Branch, where once stood the residenc,
OF her father, Reuben station. Though
there are no remains of the old family
residence standing and all around ha,
grown up 10 briers aud looks drear, YET

The untimely death of Jesse Royal
ty was a shock to the whole community
He was 3S years old, had many friends
was a man Of foe business qualities and
his loss will be severely felt in this sec
ton. Your correspondent was absent al
the time, but has learned the following
particulars OF bis death: Last FRIDAY
evening he was attending to business at
the store and post-office as usual. AT
night he attended preaching at the
Christian church, after which he return
ed to Whips store and bought a
email bill OF goods from Mr.. Sparks, the
drummer. He was last seen by Mr.
John +. McBeath about 10 o'clock. Moth
ing more was seen Of him until about
$50 A. NJ. on Saturday, when Mr.. Whip
on going to his store found him lying ap
psrently in calm repose on his side with
his arm under his head on the floor Of
the porch in the rear OF the store.room.
Mr.. Whip endeavored TO arouse him,
but finding that he showed no signs Of
life, physicians were summoned aud it
was found that the vital spark had fled.
As no post-morten examination was
made il could not be determined the ex-
act cause Of his death. He had suffered
for some time with a severe stomach
trouble and told DR.. McRoberts few
days before that he believed that his
stomach would kill him. II is probable
that a sudden heart failure connected
with his disease was the immediate cause
OF his death. Many sorrowing friends
and relatives attended his burial on Sun.
day morning. His remains was first
taken to the Christian church, where flu
neral services were conducted by Elder
j. q. Montgomery. after which his body
was taken to the cemetery where the last
sad rites were performed.
