be panied to learn of his death which
occurred at the home of his parents
in Wilson last Sunday. And yet it
will not occasion surprise to those
who saw him when he was here last.
DR.. Best came to Henderson last
fall and located for the purpose of
practicing his profession. He had
but short while before graduated
with distinction from a leading medi-
Cd college and had scarcely entered

one of success and usefulness when
he was stricken with consumption.
Realizing his condition DR.. Best
closed up his affairs here with the
intention of going to Colorado in
hopes Of receiving benefit from the
change of climate. But this purpose
was not carried out. Returning
home to Wilson he gradually grew
worse until the end came as above
stated.

sad. He was a young man of bril-
liant promise, endowed with a

equipped in his chosen profession
a profession to which he was thor

honor and usefulness in it. Although

store for him. AS a correspondent
of the Raleigh Post says: '.He was
genial, energetic, enthusiastic in his
profession, and beloved by his asso-
ciates. His death is a loss to the
profession of his choice, as well as to
his relatives and associates
