N. Loy. Last Thursday evening a lif tie after 6 o'clock, the news spread over the town that Jake Loy, as he was familliarly known, was dead. This was no surprise to any of his friends, and hardly to any of his acquaintance in Roxboro, for it had been looked, for for several weeks, and for the few days before, the hours had been counted to the end. For several months Mr.

Loy had been confined at home by that dreadful disease, consumption. Everything that loved ones and friends could do was done for him but the ravages of the disease could not be checked he bore up bravely and fought rnanfully, but it was of no avail, and when the end was in sieHt he knew it as well as any rno' onH nrna rDOAnnllarl f(4n day, after which the remains were taken to the cemetary where the last sad words were said and his body committed to mother earth, there to rest until the resurectionl morn. There was not a more popular young business man in Roxboro then he, very one that knew him liked him, he held the esteem and confidence of all and his death is riot only a loss to his family, but to the town. He leaves to mourn, his departure devoted and loving.wife, a sweet, bright little boy, of little ipore than two years old, two brothers and two sisters, besides many other relatives and friends. To all the sympathy of the people of Roxboro go out to in this -dark hpur: but more especially do we sympathize witli the wife and little boy who are left to mourn a loving father and devoted The Piny Grove Poultry Farm- J.
