W. J. THOMPSON PASSED AWAY
Prominent Citizen of the County Died at His Home in Rocky Plains District
Monday
  Mr. William J. Thompson, one of the county's best known and most highly 
respected citizens, died at his home in Rocky Plains district on Monday
of last week and was buried at Hopewell church on Tuesday.
  Mr. Thompson was in his seventy-fourth year and had lived in this county
all his life. He was a man of sterling worth to any community and numbered
his friends by his acquaintances. His word was his bond.
  Mr. Thompson had been in feeble health for more than a year, but his
condition was not considered very serious until only a few weeks ago, but
the end was as peaceful as the close of a beautiful summer day, when the
daylight fades into the night with increasing loveliness.
  He was a brother of Mrs. B. F. Camp, of this city, and Mr. D. A. Thompson,
of Rocky Plains. He leaves a number of friends and relatives to mourn his
death. The sympathy of the entire county is extended to the bereaved.
