GEORGE v. TUCKER
PASSES SUDDENLY
Townsville Man Dies in
Sleep at Age 70; Fun
eral on Tuesday

George Washington Tucker, ~,
died in his sleep last night and was
found by members of his family at an
early hour this morning after having
been dead for some time. He was for
many years an outstanding citizen OF
his community and the county.
Mr.. Tucker had engaged in bust
ness as wheelwright, but was also
an extensive farmer. He is believed
to have died suddenly in his sleep,
after retiring as usual. He had lately
been treated for a heart ailment, and
a sudden attack is believd respon-
sible for his death.
He was born May 20, 1858, near
Townsville, then a part of, Granville
county. and had lived there most of
his life. He had resided at his last
residence for SO years. He had been
a member of Nuttush Presbyterian
church for 45 years, and for more
than 25 years had been an elder in
that church.
The deceased is survived by his
widow, Mrs. Sallie Twisdale Tucker;
and brother, C. L. Tucker, of near
WILLIAMSBURG. His father, William
Rufus Tucker, and mother, Mary
Griffin Tucker, have been dead more
than a third of a century.
Mr.. Tucker once lived in Henderson
in early life for several years, and his
father was also a resident of the city
owning what is known as the Chalk
Level property north of town.
Funeral services will be held at 2
o'clock Tuesday afternoon at Nutbush
church, in charge of Rev. J. Aston
Boyd, former pastor, now of Ten
nessee, assisted by the present pastor
Rev. J. S. Kennison. Interment will
be in the church cemetery.

eral were as follows:

GRANGE AT DAbNEY
ASKS NEW CONTROL
Cooley Petitioned To Sup
port New Legislation in
the Congress

A resolution calling on Congress-
man Harold D. Colley, of the fourth
North Carolina district, in which
Vance county is located, to use his
influence to have some form of crop
control enacted at the present session
of Congress was adopted by the Dab
ney Grange, and the resolution has
been sent to the congressman for his
consideration.
The resolution said that the 1897
tobacco crop will probably be the lar
gest ever grown, and that this was
because of higher prices that have
prevailed the past several years "on
account of government control of the
CROP" 1t also called attention to the
failure of legislatures in the tobacco
belts to agree upon compact legisla-
ton to regulate the size of the tobacco
crop and said estate legislatures
seem too easily swayed by extraneous
influences to think or care for the
great producing class" and since that
was held to be true, "our only hope is
in the national legislature, the Con-
gress Of the United States"
1t was asked that Mr. Cooley cite
the attention of Congress to "the dis
NAL prospects of the tobacco growers
r such a way that some law may be
enacted or some plan formulated in
order that they may receive a fair
price for the crop next fall" and ac-
ton was urged 'to aid us now before

Romance has made a new
