The school at Generostee, which has
been so successfully taught by Miss
Lois Davis, of Troy, for the past three
years, closed last Friday. The highest
commentators are due Miss Lois, for
during her three years among us she
has been unusually faithful and sue

How sweeping and relentless is the
dread 1angel of DEATH" All classes
and conditions of people, from the tiny
infant on his mothers breast to the
hoary headed sire, fall victims to his
merciless sway. The last death we
chronicled was that Of sweet little
girl, now it is that Of noble young
man, who was the pride OF his family
and friends and the hope of his coun-

He died on the Goth inst, after a pro-
tracted spell Of sickness, in Russell
vile, Ark, where, for two years, he
had been successfully engaged in teach

child Of the late Prof. William Hamii-

vile High School. After finishing his
academic course .ein above named
school, under Prof. S. P; McElroy, he
went.to Erskine Collegein the fall OF
1893 and graduated in 1896, taking the

we think of him as being the first one
of our number to cross over the "riyer
of DEATH y and with what grief We part
with Kim. Yet our grief is but small
in comparisons to that Of his dear ones
at home, whose hearts are indeed over
whelmed at their great loss. But they

readiness, for the change. For num-

mains were laid to rest, after appro-
pirate services conducted by Revs. w.
M. Grier, d. D., and w. L. Presley,
