We are sorry to hear of the death of Mr..
f.. Evans at his home In Cuba, Mo-, one
day last week. The deceased was brother
of Geo. S. Evans, Esq, of Arcadia, and was
prominently known all through the South
east. Although he has been in poor health
fo- some wears past Mr.. E.'s friends had no
idea that so sudden 4 termination of his
mortal career was at hand. Mr.. E. had but
lately been appointed postmaster at Cuba
and was on the eve of taking charge OF the |
office when the end came and placed him
beyond all earthly woes. To the bereaved |
family we offer coincidence and heartfelt
sympathy.
