magnetism, and once he has been
heard, no one will ever miss an op-

and the junior choir has already been
greatly enlarged, and with the or

about two years. He is to be mar

strength.
Mr.. Tom R. Hoyt died on Satur-
day evening here at his home, after
sickness of about four months,
there being a complication of dis
eases. For the past month he was con-

friends knew that his condition was
serious the sudden end was shock.
Mr.. Hoyt was life long resident of
this place, and he was held in warm
est esteem by every one. He was a
member of the Methodist church and
was most faithful to it. The funeral
services were conducted in the home

Rev. David Kellar, spoke of what a
true member the church had in him,
and that he was always found in his
pew each Sunday. Rev. W. S. Brooke,
made some touching remarks on his
home life. AS his near neighbor, the
love of home upon the part of Mr..
Hoyt had been beautiful to see, and
his devotion to his wife and children.
Rev. Mr.. Wright, of the Presbyterian
church read the Bible lesson. After
sweet songs the body was carried to
the Mt. of Olives cemetery and laid
to rest beside loved ones. Mr.. Hoyt
first married Miss Ada Louise Mob

children, Mrs. Dent, of Columbia,
, Miss Laurie Hoyt and Messrs Thomas
and Johnnie Hoyt. He married Miss
Ruth Williams the second time, there
being one son, Marion. Two brothers
are left, Messrs Will and John Hoyt.
There were many beautiful flowers
placed on his bier by loving friends.
