Sudden Death of Mr.. John D, Weeks,

Our community was shocked on
last Monday morning when the news
of the sudden death of Mr.. John D.
Weeks was reported in town. Mr..
Weeks was at his place of business
at the usual hour on Monday morn
ing, but between ten and eleven
O'Clock he reported to his compan-
ions in business that he was not we'll
and that he was going home and rest
until dinner. He walked home, but
lived but short while after reach
ing his room.
Mr.. Weeks was fifty-two years of
age and while in his later years he
was never well, he appeared to be
about as we'll as usual. He leaves d
wife, a daughter. a brother, sister,
other relatives and a multitude of
friends to mourn his departure.
Mr.. Weeks was a frank and
straightforward business man, a

Dor, a kind and loving husband and
father, and a sincere and devout
Christian. He was a member of the
Dawson Baptist church. His knowl-
edge of the Scriptures, and his de-
votion to the Word of God were
worthy of our imitation.
A large number of relatives and
friends in solemn silence followed
his remains to the Baptist cemetery,
where funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. r. A. Mcfarland, of
the Baptist church, after which he
was placed away to rest until that
great day when our Lord shall come
to make up his jewels.
The heart Of the community goes
out in che tenderest Of sympathy to
the bereaved ones. May the Good
Shepherd be close to them in this
the hour when they are walking
through the valley and shadow of
death. R. A. MCFARLAND.
