Mr.. T. J. Moon died very sud-
denly at his hone, two and half
miles north of this place, January
3. He was feeling unwell but had
assisted in loading some cotton to
bring to town, and feeling very
much fatigued by so doing, went
into his house and died in fifteen
minutes, of heart disease. He was
good citizen, a weIl-to-do farmer,
and it is with sincere regret that we
chronicle his sad death. We deeply
sympathize with the bereaved family
and relatives in their affection. His
remains were inferred at the old
family buryiag ground.

Four years ago Cary Cobb, OF
Wilcox county, mashed his thumb
with hammer. It was not consid-
cred serious matter at first, ard
the usual remedies were applied.
The wound did not heal, however,
but grew worse, and finally devel-
oped into what the doctors called
"rose cancer" Last summer Mr..
Cobb came TO Hawkinsville, and
had the thumb amputated. This
did not afford the expected relief !;
but the patient grew worse until
last Sunday evening when he died.
Mr.. Cobb leaves a wife and four
children.
William Bailey, an operator in

in such an awful position, the ma
chinery was stopped as promptly, as
possible. Life was extinct when he
was taken down, The mangled re-

where a distracted wife and young
family awaited them.
