life.was liberal in his views, Vharitahle in disposition and affectionate and gentle in his home. For many years he rep­resented this county in the state sen­ate, and was a member of the consti­tutional convention of 1890. He was connected with many of the leading commercial and business enterprises of the community, and at the time of his death, and for many years had been president of the Bank of Holmes County. He was a Knight Templar, and belong to other benevolent and fraternal orders, and a consistent mem­ber of the Baptist church.

Probably no man in this community will be missed more than Col Hook­er. and to his grief-stricken widow and sorrowing children and relatives we extend our sincerest sympathies in this deep hour of gloom.

The funeral formed one of the long­est processions of vehicles that ever at­tended a similar occasion here, attest­ing the high esteem in which Mr. Hooker was held by all of our people. The floral offerings -were beautiful and numerous. Rev. C. A. Kincanon offi­ciated and his talk at the residence was impressive and consoling. Lexington Commandery furnished a guard of hon­or until his remains were taken charge of by the pall bearers who were: S. D. (twin, J. C. Pickens, W. B. Jones,G. C. Phillips, W.W. Wilburn, 8. M.

He was a man of large means,Hon. H. S. Hooker died at his home in Lexington, on Wednesday morning at 11:55, in the 50th year of his age. On the previous Monday morning, at an early hour while dressing, he was stricken with apoplexy, and was un conscious from the beginning. All that a loving and affectionate family, and the skill of the medical fraternity could do, was done for his restoration, but without avail. From the first it was seen that his condition was hope­less, and that at best it was only a question of a short time before the end should come.

Col. Hooker was born and reared in Lexington, and here lie spent all of the years of his life. On reaching his manhood he chose the law as his pro­fession, and soon won an enviable standing at the bar, and early estab­lished a reputation as a thorough, painstaking and scholarly lawyer, and for many years his name was connect­ed with the trial of every case of im­portance in this county, and in many large cases in adjoining counties. He was the senior member of the firm of Hooker and Wilson, and this connec­tion continued until a few years ago, when each member retired from the active practice.

In early manhood Col. Hooker mar ried Miss Ella Beall, and from this union was born eight children, all of whom survive. His domestic life was a happy one, and he chose the com­forts that it brought to a more strenuous
