J. J. DUKE DEAD.

John J. Duke who has been in poor health for a long time, passed away last Friday at about 5 o'clock. The funeral was held at the home Saturday and the Masonic Lodge officiated and he was laid to rest in Tuck cemetery. Mr. Duke was one of the earlier settlers here and will be greatly missed. His wife passed on about one year ago and he has gradually failed since that time and has gone to join her.

He was a good citizen, a good father, and his loss will be great to his family and neighbors.
