In our last we announced the deaths of NELSON P. LILES and NATHAN BEVERLY, and now we have to add the loss of WALTER R. LEAK, ESQ., president of the Bank of Wadesborough, who died, after a few days illness at Terry's Landing, Ark., on the 5th inst. He was on a visit to friends and relations in that State, and the first intimation that many in North Carolina had of his death was on the arrival of his body at Wadesborough for interment at home. He was one of the most respected and influential citizens of the Pee Dee country, whose great sagacity and excellent good sense had secured him an ample fortune without deadening hiis feelings to the charities of life, and the calls of the religion of which he was a worthy professor. His age was about 47. -- "Fay.- Observer."
