The town and country was shocked to learn of the death of R.J. Woods which occurred Thursday night at ten o'clock, after a very brief illness of appendicitis. Mr. Woods was plowing in his field Monday morning when suddenly attacked by appendix pains. He was brought immediately to the Nichols Sanitarium and underwent an operation. For several years Mr. Woods had suffered at intervals of appendicitis, and at this time an operation was ineffectual in relieving his condition.

R.J. Woods leaves a wife and several children. He was about thirty seven years of age, a son of Mr. and Mrs.J.R. Woods, and from one of the very best and most highly esteemed families of the entire country.

The funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at four o'clock at the Methodist church, and interment will follow in the Spur cemetery.
