MR. ANDERSON'S FUNERAL TO-DAY.
———
The Services to Be Held This Afternoon—Interment at Oakwood.
Only a few months ago three gentlemen far advanced in years met on Main street near the Dispatch office, and talking over the interesting things of the day went back to their boyhood days and lived over Again the many happy of that period of their lives.
They had all been schoolmates here in this city in the early part of the century. They spoke of the many scrapes which they had gotten into and no doubt of the floggings which they had been administered to them, and their merry laughter betokened the interest which was felt in thus recalling those long-past hours. But they have all passed away, each honored and respected and all full of years.
First, Mr. George D. Fisher died about the 1st of February, followed in a few weeks by Mr. Edwin C. Pleasants; the last one, Mr. David Anderson, Jr. will to-day be laid to rest in Oakwood. Mr. Anderson's death at the ripe old age of eighty-eight was reported to yesterday's Dispatch, when a full sketch of his long life was given.

The following will be the pall-bearers: Active—Messrs. C. D. Larus, Ed. Pleasants, Joseph Williams, Ed. J. Whitlock, J. B. Elam and Dr. Raymond D. Garcin.
