DEAT OF CLIFF DEWEES,
Digp—ln Dalton, Ga., last Friday,
Mr. Oliff Dewees, son of Mr.and Mrs. W,
}H. Dewees, of’ Oakhurst. The young
‘man was twenty-five years old, and was
‘engaged in civil engineering. He was
stricken with typhoid fever. His father,
accompanied by Dr. Tennent, went up
to Dalton on Thursday, but he was too
near death for human aid. He was cor
sidered a model young man, an expert
in his calling, and highly honorable in
all the relations of life One of the very
pathetic featurea of his death is the
critical illness of his mother. She hul
been in delicate health for some time,
and the sad taking away of the beloved
gon has brought her down almost to the
brink of the grave.
His remains arrived here 3aturday,
and the funeral services were conducted
by Rev. E. M. Dyer, Sunday morning,
at the family residence, at 11 o’clock.
The remains were interred in the Sandy
Plains cemetery. There were many
beautiful flower designs sent by loving
friends, attesting their friendship and
devotion. Our syuipathy is extended
to the bereaved family.

Dr.C. H. Field has eold his elegant
residence on Lawrence street to De. V. |
B. Bishop formerly of Carroliton and
Bremen, Ga., but now of Austell, and
will give possession on December sth
The consideration.was $5,000, and the
sale was made by the Warren-Abbott
Real Estate Co. Dr. Field and family
will move to Atlanta about the first of
January, where he has leased n Targe
Banitarium already equipped and fur
nished, which he will conduet in econ
nection with his practice. Dr. Field
came here a few years ago from Kenne
saw, Ga., and has built up a lucrative
practice. He is genial and courteous,
made many friends, and has succeeded
wonderfully. Some think it is unwise
for him to leave Marietta, bat he has
always had an ambition to be in charge
of a Samtarium, and he believes the
field is very inviting, and he hopes to
build up a business that will prove re
munerative, and aid him in doing a
work to relieve the sufferings of afllic
ted humanity. We regret exceedingly
the contemplated removal of Dr. rield
and his most estimable family, and wish
them unbounded happiness and pros
perity.
