Lucian Blakely Harris.


 Lucian Blakely Harris, aged 52 years and 27 days, one of the Democratic nominees for justice of the peace of Union township, died suddenly at 12:45 o'clock Monday morning at his home on Walnut street from heart failure.
 The deceased had recently un- dergone a successful operation and was already recovering from it's effects and the incision heal ing well.
 Without premonition of such an attack, members of the fami- ly were awakened to find his condition most serious and be- fore a physician could be reach , ed, he had passed away.
 The funeral will take place 1 Wednesday morning from the home, at 10:30, the services to be conducted by his pastor, Rev. w. P. Chalmers, followed by in- terment in Walnut Grove Gene tery.
 The deceased was born in College Hill, Mississippi, Aug ust 4, 1862, and came to New port when a young man, this city having since been his home. He was first married to Miss Rose Holderby and after her death to Miss Lena Jones, who survives him. He also left two children, Miss Carrie Har- ris and Willie Jean Harris, also sister, Mrs. Carrie Daugherty, to each of whom the tender sympathy of many friends goes out in this hour of grief.
 The deceased had served as a magistrate of this township and was one of the nominees to be chosen in the election of Sep tember IA. He was a very loy- al member of the Odd Fellows and Woodmen of the World and a very devout Christian, being an elder in the Presbyterian church, to which he had evil denced a lifelong devotion in faith and service.
 He was held in esteem by the people among whom he lived and recognized as a man of character.
 All Odd Fellows are requested 1 to meet at the lodge rooms at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning to attend the funeral in a body.

General orders were issued TO all
