Mr. Austin Davis Sr., an old and highly respected
citizen of this county died at his home about seven
miles north east of here last Friday.  He had been
sick about two weeks with Typhoid fever.  His remains
were interred at the family grave yard near by.  Mr.
Davis was a farmer and as such has been unusually
successful.

Mr. J.B. Green, one of our oldest citizens died last
Tuesday night at the home of his kinsman, J.S.
Arington near this place. Mr. Green was stung by a
honey bee last Saturday and went in the house
speechless.  By signs he made known that he was hurt
and the sting of the bee was pulled out of his
breast.  Partial paralysis had occurred and "Uncle
John" never spoke again.  He was buried at the
Baptist church cemetery on Wednesday with Masonic
honors.  The funeral was preached very feelingly by
Elder J.A. Wright of the Primitive Baptist church of
which Mr. Green was an honored and consistent member.
He was born in Monroe county in 1826 and in every
respect his life has been characterized by a
rectitude of conduct which is rarely seen.

Mr. O.Y. Legg of Molena died last Monday night of
inflamation of the bowels and congestion of the
lungs.  He was one of the most energetic men we have
ever known.  His judgement was good, and he was
accumulating a fortune when death overtook him.  He
was comparatively a young man, and leaves a wife and
several children.  With such environments it is sad
to see such a man cut off.
