over our entire community. He grew up

that we shall see his genial face no more

hope of prolonging his days, II hot fully
regaining health, he left here fdridhe

improvements, but as disease had already
fastened itself on his vital parts he soon
grew worse and lasted only two months
after his departure from South Carolina.
Mr.. Hull was twenty-four years of age,
was the second son of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
M. Hull and grandson of Mr.. ID. S.
Hull who lives few. miles below town.
He united with the Baptist church when
twelve years old and died "trusting in
Jesus" The funeral will be given in our
