W. C. Wilson, 77, died suddenly and unexpectedly at the home of his sister, Mrs. S. W. Morgan, in Quincy shortly after noon Saturday. While he had not been in good health for some month, Mr. Wilson appeared to be as well as usual Saturday and had just finished lunch when he succumbed to a heart attack. Mr. Wilson was a brother of the late A. L. Wilson, who died about one year ago, and was the last surviving male member of the family, which consisted of four sons and two daughters. Mrs. Morgan is now the only living member.

Mr. Wilson was born at the old Wilson homestead at Sycamore, this county, January 25, 1850, and during the greater part of his life he made his home in this county.

Affiliating with Washington Lodge, F. & A. M. in 1882, Mr. Wilson was one of the oldest members of the local order, in which he took a deep and abiding interest throughout all the years. At his own request he was given a Masonic burial in the eastern cemetery Sunday afternoon, following services at the home of Mrs. Morgan by rev. d. J. Blackwell of the Presbyterian church. He was also a member of Gadsden Chapter, R. A. M.

Mr. Wilson was a man of strong convictions and never hesitated to express his views on subjects in which he was interested and informed. He had read a great deal in history, newspapers and periodicals and gifted with a retentive memory was often sought out for information relating to incidents before and since the days of the Civil War.

Perhaps the highest compliment that can be paid the aged citizen is that he was sincere and frank in all his dealing with his fellow man.

James Forest Gray, 34, who had been wavering between life and death at the Gadsden County Hospital for the past three weeks, died this morning at 3 o’clock, without having regained consciousness from an attack of meningitis of the brain.

A quiet, unassuming young man, possessing the finer instincts and qualities of splendid American manhood, Mr. Gray was held in the highest of esteem by his numerous friends and acquaintances, who join with his relative in mourning his untimely departure.

For the past twelve years James Gray had been in the employ of the U. S. Post Office Department as a rural mail carrier out of Quincy and his devotion to duty and unfailing courtesy made him one of the most popular men in the local postal service.

Services will be held and burial made at Concord this afternoon at 4 o’clock, the body being moved this forenoon to the home of his mother, Mrs. J. H. Gray, at Concord. He was a member of the Concord Methodist church.

Greensboro, March 23.—“An Arizona Cowboy,” to be given by the seniors of the Greensboro high school, will be staged at the auditorium Friday night, April 1, at 7:30.

The characters of the play are Farley Gantt, the cowboy-sheriff, Cecil Harrison; Paul Quillian, his partner, Fred Rowan; Duke Blackshear, a stranger from Frisco, Otha Booth; Hezekiah Bugg, a glorious liar, Robert Baker Davis; Yow Kee, a heathen Chinese, Evans McCoy; big elk, a Navajo chief, Lloyd earl McMullian; Grizzly Grim, a cattle thief, Marco Shepard; Marguerite Moore, the pretty ranch owner, Lillian Mae Clarke; Mrs. Petunia Bugg, from old Indianny, Evelyn Clarke; Coralie Blackshear, Dukes’ sister, Leola Smith; Fawn Afraid, an Indian maid, Thelma Eubanks; Young’un, not much of anybody, Allie Richards.

A strong feature of this play is the abundance of bristling clean-cut and breezy western comedy that eliminates all possibilities of there being any dull or dead moments. A mischievous little cowgirl, a bossy old woman, a funny Chinaman always in trouble and always looking for more, and Hezekiah Bugg, the biggest liar in the state of Arizona, will keep the audience in continual good humor.
