MIR. {. ALLEN McFADDIN DEAD

Died at his home in Manning last
Saturday morning after several
months illness, Mr.. Charles Allen Nc
Faddm, aged ID years. The deceased
had been long sufferer, but never
dld he rebel, but always looked on the
bright side of life. He knew his DAYS
were numbered, and was ready at any
time to meet the inevitable. Mr.. Nc
Faddn had been doing demonstration
work for the government for about
eleven years, and when his health be-
came SO bad he resigned this position
and accepted similar position with
the Home Bank and Trust Co., in or
der to remain at home. In the death
OF this gentleman the county loses one
OF It's best citizens, the church a de-
voted and lifetime member and Of
flcer and the bcrcaved family one of
its most loved ones. The funeral SER
vices were held in the PRESBYTERIAN
church Sunday afternoon conducted
by his pastor, Rev. l.. B. McCord This
Divine spoke most feclingly of the de-
ceased; saying in the beginning that
there was no language at his com
mand by which he could fittingly por-
tray the sincerity of this mans
CHRISTIAN character, and in the ex-
pcricnce Of several years he could
safely say, he never met one who
seemed to more nearly walk hand in
hand with God. He was not only a
Christian, but he was an honorable
gentleman, in the highest sense that
term implies.
The deceased was Il mason, and by
this lodge he was laid to rest The
funeral was one Of the largest we have
ever seen i'll Manning. The church was
filled to over-flowing and the gallery
was crowded with colorcd people who
had known and loved him life time.
The flowers We're many and beautiful.
Mr.: McFaddim leaves a widow, who
was Miss Margic Appel, several
brothers and sisters, a number of rcla-
tlves and friends to mourn his death.
