DYE, TOMMIE - Near Marysville, Illinois, on the 19th ult. after a lingering illness, little Tommie, only child of J. C. and Alice Dye, and grandson of Mr. J. M. Dye of this vicinity, aged one year and five months.

Thou gavest and we yield to thee,

Yet not rebuke our tears,

How large a place his presence filled!

How vacant it appears
