Will Feemster.

The death of Will Feemster at his
home in Nettleton Sunday night came
as severe blow to his family and
friends
Mr.. Feemster was stricken with par
alysis about year ago, and at that
time his life was despaired of He
rallied, however, and he regained to
some extent his former activity, and
was able to look after his business mat
ters. Only two weeks ago he was here
on a visit to relatives and at that time
he was apparently in much better
health than for some time. A week
before his death, however, he was taken
i'll and continued to grow worse until
the end came.
Will Feemster was one of nature s
noblemen He was a young man OF
most exemplary life and his friends
We're numbered by the number of his
acquaintance.
In his death the county has suffered
a distinct loss and his sorrowing family
have the sympathy of their friends in
their sore bereavement.

The colored trio had lured Jones into

Following this the body was bound
