J. H. Colyear returned last night from Little Rock, where he was called by the illness of his wife, who had a severe attack of acute indigestion and was quite sick. He left her very much better, however. Mr. Colyear has a son of whom he is very proud, inasmuch as he has taken an active part in the war, being on the Battleship Wyoming. He has been in foreign waters for several months, having just returned, but scheduled to leave again soon. The young man's name is Byrd Colyear and he is a graduate of Annapolis and during the war asked for a destroyer, which was granted him.
