            Luke Stewart, a well known negro about town, dropped dead of heart disease in front 
of Mr. V.M. Telles' in the Johnsonville end of town at about 8 o'clock last Saturday night.  
The customary and indispensable wake was held and it is said that the neighborhood was driven 
nearly distracted by the wails, moaning, and lamentations of the friends of the deceased.
