On late Thursday night, the 6th inst Bro W M Dinkins, of Caryville departed this life, leaving behind a devoted wife and several children to mourn her irreparable loss.  Bro Dinkins was a good citizen, a consistent member of the M E Church and a most affectionate and devoted husband and parent.  On Friday evening, the remains were carried to the city cemetery followed by a sympathizing procession of citizens, and under the ministrations of his pastor, Bro Bird, the last sad rite for the departed were performed and the moral remains were laid to rest in the silent tomb until the resurrection morn.
