J. r. Walker.

Ia J. R. 'Valav.
dice 4..s. nome in Bal
an early hour Tues.ay morning.
For the past two years he had
been in failing health and dur
ing the early part of the past
summer he was forced to relin-
quish his business and seek a re
sroration of health at Battle
Creek. Arriving there he was
unable to take the treatment and
returned home, since which time
he has gradually grown worse
until the end came. The cause
of death was heart trouble.
Dick" Walker, as he was
known was one of the best known
and best liked of the travelling
men of Mississippi. For twenty
years he has represented the
clothing firm of Browning, King
and Co., and enjoyed an exten-
sive business. He was the soul
of honor and bound his friends to
him with fetters that time could
not sunder. His good nature
was proverbial and when you had
once come under the magic of
his influence you we're his friend
ever afterwards. A man OF
great size, he possessed in equal
degree a heart that o'erfowed
with the milk of human kind
ness. The death of such a man
is loss to his community and to
the state.
He was a fine citizen and ready
at all times to do service for the
uplifting of every good cause.
There was no trouble to place
him, and when once assured or
the correctness of his position he
maintained it with answering
fidelity.
The family have lost a devoted
husband and father and their
many friends tender their sin
cere coincidence. The remains
were laid to rest in the cemetery
at Baldwin. many lovely flowers
being placed above his last rest
ing place by the hands of friends.
