TRIBUTE TO MR.. E. J. YATES

1t is with deep regret that we
state the death of e. j. Yates of
this city. -
TO those who have known him
in every day life he can only be
spoken. of as a gentleman and a
Christian, always kind and Willing
to aid those in less favorabeA cir
cumstances. y
During the past season scores of
hungry men appealed to him and
were not denied.
In business life his principles
were unexcelled; in social life he
was pleasant and extremely kind;
in the death chamber as the family
gathered around, could easily be
seen the strong affection which
bound the family tietI
And. after the spirit had aban-
doned the earthly tenement. stony
indeed must be- the heart which
could not go out in sympathy with
them.
May the principles of Christian
ity and right which has been his
passport through life also guide
those whom he has left behind. SC
that when the last trumpet shall
sound and death shall have lost its
sting, there may be a grand fearless
family reunion.
A FRIEND.

the doctor was at least considerably
stunned by the experience for he lay
there on the ground apparently life
less. He was conveyed to the Reming-
ton home where every attention was
given and after a time the doctor op-
ened his eyes and told those about
him to call one of the local physicians.
He then relapsed into unconsciousness
and these were the only words he ever
uttered.
Physicians were called and after
careful examinations it was decided
that the patient was suffering from
conclusion of the brain. He was re-
moved to Delta hospital on Friday and
underwent an operation that evening.

felt by any one of the medical men

Death Caused by
Heart Trouble

The death of William l.. Amiss, rs
years of age, occurred at the home of
the family on South Palmer street at
S O'Clock last Sunday morning from
heart troubles with which he had been
afflicted for nearly two years although
not compelled to resign from daily
labors and become the subject of close
attention for physicians and nurses
until about six months ago.
Mr. Amiss and his wife came to this
city from their old home in Culpepper
county, Virginia, about six years ago
when the former engaged in teaming
with two big spans of horses and for
two or three years he seemed to be in
fairly good health and enjoyed an
equal share of the work in his line.
Then his health began TO fail and for
months past he has been a constant
charge to his faithful wife, sole mem
ber of his family, and the many friends
and acQuaintances of this city. For
number of years before coming TO Del
ia Mr.. Amiss was Quartermaster on
one of the big steamers plying between
Baltimore and Norfolk.
Funeral services were held in the
Episcopal church at 10 o'clock Tues
day morning, Rev. F. NJ. Bacon, pas
tor of the church, officiating, and in
terment was in Delta cemetery. II is
stated that Mrs. Amiss contemp'ates
removal of the body TO cemetery
