B.F. Mathers of Benton, died Friday night at 9 p.m. Uncle Ben has not been stout for a long time and has been going on the downward road and yet there was not many people who thought the end of time for him was so near at hand. He will be missed in Benton. He had alot of friends. May we all look and now see that a kind friend and a good citizen has passed away, never to return but long may he be remembered. He was buried Sunday afternoon at the Enterprise cemetery.
