witnesses before the ThaW commission

DEATH OF CLIFF Devices.

DIED-In Dalton, Ga, last Friday
Mr.. Cliff Devices, son of Mr.. and Mrs. w
H. Devices, of Oakhurst. The young
man was twenty-five years old, and was
engaged in civil engineering. He was
stricken with typhoid fever. His father,
accompanied by DR.. Tennent, went up
to Dalton on Thursday, but he was too
near death for human aid. He was COR
sidered model young man, an expert
in his calling, and highly honorable in
all the relations of life One OF the very
pathetic features of his death is the
critical illness of his mother. She has
been in delicate health for some time,
and the sad taking away of the beloved
son has brought her down almost to the
brink of the grave.
His remains arrived here Saturday,
and the funeral services were conducted
by Rev. E. M. Dyer, Sunday morning,
at the family residence, at IL O'Clock.
The remains we're inferred in the Sandy
Plains cemetery. There were many
beautiful flower designs sent by loving
friends, attesting their friendship and
devotion. Our sympathy is extended
to the bereaved family.
