E. Dailey, familiarly known to most of us as “Louie,” breathed his last Saturday morn ing at 7 o’clock at Ins father’s home near here. He had been ill several years and had even gone to Florida for his health; at last, however, he yielded in the unequal struggle with death. Though often suffering, In* com plained not and was one of God’s* noblemen indeed, who is missed not only by his parents, but by many friends. Just in the twen ties, he was called home in life’s early morning, but not before his manly character had impressed it self upon those who knew him. The funeral and interment were at Fiippen, the Rev. J. E. England conducting the services. The deceased is survived by his Darents, Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Dailey; three sisters, Mrs. Wyatt Rowan, Mrs. Bailey, and Miss Maggie Dailey; and three brothers, Messrs. Bernard, Candler, and Master Sam Dailey. The .bereaved ones have our sincerest sympathy. Just received car of Studebaker Wagons —One, Two, and Three Horse. You can buy one now and pay for it in the Fall without cost ing you any more. D. T. Carmichael.
