MR. B. F. HERRING DEAD.
Suddenly Died While Sitting in Iiis
Chair Before the Pi;e.
Mis JPt-uth. Cast a Gloom Over Cor
dele, lie was <> Good Man. Liked
by All Who Knew Him.
The sudden death of Mr. B. F.
Herring, which occurred last
Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock, at
the home of Mr. J. 13. Ryals, on
Thirteenth avenue, cast a gloom
over Cordele. The news rapidly
spread over the city, and exp
8ioas of HOnw c V“ ld be heard
from everybody, lie had never
recovered fiotn a spell of la
grippe which he had last winter,
but- up to a few days prior to his
death lie was on our streets look
ing about as well as he had looked
for the past several months. He
never would complain, and so far
as his usual polite greetings fo
everybody he met, indicated he
was in his usual good health. The
physicians knew last Friday that
he was in a very dangerous condi
tion,but Saturday lie had improv
ed. Monday afternoon last he
was helped to his chair. Mr.
Ryals had a conversation with
him about 8 o’clock, and left for
his drug store, leaving the family
servant, “Uncle John,’’ with him.
Suddenly “Uncle John” noticed
that lie was dead. Breath had
feft in a twinkling of an eye; he
died without a struggle.
Mr. Herring was truly a good
man. likod by all who knew him.
For several years he lias been
with J. B_. Ryals – Co., druggists.
iIe had a I >lea8 ^ t word for «very^
,Joci .V *6s pleasant manners
made him friends among the men,
and this, probably, with the fact
he was a cripple, made him
