DIR. WEEDON IS DEAD
PROMINENT CITIZEN OF EUFAULA
 PASSES AWAY.
He Was Distinguished as . Physician and Business Man and Had Wide Acquafntance-Leave
 Large Family.

Eufaula, Sept. 10.-tSpecial. )-Dr. Hamilton Moore Weedon died at his homo here this morning at II o'clock. surrounded by all the members of his immediate family. many of whom were summoned to his bedside several days ago.
 When 1t was noticed that his life was fast ebbing away the family re- quested his faithful pastor. Rev. Henry T. Johnson. who was also watching at his bedside. to offer prayer. and 1t was during that time that his spirit tranquilly passed from earth.
 pr. weedon was born in Tallahassee. Fla. May Is, 1884. and moved with his parents when a child to St. Angus tine. and one year later to Key west. He was graduated as a physician at Albany, N. Y., with distinction in 1855, and for a number of years af- terwards practiced his profession at Key West.
 At the outbreak of the war he join- ed the 4th Florida regiment, of which he was soon made surgeon. and af- forwards promoted to division surgeon of Bates division.
 It was not until near the close of the war that he was stationed In this city and was domg hospital duty when he was again called to the front and was finally discharged at Macon, Ga., with General Johnson's army in 1865.
 Miss Mary E. Young of this city. Of this union. six sons and two daugh- ters were born. The following of these survive and are all In Eufauia: pr. H. M. Weedon. Jr. of Troy, pr. w. R. Weedon of opelika. Herbert Weedon of Chattanooga. Tenn. and E. B. Weedon of this city. His daughters are Mrs. J. R. Barr and Mrs. J. L. Ross of Eufaula.
 In August. 1868, he formed a part nership with George H. Dent. the present Mayor of the city, entering the drug business, which was maintained here until about ten years ago. under the firm name of Weedon & Dent, when it was dissolved.
 It was during 1891 that Dr. weedon lost his first wife, and in 1895 he mar ried Miss Bessie Fannin of North Car olina. who, together with an only son. Fannin Weedon. about II years old. survive him.
 Throughout all of his life, pr. Weedon was a consistent member of the Methodist Church. and was con- spicuous in its affairs.
 In every avocation of his long and useful life. he was successful. always ranking among the most prominent in his chosen profession as a surgeon and physician, and business man whose diligence and strict integrity earned for him a reputation in the commercial world.
 For two years he was a member of the City Council of Eufaula and also served as a Commissioner of Barbour Cousty.
 The funeral will occur from his late residence on Barbour Street tomorrow at II o'clock. Rev. Henry T. Johnson of the First Methodist Church will officiate, and his remains will be in. tered in Fair View Cemetery here.

 On a new circular issued Tuesday by the Anti-Saloon League, Mir. Dent dwelt at some length. and with some humor.
 "Mr. Samford's friends say that made a mistake when I took excep tions at the first circular and defend ed myself from the attacks of Brooks Lawrence of Ohio.

PASSING OF WONDERFUL RESORT

MILWAUKEE, Wis, July II, 1913
-"As a direct result of the construction
which has been placed upon state and
federal rate laws, by which all excursion
rates have been abrogated by the ran
roads in Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Deus
resort will be permanently closed Wltnln
the next thirty days; all the property OF
the Dells company will be offered for
SALE and the company Whlcn mas OPP
Grated and conducted that famous na.u
will wind up it's affairs there ana seek
other and more remunerative fields OF
operation. The company cannot con
tinue on the losing basis upon when the
business is now being conducted.
Owns 600 Acres.
This statement was made in Mi1wau-
kee today by Nat Wetzel lessee and
general manager for the last nine years
of the Wisconsin Dells company. Inns
company owns and has full contro1 ol
600 acres along both sides of the WIS
consin river. in which the most famous
and picturesque spots in the dells are
located. 1t has operated the large hotel
and cottages In the dells, three miles
above Kilbourn. 1t owns the only
steamboats, which have piled the river
between Kilbourn and the dells every
y
sands of sightseers.
President Wetzel said that under
present railway conditions, the company
is losing money every day and has been
during all Of this season. '"This in no
way, can be laid to business conditions
in the country" said Mr.. Wetzel. las
have had more letters Of inquiry from
large societies in various places in the
west and southwest with regard to ex-
cursion trips to the dells than l re-
ceived last season or during any recent
season. But when replied to these in
quiries that our company was unaDle TO
secure railway excursion rates for large
parties, except the legal rate of cents
a mile, they naturally dropped the ques-
ton of the "trip.
Roads Have Power.
'Tt is not because the Milwaukee
road cannot grant special rates to
as the law does not say that
roads cannot make any rate they may
wish, providing it is not more than the
legal 2 cents, but it is because the road
does not seem to care to go into the
excursion rate business, under the exist
ing laws. That it does not, means that
thus far this season our company has
had 80 per cent. less business than it did
last season and in previous seasons.
The company has hundreds of thousands
of dollars invested in the dells property,
and the stockholders naturally decline
to continue the enterprise at dead loss,
such as this years business is showing.
AS a result, the company has decided
to wind up it's affairs, entirely; close the
resort, permanently, and sell out to any
one with the money to buy and the
nerve to try to conduct a great scenic re-
sort in Wisconsin, under existing condi-
TONS"
