FLORIST IN VICINITY HAS TERRIBLE LOSS. —CHILD BURNED TO DEATH. — CLUI) MEETING. Florence Bissett, the two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Bissett, was burned to death at their home in Garrett Park, on August 2. The fire wliich caused her death occurred at about 12:30 p. m. an'd resulted in the total destruction of their home and greenhouses. Mrs. Bissett, who was ill in bed at the time, is in a precarious con- dition. One of the unfortunate features of the fire was the fact that a large tank of water on the Bissett place was located directly over the kitchen, where the fire started, and was not accessible from the start; had it been possible to get at it the fire could have been checked in the kitchen and the house saved. On August 5 the Florists' Club held its monthly meeting and President J. R. Freeman being absent, \'ice-president George Field took the chair. After rou- tine business was disposed of, Wm. F. Gude read an extract from The New Cen- tury, a local paper of which D. I. Mur- phy is the publisher, giving his views editorially on the use and abuse of flow- ers at funerals. His criticism on this subject was very just and well expressed. George C. Shafler gave full details in connection with the convention at Mil- waukee. A letter of condolence was sent to David Bissett. Wm. F. Gude asked for and obtained a generous voluntary contribution to aid Mr. Bissett in his present difficulties. The annual election of officers was postponed until the Sep- tember meeting.
