Mr. F. M. Brooks Dead.
     The sudden death of Mr. F. M. Brooks of the Enterprise community, which 
occurred Wednesday morning, was the cause of much grief by his relative and 
many friends.  He had been in poor health for several years but was able to be 
up most of the time, and was overtaken by his last illness while out about the 
farm that morning.  He went to the house and took his bed, stating that he felt 
fatigued and thought he would feel better soon.  But in a few minutes his son, 
who had just left him, came in and found him in a dying condition from an 
attack ofheart failure.
     Mr. Brooks was about 75 years of age and is survived by one son, Mr. Ike 
Brooks, and one brother, Mr. T. N. Brooks, both living in the same community.  
He was a good citizen, a splendid neighbor, and a true christian, being a 
member of the Primitive Baptist church.
     The remains were carried to Mars Hill church Thursday morning where the 
funeral services were held, after which the body was laid to rest in the 
cemetery there beside that of his wife who had proceeded him to the grave 
several years ago.
     The bereaved ones have the heart-felt sympathy of a large number of 
friends.
