J. W. Hill, after a long serious
illness passed away at his home just
afternoon Thursday. The funeral is
to be held at the Nocona Methodist
church Saturday morning, being con-
ducted by Rev. W. R. McCarter, and
interment immediately afterward at
the Nocona Cemetery.
Mr. Hill was born in Georgia No-
vember lOh, 1848, and died at Noco-
na. Texas, September 6th, 1923. He
is survived by his wife, one daughter
and five sons.
Is a marvelous piece of machinery, when properly
adjusted, however, he is capable of great things;
and after he learns the use and abuse of the dol-
lars, he becomes a frequent depositor at this Bank.
It therefore becomes our pleasant duty to assist
this boy in getting a knowledge of those things
which must shortly concern his financial welfare.
As a lesson in thrift we are prepared to furnish
the boys and girls of this community School Book
Covers for the preservation of their books.
