early last Saturday morning after a long
illness of much suffering. Mr.. Tabler

be stayed. He was hopeful and patient
through all his affliction, and was resigned
to the inevitable end. Mr.. Tabler former

years. He was a lovable boy, full otfun,
genial and Happy, and everybody liked
him. After leaving school he went to

some time, but was obliged to return
home last year because OF failing health.

done, but he grew worse from time to time
until hope was gone. The funeral was

morning, the service being conducted by
Rev. J. c. Siler, OF the Presbyterian
Church, and the body was laid to rest in
