learn of his death which occnred
at Vicksburg Sunday night.
Mr.. Smitha received serious
injuries from afall from his bug

after the injury his physicians
realized the seriousness Of his
hurt and fastened him to the
Vicksburg Sanitarium where an
operation was performed, His
condition became more critical
and death resulted after much
suffering.
Mr.. Smitha has been for many
years a valued salesman for Mes
srs Il. L. Crook d Co., of Vicks-

IN the river parishes.
Mr.. Smitha was native of In

He leaves a wife and three
daughters and three brothers who
who have the sympathy of many
friends.
Mr.. Smitha was an exceptional
citizen and a devoted father and

that he should have been taken
by such an accident IN the prime
of life.
