AROUND THE COURT HOUSE -- We bow our heads in grief to the awful calamity that has come to the home of Will Branch FOWKLES. He has lost all that is dearest to this life, the companion of his heart, the mother of his children and the light of his home. She has gone to that unclouded home where there is no pneumonia and no sickness, and blessed be His holy name, no parting. May His face shine on the bereaved household. Rueben.
