DEATH OF JAMES H. GRIFFITHS

James H. Griffiths, an old and highly respected citizen of Coalton, died last Saturday, after a lingering illness. His funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, Rev. L. L. Magee preaching the funeral discourse.
Mr. Griffiths was an honest, hard-working man, and respected by all who knew him.
He leaves a wife and eight children, nearly all of whom are grown. His eldest son, T. J. Griffiths, was formerly a well-knownn teacher in this county.
To further add to the affliction of the family, Mr. Griffiths' youngest son had his foot badly mashed a few days ago, while working in one of the mines.
