0BITU VARY.

6, 1876, and died September 1,
1900. The announcement of
Guys death cast a gloom over
the town in which he had been
raised, and brought great sorrow
to the hearts Of his many friends.
For a long time it was generally
known that lie could never re-
cover from the dreadful disease
that had fastened itself upon
him, but still his family and
friends were not willing to give
him up, We cannot understand
why he should be cut down in
the very prime of life, but still
we submit to the mysterious
workings of the gracious plans
of God.
When Guy fell a victim to
consumption be was just begin
ming work in his chosen. profess
sion and bright prospects were
before him. In 1897 he was ap-
pointed Court Stenographer for
the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit by
Judge j. B. McCaleb. He filled
this position very acceptably for
two years.
He was licensed to practice
law at the January term of the
Sharp county circuit court in
1899, and went to Pocahontas in
February, where he formed a
partnership with Hon. s. A. D.
Eaton and began his work as a
lawyer. But he was compelled
to return home April 30, 1899, on
account of sickness, and he was
never we'll again. At the advice
of his physician he went to south
west Texas in September last
and remained there until he saw
no hope of improvement and re-
turned home June 5, 1900. He
said that he wanted to come home
to die. Skilled physicians at.
tended him, loving hands minis
tered to his comfort, kind friends
watched with him, but all did
not avail to keep Guy with us.
Guy had many friends. Every.
where he went he made friends,
He was almost the idol of his
own family. Father, mother,
brothers and sisters all loved
him, clung to him and served
him, Oh! how we loved him.
He was affectionate. He loved
tenderly and well his relatives.
He was true to his friends. He
was an honorable man. No one
questioned his integrity. He
had a high regard for noble
character, he despised hypocrisy
and cant.
He was converted and joined
the Methodist Episcopal Church
South in July 1886. Coming
under the influence Of skeptical
teachers his faith was shaken for
a time, but he returned from the
husks and found peace in be-
lieving on the Lord Jesus Christ.
He talked clearly and intelligent
ly about his spiritual condition
and pleaded with his friends to
be true christians. Guy is safe.
He has entered into rest. He re-
allies the "Sweet peace, the gift
of Gods love-" We believe that
the "Lord gave and the Lord
hath taken away" and we say:
"Blessed be the name Of the
Lord" We weep not as those
without hope. May God help US
all to live so we may join Guy in
! Heavenlv mansions,
