B. c. Hoyle.

On Sunday morning. at two
o'clock, Mr.. B. C. Hoyle died at
his home four miles west OF Tu-
pelo, in the fifty-seventh year of
his age.
Mr.. Hoyle had been in declin-
ing health for the past two years
and for the past six months his
health was in such a condition
that he was practically confined
to his house He realized his
condition and met the end with
the spirit of resignation that
come to those that feel and know
that all is we'll.
Ben Hoyle, as he was familiar
lv known, was a man of splendid
mind, of generous impulses, and
a citizen who held the confidence
and friendship of all who knew
him. He was a man of big heart,
and his loyalty to any cause he
espoused, or to a friend, was new
er questioned. He was a good
citizen, a kind neighbor, devot-
ed husband and father, and in his
passing away the county loses a
good citizen.
Deceased leaves wife and two
sons to mourn his loss.
The body was laid to rest in
the cemetery at Chesterville,
where many friends met to pay
their last tribute of respect.

Mrs. Turza H. Green.

After an illness of several
months Mrs. Turza Harkreader
Green, wife of F. A. Green. died
at her home in Verona on Mon
day morning the 18th inst.
In the death of Mrs. Green,
the community fully realizes its
loss and there were expressions
of coincidence and sympathy on
all sides for the bereaved hus-
band and family. Nothing but
the thought of the hand that had
removed her can reconcile those
nearest her in life to her ab-
sence. She was a devoted wife.
daughter and friend, and her
devotion to those she loved
would make bright chapter in
any life. Her retiring nature
led her to hide her best qualities
from public gaze, but while they
were revealed to those who en-
joyed her acquaintance, yet it
was in her home life that her
true worth was most conspicu-
Gus. Her devotion to the family
circle had no limit. For many
years she was a member of the
Methodist church and was at all
times active in the duties which
she assumed and in which she
found delight. Equipped with
Christian zeal she always stood
for the right and was a power
for good in the community where
her life was spent. Her future
was full of promise and death
came as the sunset dies along
the hills when the day is over.
