Obituary.

The sudden death of James f..
Sears yesterday was great shock to
the older citizens of Waco who knew
the deceased we'll, many Of them for
two decades or more. He has been
identified with the history of Waco
for thirty years past and in its earlier
history was one of it's leading men,
and first in every work Of enterprise,
whether of virtue, religion, education
or railroad building. J. E. Sears was
a good man. Those who know him
pay him reverence that men pay only
to true worth. Kindly of heart and
liberal of hand, true husband low
ing father, valuable citizen, he is
gathered to his fathers at the end of a
life career of virtue and honor and
will lie received kindly to the bosom
of a mother earth, which is bettered
for his having been born. Singular
ly unostentatious in manners and in
sentiment most modest, of the good
deeds which his right hand did the
left hand knew nothing; his frailties
even leaned to virtues side and the
requiescat in pace has no significance
on his grave stone, for his whole life
was ono of peace and good will to all
men. He rejoins the companionship Of
grand old General Spieght, they the
two landmarks In the history of this
city and both alike distinguished for
their benign influence in those early
days. Hundreds of citizens to-day
mourn the death of this good man
and his memory will ever be green
spot in the history of city.

of guilty and the woman fined five
