article in The Albanian In which Bald

Is causing a deal of comment in this
County. It Is absurd to even suggest that
any man who was a registered voter and
who had paid his poll tax was kept from
voting, and no one was even required to
show his certificate at the polls. Mr..
Johnston can not find q single man in
this County who was denied the privilege
of voting for him. and many who cast
their votes for him are now wishing they
had voted for Jelks. IL this now IA

and true in everything, and deeply loved
for his many sterling qualities; in the
zenith Of his young manhood, surrounded
by the brightest prospects in life friends,
position, everything heart could wish, so
suddenly called away 10 his long home.
Life was full of charm to him, but he
feared not death he was ready TO go when
the summons came. II seemed like the
loss OF a dear personal friend and brother
to those that knew him.
The sweet faced boy: the pleasant and
agreeable young mans the loving son so
cheerful and full OF lifes sunshine. The
many expressions OF sympathy, the tears
to the esteem and affection in which he
in itself, and the beauty OF his life shines

The highest words OF praise are not
flattery when spoken of him.
His life is his best eulogy;
His memory we cherish:

Loves deeds can never perish
