Mr.. Tillman r. Denny died here
at his home on Monday about $3.50
O'Clock, the immediate cause of his
death being heart failure, and the
town is bowed in sorrow by the
passing away of one of its most
honored citizens. He had been sick
only few hours. On Sunday he
attended both services of the Bap-
tist church, and on Monday when
lhe started to go on his mail route,
he felt indisposed and thought best
to remain at home. a short while
before his death he went into his
bedroom to rest, and his wife hear

to his side TO find him passing
away. In the death of MIR. Denny

deacons and Bible class teacher and
clerk of the church. In the w. G.

and Mr.. Claud Denny and Miss An
