Death of Mr- Arthur Lott-
About 3.30 o’clock Thursday morn-!
ing, Mr. Arthur Lott, an honored and
loved citizen of this county, awoke,
arose from his bed, put on his clothes,
and asked his wife if she had any milk
that she could give him, before he went
out to see about the ginning. She
answered that she had butter milk
onljq and soon brought him a glass.
He was sitting on the side of the bed
when the milk was handed him, and
remarked to his wife, “I am dying.’’
He was shaking violently, and Mr.
Altman, who was passing the house
when he heard Mrs. Lott or her daugh
ter scream, came rushing in as fast as
he could, and reached the bed side as
Mr. Lott breathed his last.
Mr. Lott was one of the best known
men of this section, has served in vari
ous public trusts, and represented this
county in the legislature last year. He
was a good neighbor and faithful
friend, a devoted husband and affec
tionate father. His connection in
families of this section was large, ex
tending beyond the limits of the coun
ty-
Mr. Lott was the brother of John M.
Lott, Sr.. Elias Lott, Daniel Lott, Sr,,
J. S. Lott, Jesse Lott, and others.
Besides these his relatives are all over
the country.
Mr. Lott was a Mason, a member of
the Methodist church, at Broxton, and
was a close attendant on all religious
services any where near his home.
He was honest in his dealing with
his fellow man, had decided convic
tions on religious and. political mat
ters, but if he happened to differ with
you, was man enough to allow you the
right of entertaining such an opinion.
Mr. Loti leaves five sous, Boy Lott,
Dan Lott, Elias Lott, Elisha Lott, and
John Lott, all good business men. He
also leaves three daughters, Mrs. D.
Kirkland, Miss Rebecca Lott, and one
whose name we cannot catch.
He was hurried Thursday afternoon at
the Broxton cemetery, with Masonic
ceremonies. His death is said to hate
been caused from heart failure. Any
expression of sorrow or distress because
of this sad affliction fo the bereaved
family and relatives would be out of place.
Not alone in their sadness are these, for
all who knew this faithful, hospitable
man are in sorrow. Peace to his memory

three calves, and soon after the
paper was mailed several parties
were at his office trying to buy the
cow. Mr. Gaskin compromised

year old calf for $17.50. Every
body reads the Breeze, as sure as
you have that pipe in your mouth.

flour from your grocer, do not tell
him to send you “a sack of good
flour”, but tell him to send you a
sack of “Clfton”, because
“Clifton” is the best patent. Every
sack is sold with this guarantee,
and if it does not prove as repre
sented, your money will be refund
ed. “Chifton” is an all-round

pastry as light rolls and biscuit.
