of a man just entering vigorous
manhood, and came almost with
out notice. A week before his
death Mr.. Williamson was one of
the company who presented the

of the disease which resulted
fatally so quickly-pneumonia,
The deceased was son OF the
late S. R. Williamson, and
would have been % years old
the 9th OF next February. He
is survived by his mother, Mrs.
Hettie Williamson, and two

The exact number Of delegates to the con-

for the delegates. which is in front Of the
