morning of Thursday, November

day night, after an illness of on
ly two days. On Tuesday morn
ing Mr.. Meadows was to have
made horseback trip to Clinton

he was to have started, while
talking to some friends at the
courthouse, he was suddenly
seized with severe pains in his
chest. DR.. Flanagan was hasti-
ly summoned from the upper
part of the county, where he
was making professional calls,
and diagnosed the case as con-
gestion Of the lungs. Mr..
Meadows was better Wednesday

worse late Wednesday afternoon,
when he fell into stupor from
which he never reused.

his death, was Cashier of the
