Or- chestra 15-20c; Night—15-25¢ — THY IT TODAY — J.
