A very sad death occurred in this
town last Monday, young man came
here about three weeks ago represen-
ting the Chicago Portrait Company,
and obtained board with Mrs. S. a.
Nelson. His name was NJ. NJ. White
head. He came here complaining and
he gradually grew worse, until he was
stricken down with malady-menln-
gifts, which deprived him Of his rea-
son, and made him a pitiful object.
Mrs. Nelson and those who live with
her did all in their power for the
stranger. Rev. P. B. Wells and DR..
Charles B. Geiger visited him
regularly, and when it was dis
covered that his illness was likely to
prove fatal, the mails and telegraph
wires were used to find his people that
they might learn his condition. When
at last his folks were found in Ashford,
Alabama, it was learned that he had
an aged father who could not come on.
When the young man died, the lnfor-
nation was wired, and instructions
came to ship the body which was done.
