Death of one of oar Best Citizen,


Afr John n Beatty, one OF our best
known and most respected citizens,
died about 9o'clock on Monday night
last, or gall stone, After returning
home from prayer-meeting last We'd
nesday night, he retired, feeling as well
as usual, but during the night he
awoke with severe pain in his side
de did not arouse the family, but the
following morning the pain became
80 excruciating that his physician was
summoned. DIR Crawford soon saw,
from his symptoms, what the ailme mt
was, and feared the worst. On Satur-
day afternoon, Mr. Beatty, feeling that
death was inevitable, called his sons
Messrs w O., and r II Beatty, to his
bedside. and after telling them what
disposition to make Of his business
affairs, told them that he could not
get well, and said Il am willing and
prepared to die. I have only been
waiting Gods time for the summons
since your mother was taken.n These
were the last words he ever spoke.
he continued to grow weaker day by
day and at 8 o'clock Monday night the
spirit OF the good man, neighbor
and citizen was borne to the home of
the blessed.
Mr. John M Beatty was born in Fair
held District, October Sth 1924. He

Academy at this place. and moved
here where he has lived ever since.
After the war he engaged inthe mercan
tile business, and the firm Of Twitty d.
beaty was at one time the largest msr-
camille establishment Of ssr town. In
1878 he was elected to the Legislature
and served two years. He made one
ofthe best representatives the County
has ever had.
Mr. Beatty was an honest. upright,
true christian gentleman, and his loss
to this community, and especially to
MS church, will be sorely felt He
was member o: the Presby terlau
church. having joined it when a
young man, about so years ago. He
has been An Elder in the Church at
this place for about l5 years
He was married Feb. IL, 1857 to Miss
