 DEATH HAS BEEN IN OUR MIDST!

Dr. W. B. Ector, late a proprietor and editor of this paper, is no more. He is gone and has left upon earth no better man. This is indeed a consolation to his bereaved wife, his children and friends.

Dr. Ector was buried with Masonic honors, and every demonstration of sincere regard was abundantly manifested.--Columbus Enquirer.
