Clark Holloway, a colored drayman, fell dead of heart disease, on his dray, last Saturday afternoon. He was a good man, was diligent in his business, and was very much respected by all both white and colored. He was a class leader in the colored Methodist church. A white citizen who passed Clark's house early every morning, says he could frequently hear him at prayer. His funeral, from his church on Monday, was one of the largest ever seen in Thomaston.
