Few persons who attended the funeral of Ezekiel ELliott Monday would have believed that next day Joseph Warbinton would lie dead in the same house. He and his wife lived with the late Mr. Elliott and at the funeral Monday Mr. Warbinton assisted very materially. He was quite old, over 70, and for some time has been in rather feeble health. He wa sup and around, however, and no one dreamed the end was near. He retired as usual Monday and in the night he quietly and peacefully passed away to join the old frined just gone before him.

Mr. Warbinton had lived in this county all his life, residing for many years near Mace. He leaves a wife and one son, the latter residing in Oklahoma. Mr. Warbinton was an uncle of Ben Warbinton of the county treasurer's office and brother-in-law of Rev. JS Maxwell of this county.
