Death of Maj. L. C. Hoss.

The sad news of the death of Maj. L. C. Hoss was received in this city last Monday. He died that morning at his home in Johnson City, Tenn., where he moved from Cass Station a few months ago. His daughter, Mrs. A. C. Williams, Jr., left Monday afternoon for Johnson City.

Maj. Hoss was a resident of this city for several years [several words obscured] and his family have a large number of friends who sincerely mourn his death. For three or four years he was the proprietor of the St. James hotel, which he ran successfully. He moved from this city to Kingston, where he purchased a farm, leading an agricultural life for the past two years.

He was a good, genial kind hearted man, prompt and correct in a business way and personally pleasant. His family have the sympathy of all in their bereavement.
