The people of this community were sorry to hear of the death of one of our most dearly beloved citizens and neighbors, A.M. KERNODLE, who died Sunday evening.  He gained the respect of the community as a whole by his influential, upright life, and to the wife and children we extend our most heartfelt sympathy.
