A great profusion of flowers
banked about the casket attested to
the high esteem in which the de-
ceased was held by a host OF
friends. Rev. G. F. Swan of the
Baptist church officiated at the
services and soloist for the occasion
was Mrs. j. 3. Page who sang two
HYMNS, one of which was by
Jesus AS Thou Wilt" at the request
Of Mrs. Sorrells.
Mr.. Sorrells, who was on vaca-
ton from his duties as a customs
inspector, had just returned from
the river bridge where two lieuten-

Although Smith did not reveal
what his future business activities
