A GOOD Man DIES.
MIR. w. II. MELTON PASSES TO HIS
LONG REST

After a Short Illness. Dawson Loses One
of Her Best Citizens--The Funeral.
The city was shocked when it became
known that Nj. w. r. Melton was dead.
He had been sick for only flew days,
and nobody was prepared for the sad
announcement of his death, which peace
fully occurred at his home in this city
Wednesday evening at o'clock in the
presence of his loved ones and number
of friends. The cause OF Mr.. Melton's
death was pneumonia,
The deceased was member OF the
large mercantile firm of Melton Bros,
and had been a resident of Dawson for
nearly twenty years. He was a native
of Ouitman county, and was born there
forty one years ago. From an early age
he had been member of the Baptist
chu1ch, adjoining his daily work and
conversation with a consistency of char
acter that made him an example for
good to all who came in contact with
him. His indeed was lovely nature.
Quiet and unobtrusive, he won the love
and esteem of all who knew him. He
ALWAYS had kind word for everybody
a trait that stood out boldly in his char
acter and made him universally popular.
AS husband and father he was the
light of his home, radiating his beautiful
influence upon all in that happy circle.
Funeral services were held at the late
residence of the deceased at 3 O'Clock
Thursday aftelnoo conducted by DR..
Pattersoa in a most impressive manner.
DR.. Patterson portrayed feelingly the
sublime beauties and grand future hope
of a christian life full of good deeds and
noble charities, such as that of the de.
ceased friend. After the services the
remains were laid to rest in the city
cemetery in The presence of a large num-
Der of friends.
1t was a perfect afternoon and was
emblematie OF the pure and beautiful
life of which this was the earthly finale.
The sun shown bright and warm, the
breeze was as mellow as spring day and
the birds chirped merrily as they fitted
from bough to bough as if exercised
over the unusual scenes of life in the
qu:et city of the dead.
Mr.. Melton left an aged father. three
brothers, stricken wife and five small
children to mourn his loss. To the be-
reaved ones all hearts are drawn out in
the tenderest sympathy.

What VIII Be the Place of Hayes in
History

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S-The Evening Star
pays this tribute to the ex-President:
That great man died when Rutherford
B. Hayes breathed his last cannot be ques-
toned. He was not brilliant man, but he
was one in whom there were qualities far
more desirable than that ephemeral some
thing which captiyates the thoughtless and
moves the multitude to unmeaning applause.
Underlying every public act Of the eX-Presi-
dent was solid principle, and. so far as the
people were permitted gllmpses into his
home life the same principle seems
to have controlled his private affairs.
Those who pride themselves on being
practical politicians may have but fee
bic commentator for his administra-
ton as chief magistrate, but their
faint praise cannot affect the character. nor
Is it in the power of man to undo the great
good be undoubtedly accomplished.
Thrice elected Governor of Ohio he failed
in no duty that promised TO exalt the COM
monweath that gave him high honors in
return for brainy devotion. As member
OF the House of Representatives he was the
firm friend of all that was honest and true !;
as President of the United States, inaugu-
rated after the most memorable election
struggle in the nations history. he set his
face against all. manner Of wrong aud gave
unfllnehing encouragement TO labOrs Of char
ity and political righteousness. That such a
course should result in superficial unpopu-
larity was to be expected, but time will
bring iustice"
