A GOOD BRINKLEY
 MAN PASSES AWAY
nr. H. C. Strong Dies oi
 Ruptured Blood Vessel.

On last Saturday afternoon at about 1::30 o'clock while doing some shopping in the store of Henry Wolf & Co.,, this city, Fl. c. Strong fell in the floor uncon-. scious, the result of a ruptured blood vessel of his brain. Physi-- ans and friends did all in their. power to restore him to con- sciousness and give relief. but he died at his home at 8 o'clock that evening.
 MT. Strong has been in failing health for some time, and the. end was not a surprise to the. citizens of Brinkley. He was a. devout Christian, and a member of the First Presbyterian church of this city. He was Lawyer" by profession, but for number of years has engaged in the banking business until failing health demanded his retirement. It was in his business career that men found him to be absolutely honest and safe in all his deal ings with the public, and it was here that his Christian character manifested itself so clearly that all men had the utmost confi- dence in him. and learned to love and trust him.
 Funeral services were conduct ed from the First Presbyterian church Tuesday at 2::30 p. m. by the pastor, Rev. w. T. Thurman. The church was packed to over- flowing, all the business houses of every kind closing for the funeral. After the services at church the Masons took charge and he was buried with Masonic Honors, as a member of Brink ley Lodge No. 295 F. & A. M., at Oak Lawn Cemetery.
 He is survived by a loving wife and one child. four sisters and a brother, Mrs. L. c. Cousar of Atoka, Tenn. Mrs. Thomas Wright of Kirlyville. Tex, Misses Anna and Lula Strong of Beau mont. Tex, and John c. Strong of Beaumont, Tex. Mrs. L. c. Cousar and Miss Anna Strong were the only two present.
 Truly a good man has gone from our midst, and we shall sadly miss him, but in our sorrow we turn in sympathy to his widow and little son left behind without husbands and fathers care and to them we extend our deepest condolence and sympa- thy, and to the other relatives and host of friends we say, God bless and comfort you all in this sad hour of your sorrow.
