Death of a Patriarch.

The death Of every body's old friend. Mr.. ". }.
Webb. which occurred early Sunday morning.
from pneumonia, removed one of the landmarks
of Aberdeen and Monroe county from the scene
OF action and much esteemed citizen has gone
TO his reward. Mr.. Webb in early manhood
came from Tennessee to Aberdeen when it was
scarcely more than village, and has been
participant in its progress and vicissitudes the
best part of his eighty-two years Of life,
When the strife between the States developed
into the carnage of war. he shouldered his
musket private in the Confederate army
and made gallant and courageous soldier to
the end of the struggle And since the close of
hostilities it has ever been his ambition to meet
and mingle with his former comrades in arms at
the annual Confederate reunions, which he al
most invariably attended.
Resuming the functions of civil life with the
conclusion of peace he embarked in the hotel
business and conducted several hostelries. among
them the City Hotel where many guests were en-
tertained during his long experience and his
hospitality was known far and wide. He did not
assume to be philanthropist but it Is fact of
common knowledge that he was often a bene-
factor to transient as well as home people in
distress and none We're ever turned away hungry
when seeking his hospitality without the means
Of recompense.
His private life was as an open book subject at
All tunes 70 the closest Inspection A rugged
honesty, habits Of industry and sincerely Of
speech. were strong characteristics that attract
ed the respect and confidence of all who knew
him ana constitute rich heritage 70 the dear
ones who mourn his loss.
Mr. Webb was an ardent member of the Odd
Fellows fraternaty. He was a charter member
of Wildey Lodge No 2l of that Order organized
IN this city in 1916 and has been a member of it
in good standing" up TO the hour Of his death
Impressive funeral services were conducted
Sunday afternoon at the Baptist Church by
Rev. D. W. Bosdeu of that denomination and
Rev. Amos. Kendall of the Methodist Church.
after which the remains were followed by large
number of friends to their last resting place
Odd Fellows Rest where they were laid away
with the rites Of the Order to which he was so
much devoted.

Louis Neuer Always Cheerful
Though Minus Both Arms

fourteen years ago LOais A. Neuar.
known BY almost everybody in the
printery, met the misfortune that de-
priyed him Of his arms. NotwfIbstand-
ing this ariiction, Louie" as he is
popularity called. is the personfacation
OF good nature and cheerfulness. The
other day ne quietly celebrated the an
niversary OF the event that changed
ms mes course and nearly ended his
existence. Few people are familiar
with the correct story Of just how Louie
lost those most useful members which
ne seems to get along so well without.
There are various versions afloat. The
popular one ia that his arms were
blown on by the premature discharge
OF saluting cannon at the time of
Mchinley's election. But it is wrong.
During the spring elections fourteen
years ago in Chicago. in the stockyards
district, Louie and several companions
were waiting at the railroad track to
hop train on the fly, as they had
done number OF times before. All
landed safely but Louie who landed
under the wheels. Both arms were
crushed, rendering necessary immediate
amputation, which was performed at
the Presbyterian Hospital under the
direction OF DR.. Nicholas Sem. the
famous surgeon. and Louie's remark
able vitality pulled him safely through
the ordeal.
