And , there are others, too. 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 Railway Mail Service- Atlanta, Ga., (Jet. 5, 1903.
