      Well Known Citizen Gone
      Last Saturday night the Angel of Death called and Uncle Albert Meade, long one of our best and leading citizens, was no more. Uncle Albert was about seventy years old and had been in declining health for several years. He served throughout the late Civil War on the Federal side and was a brave soldier. He was an upright and moral citizen, ever doing what he could for his country and its betterment. His place in our citizenship will be much missed. He led a consistent upright life and from what we know of his walk we believe God called him to his home on high. He leaves a widow and a number of children, all grown, to whom we extend sympathy.
