BROTHERS MEET AFTER 81 YRS.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Oct. 2S.--Af-
ter a separation og 21 years, C. W..
and John W. Barton, brothers, were
brought together here at the reunion
of Confederate veterans in an unusual
manner.
C. w. Barton, who lives in Louden
county, Virginia, came with his home
delegation, a member of which was
w. C. Benton, revenue commissions
er of Loudon county. Benton had
known the brothers when young men,
and recognizing John Barton, now re-
siding at Frankford, Mo-, on the
streets, accompanied him to the stop
ping place Of c. w. Barton. The two
brothers did not recognize each other
at first, but were finally convinced of
their respective identities. John Bar
ton left his Virginia home in 1884,
and since which time none of his FAM
lily heard from him.

+. A. WILSON DIES
DIES IN LEXINGTON.

The Town of Lexington and the
county of Henderson lost one of their
oldest and best type of citizens, when
Mr.. F. A. ilson breathed his last at
1880 o'clock p. M, Sunday, October
80, 1921, in the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Joe H. Holmes, on Jackson
Street. Mr.. Wilson had been ailing
for about three weeks, but not until
a few days before his death did the
family regard his condition as dan
gerous or serious. 1t seems that Mr..
Wilson's last disability dated back to
some weeks ago when he was hurt by
his horse, but he was reticent about
the matter and no special Importance
was attached to it. His end was peace
full and he passed out of the world as
he had lived in it-quietly.
We can speak for Mr.. Wilson as we
knew him--a gentlemanly, kindly
man, who got his share of enjoyment
out of life and by his contact with
others made the world and life better
for all. He was essentially honest
and his son-in-law, Joe II. Holmes, in
whose home he had lived for years,
paid his life and character great
tribute by saying that "Mr. Wilson
was always disposed and willing to
give the other fellow square deal"-
or words to that effect. We, who came
into almost daily contact with him
will miss his pleasant greetings and
cheerful conversation-and his death
will leave an aching void in the hearts
of those connected with him by con-
sanguinity and marriage.
Francis Asbury Wilson was a son
of John and Mrs. Sarah Cathey Will
son; came from North Carolina and
were pioneer settlers of Henderson
county; he was the younger of six
brothers and had two sisters. He was
born in Henderson county Feby. "a,
lS41, hence would have been so years
old had he lived until next February
oath. He was the last surviving one
of the entire immediate family of his
parents.
He was married about IS years ago
to Miss Mary Meals, a sister of Co
lombus Meals and Mrs. Jane league,
and that union was blessed with three
children, one of whom, girl, died at
the age of three years, and Sallie ",
Mrs. ]. H. Holmes) and Dora jose
phine Mrs. W. A. Holmes) both Of
whom lived here.
The funeral service was held in the
J. H. Holmes home, Monday at 1890
p. M, conducted by Rev. 7. j. Strick
lin. of the NJ. E. Church, Of which
faith Mr. Wilson had been a member
for fifty years or more, and was CON
cluded by Rev. A. G. Melton, at Pleas
ant Hill Cemetery, in the old First
district, where the enterment occurr-
ed at $3.50 o'clock Monday afternoon.

CANCER WEEK IN THE
