Monday alter a three weeks ill
ness.
Miss Dearing had been attend

Mr Dearing vv.te called to Decatur
and brought her home hoping that
she w ul J he able in a few d ,ys to
resume h^r school work, but the
illness grew serious and foi several !
days previous to her death little
hope was entertained for her re
covery.
Miss Dearing was a beuUtiiul
vo u»g girl; beautiful in character
as in person, gentle, yet gracious
in manner. She has always been
a fav<>rite among her companions,
one of whom said : “the was the
sweetest girl I have ever known. y y
A dutiful, obedient daughter and

a greivous blow not only to the
father, mother, brother and sister,
but to other relatives and count¬
less friends, “Who knew her I lit
to love her. y y
The funeral services were con¬
ducted from the family residence
on Tuesday afternoon and the re¬
mains laid to rest ut West View.
Sam Hay For Sheriff.
Elsewhere in this issue we pre

Hdy for re-election to that office.
No man in the county is betler and
more favorably known than Sam

courageously, and faithfully has
he manipulated the tiffins con¬
nected with the office of sheriff of
Newton county. Ills record in
this capacity is one any man
should feel proud of. He is known
by everybody as a faerless officer
though kind to all whom he has
dealings with. He is a man
thoroughly competent fox the
c flice he seeks, and has a strong¬
hold in every section of the county
among the people who are anxious
to have him serve in the capacity
.of sheriff.
