 ness of Several Weeks.

J. c. White, ST., manager of the Pine Bluff office of the Lesser-Gold- man Cotton company, died yesterday evening at c::1o o'clock
 MT. White was stricken i'll several weeks ago in his office. He was taken to his room at the Hotel Pines. but failing to improve he was removed to local hospital, where death claim ed him, despite all that medical sci ence.. the tender ministrations of a de- voted wife and the constant attention of trained nurses could do.
 Immediately upon learning of his death, Rev. H. A. Stowell, rector of Trinity Episcopal church, called a meeting of the vestrymen. A com mittee composed of Robert Lee, senior warden; Sam. F. Vaulx and M. Dana her was appointed to draft appropri ate resolutions of sorrow and of re- spect to his memory.
 MT. White was a native of Glouces- tershire, England, and was 58 years of age: He was married at the age of P in England, and his eldest son, A. E. White, was born there. The fam fly came to America, locating in Prov idence, R. l. In 1893, they came south, coming to Pine Bluff, where MT. White engaged with the cotton firm of M. w. Taggart & company. He remain ed here until 1895. when the firm sent him to Monroe, La. After living in Monroe a few years he went to St. Louis for the Lesser Goldman Cotton company, and later to Helena, after which he came to Pine Bluff, returning here in 1911. He became manager for the company and occupied that posi- tion at the time of his death. He was devoted to America and became 8 naturalized citizen 30 years ago.
 During his residence in Pine Bluff he became known as a philosophical citizen, taking leading part in move ments for the improvement of condi- tions in every way. He was an active worker for the church, and a friend to every man. Generous to a fault, he never allowed time to intervene be- fore landing helping hand and open ing liberal purse to all in need, counting the act as one for humanity and in the name of his Maker.
 He was an accomplished musician, having been organist for his church in England, and was director of the large choral society in this city few years ago. He was a member of the Elks, a director of the chamber of commerce, secretary-treasurer of the Pine Bluff Cotton exchange.
 MT. White is survived by his wife and two sons, A. E. White, who is in the St. Louis office of the Lesser Goldman Cotton company, and J. c. White, Jr., who is connected with the local office of the same company.
 The funeral arrangements have not been completed. By a strange decree of Fate, this is the first death in the family, and they have not selected a burial plot The arrangement will be deferred until the arrival of the eldest son from St. Louis, who will be here today, when the final decis- ion as to the interment will be made.
