Hiram WINECUP was a splendid man and one of our most progressive citizens and when he believed a thing was just and right, he was very enthusiastic. His health had been failing for a year, but he disliked the idea of giving up his work and kept on until about a month ago. He was a public spirited man, and believed in living and let live and will be greatly missed, not only by his immediate family but his neighbors and friend as well.

A large concourse of friends were present at the funeral service, which was held at the Baptist church, conducted by Rev. Chas. L. ELLIS, assisted by Rev.
