IHath of W. P. Blanton.
We were never called on to throni-

death of our popular and esteemed
citizen, Mr W. 1. Blanton. The news of
his death was like an electric shock to
all his friends so sudden and unexpec:
ed was it. Just two weeks sgo 3Ir.
Blanton was taken sick but no one
thought it dangerous. On the contrary
every one was expecting him to be up
in a short while. On Monday night
about eight o'clock he complained of
being chilly and commenced to get
woj;se immediately. Physicians were
umnjoned and all that medical skill
and loving attention could accomplish
was done but in vain; t lie end came
about two o'clock.
The funeral services were held at his
residence on Main street Tuesday af
ternoon at 5 o'clock conducted by Rev.
M. M. Landrur.). A large concourse of
his friends attended the remains to his
last resting place. The grave was dec

and fair dealing were special traits in
his character.
Mr- Blanton leaves a wife and five
smajl children and numerous relatives
o utourn his loss. Their loss is a heavy
one but they have the sweet consolation
that their earthly loss is his eternal
gain. Truly .l.he ways of Providence
are mysterious, but may they in their
sorrow Je.arn to say "Thy will be done."
Mr. Blanton was 32 years of age ar d
has beemfor a number of years a con-
sistant member of the Baptist church.
To the bereaved wife and family we
extend our most heartfelt sympathy for
while they have lost a loved one, we feel
we have lost a friend indeed and our
town an honest and upright citizen.
