low with pneumonia Mt this writing.
Deceased had been a member Of the
Lutheran church for n great many
years. lie was firm follower of
righteousness and a strong Deliver in
the Christian religion. His testimony
shortly before life with him had ceased
was a strong evidence of this fact He
was a man of general knowledge and
was sought upon many occasions for
advice. Such man is greatly missed;
but what is the loss of earth in such
cases is the gain of heaven. Funeral
services were held in the Methodist
church at Pisgah, conducted by his
pastor, Rev. w. II. Berry, assisted by
Rev. G. E. Feather, after which the re.
mains were laid TO rest in the cemetery

nearly the entire season and caused the
loss of considerable business and revenue
to the company which, under proper nor

"These difficulties, together with the large
amount of money which the company was
called upon to pay in the way of back

improvements to the property which were

come from earnings.

exercising the most rigid economy consist
