 Thomas H. Carr was 61 years of age. a native of Ireland, citizen of Montgom- cry for thirty-1ve years, self-made man. and one who commanded the re- spect and admiration of his fellow man in every walk of life.
 In 1868 MT. Carr moved from Virginia to Eufaua and thence to this city Tn 1871 He engaged in mercantile pursuits here and from the beginning of his career and each year added to his success. In 1ss3 he established a cracker and candy factory which has grown to be one or the largest in the south.

 About one year ago MT. Carrs health began to fail and on the advice of his local physician finally went to Chicago. where an operation was performed. Since then he has never been a well man, and for months the end has been expected at any hour. With his resolute energy and tremendous will power 1t has ap- peared to his friends as though he pushed back the grim reaper for many weary hours.
 The streets of Montgomery wore look of sadness yesterday when it became known that Tom Carr was dead, and the universal expressions of sorrow told plainly the high esteem in which he was held in his adopted home.
