That news will carry genuine sadness to the hearts of hundreds of Atlantans and public men all over Georgia. Few newspaper men In Georgia were better known. None was more highly esteemed for his high character, for his squareness and genial qualities. For over thirty years he has been a familiar figure In the local newspaper Held. He knew Intimately practically every pub lic man In the state within that period, and It Is doubtful If any newspaper worker held more fully the complete confidence of men In public life. Death came to the veteran Journalist Monday evening at 6 o'clock at his home, 62 Martin atreet. For many days his devoted wife and friends have waited In sadness by his bedside for the Inevitable. On Saturday the flame of life begnn to flicker, wavering ntfully. Then he recognized for the last time the face of his wife, and though he could not ■peak, gave with eloquent eyes the last farewell.

Last October • tiny sore developed on Mr. Postell'a tongue. He gave it little heed at first, but as It grew worse he finally consulted his physician and life-long friend. Dr. Knott. He was told that he had cancer of the tongue, and treatment was begun. Rarely has there been a liner exhibi tion of personal courage displayed than this simple, unassuming man gave dur ing the earlier months of his trouble. No word of complaint or fear ever pasasd hla lips, even to those with whom he was Intimately associated about the capitol In hla work as Atlan ta representative of The Macon Tele graph. For a long while he continued faith fully hla duties Even when the shadow of death was strongly on him he went through hla dally work with dogged persistence. No liner example of devo tion to duty was ever demonstrated than that exhibited by Steve Postell, until weakness forced, him to reluctant ly yield the work to which he had de voted so many years of his life. When the final astlmate Is placed on Sieve Postell'a life and work It will be. 'He was n man who never betrayed a trust." Nover seeking for the sensa tional nor for personal exploitation, he was, nevertheless, a careful and pains taking news-gatherer and writer. Ills wide acquaintance among public men and their Implicit confidence In him won him many exclusive stories of state wide Interest. Stephen W. Postell was 61 years of age, being born In Savannah In 1847. DOE TO COLLISION Heavy Train Struck String of Cars anti Threw Them Lito a Diteh. Special to The Georgian. Salisbury, N. C..
