He was born in Lawrence county, Miss, Oct. 25th, 1851, and was married to Margaret Mariah Neal on the 25th of December, 1872. Was baptized into the fellowship of Hebron church by Eld J. A. Scarborough in July, 1877. In later years he became a member of Silver Creek church, in whose fellowship he closed his earthly labors. The wife, a son and daughter, Virgin and Annie, share alike the bereavement, whom join many Christians, relatives, neighbors, and friends in profound sympathy. In every direction the expression is, "we miss him so much." He began life wholly dependent upon his own resources and also under the disadvantage of bed health; yet his success well assures the welfare of those he leaves, whom may the Great Shepherd lead gently. R. W. Hall. SILVER CREEK DOTS The recent cold weather will make fruit scarce again this year. Dr. O. M. Armstrong paid our town a short call yesterday eve.
