held until later.
The coming year, however, is
said to be one of the busiest
among carpenters and contractors
and 'material is now being sold in
perhaps larger quantities than has
been known in some time.

suffered, when the announcement
was received that Rev. Thomes
Moreland dropped dead last night
about 8 o'clock at the home of
Rev. G. M. Wilbanks, pastor Of
the Baptist church at Kossuth.
Rev. Moreland had returned
home with Rev. Wilbanks, and
had just reached the Wilbanks
home, when he was asked to have
seat, and Rev. Wilbanks had
stepped out of the room to take
! drink of water. He asked his
guest if he would join him, when
the latter replied that he would.
Just as he reached out his hand
for the glass, his host noticed that
! he appeared i'll. He groaned, and
fell back. He lived only few
minutes.
| A physician was summoned, al
though he was dead, and medical
attention availed nothing.
Apoplexy is given as the cause
of his sudden demise.
| Rev. Moreland was born in this
section, and lived in Alcorn coun-
! ty for many years. He married
Miss Romine in the Pennington
neighborhood, who died several
years ago.
His second wife, formerly Miss
| Blakeney, survives him with four
children, Mrs. Anderson Burn
sides and Mrs. Jas. Taylor of this

ing fhe past several years near

torate Of the Butler Baptist
church. He was ordained to the
', ministry some several years ago,
and has been in active service
since that time.
He was an ex-confederate sol
dier, fighting bravely in the civil
war. He was a man of splendid
traits and lived an exemplary life.
He professed faith in Christ early
in life, and has lived true to the
cause ever since. He was a good
man and his life was well spent.
The entire community in which
he resided grieves over his lemise,
and to the members oil his family
the most profound sympathy is
extended.
Rev. Moreland was a Mason,
being a member Of the Royal
Arch Chapter. He was u years
of age.
His body was brought here to
the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Taylor, and funeral and burial
