SUDDEN DEATH OF A PROMINENT MAN
Mr. Will McDonald Died at His Home Last Thursday Afternoon
  Mr. Will McDonald, one of the best know business men of the city, died
suddenly at his home late Thursday afternoon. The cause of his death
is thought to have been heart failure. He had been engaged in the livery 
business here for sometime and had been at the stable all the afternoon,
up to about thirty minutes previous to the time he was found at his home
in a dying condition. Drs. Travis and Robinson were immediately summoned
but could do nothing and death followed in a few minutes.
  Mr. McDonald's health had been bad for some months but he was thought 
to have been recovering and was able to attend to his business and the
day before his death he accompanied his wife and little daughter to 
Atlanta, where they went to visit relatives, and returned home seemingly
in a much improved condition. Late Thursday afternoon he went to his home 
and when someone called at the stables for him one of the negro boys went
down to his house to get him. The boy went in the room and found Mr. 
McDonald in the condition above stated. Mrs. McDonald was immediately
summoned and came from Atlanta at once.
  He leaves a wife and one little daughter, besides a number of relatives
and friends to mourn his death.
  The News joins the community in extending sympathy to the bereaved family.
