Obituary.

Yesterday afternoon Marshal J. T. Whitson received a telegram from California bearing the sad intelligence that his aged mother, who was visiting a son in that far off golden State, had suddenly died on Thursday, of heart disease. The news was a sad blow to Mr. Whitson, who had only a few moments before receiving the message, written and mailed a letter to his mother, in which he spoke longingly of her return to this city. He little knew at that time how sad would be that return. Mr. Whitson left this city on the afternoon passenger for Tipton to make arrangements for the bringing of the remains home for buriel.
