Mr. A. M. Stone died

accidental discharge of a pistol.
Deceased was born in Scott County, Miss.,

He is survived by two brothers, and two

Deceased was a member of the Methodist
church, having become a member of that church some twenty years ago.
He was familiarly known by all who knew him
best as 'Ab Stone,' and he enjoyed the confidence and esteem of every one who
knew him. He made his at Blevins, some few miles east of Eddy, and reared
a large family there, all of whom enjoy the respect and confidence of that
community.
He was a good man, a true husband, kind
father and a highly esteemed citizen, and in his going away, one of the best men
has been called to rest, and he will be missed by his host of friends. His
children may well feel proud of the honor to emulate the example of their
father; always honest and fair in his dealings, yet simple and plain among men,
always kind and true with his fellowmen.

residence, at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Interment at Hillcrest, Temple.
