For some time before the end came Mr. Wates fully realized that he would never be well again, feel ing that life itself was ebbing away, yet he was perfectly resigned and faced death calmly and fearlessly. He had implicit faith in the Saviour whom he had served ' for so many years, knowing that He would ac company him through "the valley of the shadow of death." Mr. Wates, because ,of his inher ent modesty, led a quiet, retired life, never seeking publicity, or places of prominence.

For unswerving devotion to duty, unfailing loyalty to his friends, un compromising convictions, exalted Christian character and sterling qualities as a citizen, Mr. Wates <? was without a peer.

Be sides three brothers, he is survived by his wife, three daughters, Mrs.' G-eo.'Yv. Busscy, dr.. Misses Effie md Georgia May \Vates, and one son. Mr. C. .M. TVates. The funeral was conducted from, the Baptist chuich Saturday morn ing and the interment took place in the village cemetery. Had Fine Trip. Yesterday afternoon Messrs. A. E. Padgett; W. A.
