On Tuesday night at nearly 2 o'clock Mr. Jno. Parnell com plained of feeling bad and went out on the back porch. Hardly had he gotten to the edge of the porch until he was heard to fall. Some of his family ran to his res cue but by the time they caught hold of him he gasped a time or two and was dead. He had been complaining that night of short ness of breath. .Mr. Parnell was 68 years of age. He was a blacksmith by trade and is well known by our people. He served four years in the war. He was a peaceful citizen and had the esteem of all who knew him. For quite a while he has been complaining of indigestion' but has neyer been sick scarcely any in his life. His death was caused, it is thought, by a fatty accumu lation around the heart. Mr. Parnell leaves a wife and five children Messrs. Ed. and Will Parnell, . of this place, and Mr. Charlie Parnell, who lives at Monroe. The two daughters are Miss Sallie Parnell and Mrs. Prather. The remains will be interred in the Presbyterian cemetery Thurs day at 10 o'clock. The funeral will be conducted at the house by ' i Revs. McGhee and Thompson, j.
