At his home at Billingsley in the northwestern portion of this county, Mr. W. F. Hinton breathed his last on Sunday night at 10 o'clock. Mr. Hinton had reached the ripe old age of 70 years which have been filled with usefulness. He leaves a large family to mourn their loss, among whom are Messrs Tom and Wesley Hinton our county school commissioner. The Progress extends its sympathy to his bereaved ones.
