~ The epidemic that has
prevailed in this locality for some
weeks seems, if not abating, at
least, to be nOtserousiy worse. If
there are many new eases, we do
not hear of them; and those on
hand are reported to be improving.
What a disease is, we are not ex-

JOHN LANDESS was born in Kentucky,
November 18th, 1899, and died at his resi-
dence in Lincoln county, September 9Th,
1876, aged 76 years 10 months and Il days.
He moved with his father Henry Landess,
to Bedford county, Tennessee, in the year
1903. and from thence to Lincoln county in
the year 1914. He prOfessed hope in
Christ and united with the Primitive Baptist
Church in 1880, of which church he was a
consistent member till his death. On the
| 9Th of April, 1881, he was married to Mary
Stone. who survives him to mourn his loss.
For several years before his death he was
greatly afflicted, which he bore without a
murmnr and with Christian fortitude and
restoration. He commenced life a poor
bow. A taQner by trade, he followed his
business closely and assiduonsly and pros
peritv crowned his efforts. He settled on
the place where he died about the year
1929, and never afterwards moved. He
was blessed with a large family of dutiful
ch lldren, whom he took great pains to edu-
cate and 'train-np in the way they should
60" In the higher and nobler elements
of character, it is no exaggeration to say,
that John Landess was truly great. As a
man, he was intelligent, honest, faithful and
true; as a husband and father, tenderly and
devotedlv affectionate; as friend, warm,
sincere and steadfast; as neighbor, kind,
generous and hospitable; as citizen, en-
terprising, patriotic and useful; as a chris
tian, firm, conscientious and exemplary.
When such man passes away, every
department of society is moved by the
shock. but how bitter is the trial to the
faithful and affectionate family whose ago
MIXING hearts feel how hard ii is to give
him up.
But he rests from his labors, and is freed
from his sufferings. His spirit has gone
| to that reward reserved for those who die
| in the hope of blessed Immortality. Yes,
his MOI tai being is no more, but still he lives
| and will continue 10 live even here in the
light OF a beautiful life and character, so
long as honesty, uprightness, virtue and
true nobility shall be appreciated among
men. Above his grave no truer superscrp-
ton could be engraved than, "Here les
en- honest man, the MODEST ,cork Of GOd.'
