which are familiar to mankind.
Like a vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every

Death OF n. 7. Buchanan.

The community was greatly shocked
and grieved on Wednesday to hear that
Harold Buchanan was dead. He had
been sick for some time with pneumo-
MIA, but not until the past few days
was his condition regarded as serious
Despite the best medical skill and
nursing he passed away about two
o'clock p. m. Wednesday. The burial
took place on yesterday in the presence
of large concourse OF friends and rel
atives among whom he was born and
reared. Mr.. Buchanan was 80 years
old, and had lived in Thompson Valley
all his life. His wife, who was Miss
Allen, daughter Of the late James Allen,
with four children, survive him. His
brothers are, Ed, Haynes, and A. Il.
Buchanan, and his sisters, Mrs. G.. A.
Fudge and Mrs. G. w. George. of
Missouri-all well known and widely
connected and popular in this section
OF the State. q
Probably no man in the county,
among the younger class, was better OF
more favorably known than was Har-
old buchanan. He leaves behind him
a good record, both in social and bust.
ness circles, and his taking off, in the
midst of his usefulness and promise, is
peculiarly untlmely and sad.
