Our community was shocked on
Tuesday morning last when news was
received by wire from ST. Louis that
Mr.. Alvin Hamilton had died from an
attack of pneumonia.
Alvin had been in the employ of
John Scott u Sons, levae contractors,
for several years, and was one of their
many men whom they had the most
Implicit confidence in. While work
was suspended in st. Louis during the
winter, he came down home to spend
few months, and returned about six
weeks ago. The news of bis death
was a crushing blow to bis dear old
mother, who has past the allotted time
of three score years and ten.
His mother, brothers and sisters have
the heartfelt sympathy of the Ban
nerd Democrat.
The remains Of Mr.. Hamilton ar
rived from St. Louis Thursday night
and were laid away in the Providence
Cemetery yesterday morning at 10
o'clock.

the parish will be out OF debt. If il
had not been for the overfows and
high water fights that had TO be made
