Tribute to the Memory Of the Late
R. E. Dickinson,


Madison. Dec. 2-The uItimely
death Of RE. Dickinson, former
citizen Of Madison, which occurred
III tragedy in Atlanta at a late hour
on Saturday evening, Nov. Is, was
one OF the saddest shocks that has
confronted the citizens Of this little
town in mum Der Of years, and was
al the more pitiful because OF the
fact that it was the fourth sudden
death that has occurred in the family
connection in very short period,
and still more sad hecau'e his frie- DIS
and relatives here very naturally
feel that as he was away from home
aud friends and among strangers at
the time o. the tragedy, that they
have only heard one side OF this sad
story.
We know that human sympathy
in case OF this kind very naturally
seeks TO shield the one who is left,
as there is no chance to aid the one
already gone.
As a friend and neighbor, the
writer lived near this unfortunate
boy for Sc en- years and knows that
among his playmates and acqaain-
tances he was loved and was always
ready to do what was right and falr'
and no one ever heard of his ~anting
to impose or attempting to treat any
one wrong. How much he may
have been at fault in this instance
we do not know, what burden was
wrecking that po,ryoung heart, dis
qualifying his brain from proper act
ion, no one will ever know
From the large concourse oil

case, and who were expecting moth
inc Int that lie came to his death ny
accident or by defending his own
life, speak o. the esteem in which
this young man was held by the peo'
ole who knew him best.
However much he may have 0eeo

sentiment Of the entire population OF ,
Madison that they can only think Oh
