Desth Calls John F. Curry

On last Saturday evening after
long and determined struggle
death called John F. Curry away
from earthly sufferings, and though
the news was expected at any time
for several days. still it was with
sorrowing hearts that his host of
friends all over the county heard
the sad message. He was taken SER
iously sick last December and for
weeks his life was despaired of
but at last he rallied and was able
to be out on the streets for sever
al months and even in a small way
to attend to business affairs, but
he was taken down again about
the first Of August and since then
1t has only been a question of how
long he could last. He made a
game fight and never gave up un-
til too exhausted to endure 1t long
or.
The funeral services were held
on Monday at the home and were
under the auspices of the Masonic
fraternity of which he was a prom
inent member. Rev. Brace of the
M. E. church delivered an eloquent
sermon after which the Masons
took charge and the proceedings
were conducted after the form OF
their beautiful ceremonial The
interment was made in Riverside
cemetery and the remains were con

The Velie buggy demonstration
pulled off Saturday afternoon by
L. c. Huddleston. enterprising pio-
neer hardware dealer, was the
greatest success as an advertising
stunt of any thing of the kind ever
put on in Lamar. Long before the
hour set for the demonstration the
crowd began to gather until the
store, the street and a part of the
right of way was mass Of eager
people. Mr.. Graves. the demOnstra-
tor. talked for one hour while
putting the buggy through some
very severe tests, but the crowd
appeared to be interested as no
one left till it was over.
Everyone present expressed them
selves as being highly pleased with
the demonstration. The people all
went away satisfied that velie bug
gies are all right. and that when
ever Mr.. Huddleston advertises an
other stunt of this kind 1t will be
worth while attending.
