HAIGHT.
In the death Of VIM. Hush, which oc-
Cured on Monday morning last, this
community has lost one of its best
citizens. The deceased suffered a
stroke of paralysis several months
ago, causing him to be confined to the
house, followed recently by another
stroke, which resulted in his death. 1t
can be truly said Of Mr.. Hush, which
can be said of very few people, no one
has been known to speak other than
in the kindest terms Of him. AS a
devoted parent he had few equals. The
deceased leaves seven children, five re-
side here. The two eldest, William,
who resides in Philadelphia, and Ida
in Baltimore. Funeral services were
held at Oakland Methodist Episcopal
on Wednesday last, conducted
by Rev. ]. r. Pardew. Interment in
the adjoining cemetery. The pallbear-
ers were Amos Arlington, Seth
l.. E. Lauterbach, Charles
Melville and John Williams. Harry R.
Weer, of SykesVille, funreal director.
Several children in this community
have been very ill with pneumonia the
past week or two, but at this writing
are recovering, and if no other compli-
cations set in, will soon be we'll again.
Out of respect to Mr.. Hush, whose
funeral took place on Wednesday, |
Haight school was closed at noon. The |
teacher Miss Ware, and most of the
scholars attended the services. The
school pr scented a floral tribute He
was a trustee of Haight school.
1t is Marching on to April, and yet
very little has been done towards
spring crops, as the rain has hindered
considerable. We think, however, the
weather will soon settle and then
farmers can buckle down to business
VIM. Fl. Phillips has purchased a
new Ford from George & DeVrieG,
and We understand sew
eral others here are going to buy this
spring. Who says hard times?
