DEATH OF JAMES SHEETS.
Last night at 11 o’clock James
Sheets passed away at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. R. B. Hocking, on
Main street. Mr. Sheets had been a
long and patient sufferer from heart
trouble, and while his death was not
unexpected, his many friend*, and
they were numbered by his acquain
tances, sustained a distinct shock
when the news of his demise became
known this morning.
Funeral services were held at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. R. B.
Hocking this afternoon at 4 o’clock,
conducted by Rev. W. B. Hays, pas
tor of the Methodist church, burial
following at Walnut Grove cemetery,
where the order of Odd Fellows, of
which Mr. Sheets was a faithful and
valued member, had charge of the
services.
Mr. Sheets was born at Grayville,
Illinois, 67 years ago, and came to
Newport eight years ago. He was
engaged in the timber business here,
and was prominent in his line of en
deavor and respected for his manner
of fair dealings. He gained the
friendship of everyone with whom he
came in contact. Gentle by nature,
possessing a Christian spirit and a
bright intellect, which made ac
quaintance with him interesting, the
presence of Mr. Sheets everywhere
meant added sunshine.
The deceased is survived by his
devoted wife, and daughter, Mrs. R.
B. Hocking, granddaughter, Miss
Mary Madeline Hocking, and a broth
er, George Sheets, who resides at
Grayville, Illinois, and who was un
able to reach Newport on account of
illness.
To these surviving relatives the
Independent joins a host of friends in
extending the tenderest of sympathy.

The Bach Flue Is the Bach
bone of a Range.
No Range Can Last Longer Than Its Back-flue
Yet the back-flue is the catchall of a range. There concentrates
soot and acids and salts and moisture and everything that goes
through a range. True, you seldom or never see the back-flue of a
range—but when it rusts out the range is done for.
Some ranges don’t last aslong as its back-flue, but when the
sweaty asbestos was clad with copper to stop inside rust the Cop
per-Clad Range lasted so long that a better back-flue became ne
cessary. Nothing is too good for a Copper-Clad so a solid one-piece
malleable back-flue was provided—the first ever put on a range—
and the only one. It can’t crack, break, nor rust.
The Copper-Clad Range is as pretty as a picture and cleans
like a dish. *
