MR.. R.. |. STEPHENS
HAS PASSED AWAY
Was II Years Old, Prominent In
The Methodist Church And
Masonic Order.

Born in Oxford II years ago,
and having lived here ever since,
r. l.. Stephens died Friday af-
ternoon at his home on North
Depot street.
Mr.. Stephens had beer in bad
health for more than year. but
was able to be up most of the
time. The early part of last
week he became very i'll and it
was thought an operation would
be beneficial, but his condition
and suffering for the past year
made him so weak that he failed
to rally from the ether. Skilled
physicians did everything known
to medical science to relieve his
suffering. but to no avail.
The funeral services were held
at the home Sunday morning,
conducted by his pastor, Rev.
Woola-d. after which he was laid
Q rest in the St. Peters ceme-
terry b. the MaSons. which fra
teInity he was a member.
Mr.. Stephens is survived by
his wife. two sons and two dau-
ghterS. His sons are Alfred H.
Stephens. of Pauls Valley. Okla.
and +. L. Stephens. of Oxford.
His daughters are Mrs. F. L.
Hensler. of Paris. Tenn. and
Mrs. F. A. ScarSbrook of Lake
Como. Miss.

as the theatres have been closed
by the health officers. Many
cases are reported in the city,

ported.
Out of more than $50 cases

being handled there. Although
the college had not opened, more
than 400 students were on the
campus when the malady made
its appearance. and soon filled
the hospital. Then doImitories
