IN THE VIGOR OF YOUTH
Mr.. William Boyd Gourdin is Sudde My

1t is true that death is no respec
ter of l.ersons, and the rider of the

heart OF vigorous manhood, as well
as to the agei and infirm, and
both succumb to his ruthless aim.
After an illness of but briet dura-
ton, on last Monday afternoon,
Mr. William B G6urdin breathed
his last at his home near Salters.
His malady at first gave no cause
for alarm, being apparently an
ordinary attack of fever; but on
Sunday he grew worse, and on the
following day he was seen to be
sinking rapidly, his condition grow
ing worse until the end came.
MIR. Gourdin was the eldest son
of Mr.. John X and Mrs. Cornelia
Gourdin and was about 26 years
of age. lie was a young man OF
u fine intellecl,a pleasant address
and had many friends. He was a
graduate of the Citadel, class Of SO,
and stood high among his fellow
students. Shortly after graduation
he went to Jersey City, n. j.,
where he was in business for sew
eral years. Returning to this
county, since that lime he has EN-
gagei in farming. There are fe"
young men in the county so prom
ising as Mr.. Gourdin was, and his
death is SAD loss LIS bereavedpar
ents are iLconsu ble at his death
and to his other relatives and
friends it is a grevious affection.

completed the harvesting of their

little corn has been broken as yet.
There is talk of a railroad being

would rather see start made
than to hear SO much talk of it.
Any enterprise will be welcomed
by our people,that will divert Inc

escaped. The investigation IS
