throughout the

brave soldier throughout the long struggle.
 He was married in 1866 to Miss Elizabeth Bettiesworth, from which union four sons were born: Joe, William, Sidney and Otto, all of whom survive.
 He was never affiliated with any fraternal orders, but was a member of the Christian church, public spirited man, useful cit izen, kind and tender parent. He was never a litigant in court and for the last thirty years had not been a witness in any trial.
 He was greatly interested in the improvement of live stock, and the material upbuilding of his community. While his own education was limited, he was a ready champion of free schools and the elevation of the people. While not a frequent attendant upon church, he gave freely to their support and in hospitality the stranger was ever welcome within his gates. His nature was generous in every way; he saw the good in other men and overlooked the faults.
 He lost his helpmeet through life in 1910, and after that re- mained at home more closely than ever. He loved his home and his children were his de- light.
 The funeral took place Sun- day and his personal friend, Judge M. M. StuckeJ. delivered a beautiful tribute in eulogy of the deceased in the services at the grave.
 The bereaved have the sym pathy of many friends in all parts of the county in the loss of their beloved father.

GEORGE w. RANDY
 PASSES AWAY
Died Sunday Morning At Home Of His Daughter At Tuck erman After Long Sick
 ness.

most reVered citizens of Jackson county, and one of it's oldest pioneers, after a long illness with typhoid fever in which his recovery was regarded as hope less, passed away peacefully at I6::30 o'clock Sunday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J. s. Graham in Tuckerman, with whom he has lived during his last years.
 The children of the deceased have all been with him for some time and in his last illness, ev- erything was done for his com fort and recovery, but all to no avail. The extremely hot sum- mer made his sickness all the more enervating, but he was pa- tient through it all and apprecia- tive of the tender ministrations of the beloved ones about him.
 MT. Randy was ST years of age, remarkably we'll preserved, with the vitality and interest in all about him of a man of mid dle life. He was a splendid busi- ness man and had been very suc- cessful as farmer. He was a good manager, shrewd, ener- getic and progressive and yet fair and honorable in all his dealings.
 He was man of keen public spirit. When the free school system needed friends, he was it's loyal exponent; he took an ac- tive interest in local, state and national politics and was a staunch Democrat of the old school.
 He became a Mason when 21 years old and thus had a mem- bership life of 66 years and prior to his death had asked that the Masonic service be used at the grave.
 He was a liberal supporter of the Methodist church and all things educational. He was a man of keen intellect and solid character whose influence was for good and whose memory will be cherished among the peo- pie with whom he lived. The deceased was born in Hardeman county, Tennessee and was married to Miss Dru- cilla Perry before coming to Ar kansas in 1853, at which time he located on the farm he now owns and upon which he spent most of his life.
 His wife died several years ago and he is survived by four children, R. w. Randy, Mrs. I. N. Greenhaw, Mrs. J. s. Graham of Tuckerman and Will Randy of Gainesville, Texas. Mrs. Ma rion Dudley and Oliver Randy, both deceased, were also chil- dren of the late George w. Ban- dy.
 The funeral services took place Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock conducted by Rev. M. B. Umsted and the burial fol-. lowed at Bandy's graveyard, un- der the auspices of Kirkpatrick Lodge F. & A. M.
 The sympathy of many friends goes out 10 the bereaved family in their sorrow.
