LOCAL AND PERSONAL.

==============================

Harley Dill, aged nine years, son of John M. Dill and wife, died Saturday morning at 11 o’clock from mem­branous croup. He had taken part in the Christmas entertainment at the Pres­byterian church on the evening of Dec. 25, and played well the part of one of the little elves. Soon afterwards he was taken with a severe attack of croup, which baffled all medical skill. The parents have the sympathy of all in their great bereavement. Funeral ser­vices were held at the home, Monday morning at 10:30 o’clock, conducted by Rev. L. P. Marshall.
