PNEUMONIA CAUSES DEATH
OF JOHN RABOURN.

After u brief illness of pneumo-
MIA, John w. Rabourn died at the
home of his sister, Mrs. W. III.
Young, of near Graves school
house, Saturday. He was born,
reared and spent his life IN this
vicinity, the date of his birth be-
ing Feb. 8, 1851, making HIM
slightly over 80 years of age.
Deceased was never married,
and led quiet, honorable life.
For some years past he had been
in the employe of the Mengel
Box Co He bore the reputation
of good man and has many
friends who mourn his loss.
Rev. j. B. Housley, of the

Whole roof was ablaze and the
fire beyond control. The vol
unteers then gave their attention
to carrying out the household
goods and saved a goodly portion
of them.
The regular firemen and fire
engine was block or more "a
WAY fighting the church fire.
Ci9ef Posey and his men made a
hg3<;Iing change from fire No. /
TO fire No. 2. Considering the fact
that the big engine was coupled to
a fire plug and three lines of
hose laid, the boys did some re
markably good work in moving.
The timely arrival of the fire en-
gine is all that saved residence
of Mrs. j. Z. Fuqua-and prada
bly, others-as the Fuqua resi-
dence was only a few feet from
the Outten property.
The residence of Mrs. G. A.
Holcombe was also threatened,
but did not catch.
Mrs. Outten carried $1,750 in
surance on her residence and
500 ON furniture. Her loss is
probably in excess of $250O. One
other family, Mr.. Toddy and fam
ily. of Jonesboro, Ark, shared the
Outten residence, but saved their
household goods.
The Fuaua residence was some
what damaged, but is fully cover
ed by insurance.
This fire was the first real test
of the new fire engine, and she
fgaye splendid account OF her
self, responding to every demand
and never missed a lick. sThe
value of the engine was clearly
demonstrated. One hose was at
taehed to a plug and the pres
sure forced the water scarcely a
dozen feet high, but the hose

S. N. WHITE DIES.
LEFT HERE 80 YEARS AGO.

Samuel n. White, a former cit
izen of Hickman and father of
Mrs. J. NJ. Hubbard, died at his
home in Brooksville, Fla, Friday,
after several years of i'll health
and the infirmities of advanced
age. Mr.. White was about SO
years old.
AT one time he was a promi-
nent merchant and miller of
Hickman, but he left here some
30 years ago. He is survived by
his wife and the following chill
dren: Mrs. Lily Wall, of Tampa,
Fla, Mrs. j. NJ. Hubbard, of
Hickman, and Sam White, of
Jacksonville, Fla.
Many of our older readers will
remember Mr.. White. He was a
splendid Christian gentleman: a
leader in social, religious and
business affairs. He was also a
prominent Mason, being the oldest
ciipci VI iichHdu SHdp-
ter No. 40, Royal Arch Masons.
When the chapter was re-organi-
zed few years ago, three of its
former members made the appli-
cation for the charter = Mr..
White, Gen. III. A. Tyler and Ex-
mayor Gardner, of Union City.
These were the only living mem
bers at that time, surviving the
yellow fever epidemic in 1878,
which wiped out the local lodge.
He was also lifelong member of
