For years he had devoted himself untiringly
to his vocation and had risen step by step
until he had come into possession of pros
porous business. In business and social
relations he was ever the same genial, up
right man, whose integrity was unques-
toned. Those who knew him only through
business relations mourn his loss - that OF
an intimate friend. There are peculiarly
cad circumstances in connection with his
death. Not the least of these 10 that .

Mr.. s. I. Weeks called on the JOURNAL,
Tuesday, and made the statement that his
