DEATH OF HENRY PETERSON.
A Most Excellent Young Man Is Gone
from Among Us.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Shortly after the noon hour today
surrounded by his fond parents and
devoted sisters and other relatives
who had watched by his bedside for
weeks in loving ministrations, as his
young life slowly ebbed away under
the relentless hand of that fell de-
stroyer, consumption, the soul OF Hen
ry Peterson, only surviving son OF
Capt. and Mrs J. E. Peterson, went
forth to God who gave it, in the 28th
years of his age.
It is always sad to see a young man,
in the full strength of years, die and
leave to weep over him as posterity
those who should be to him as ances-
tors; but Henry Peterson was ever,
from boyhod on up through the years
of his young manhood, so gentle, retir-
ing, courteous and considerate, that he
appeared as if he were conscious that
his tarrying her was but for season.
and so his going away seems some
what in keeping with what he lived
for, and how he lived-a model for all
young men.
In his home, in business, in social
life, in his church affiliations, in the
long travail of his fatal illness, Henry
Peterson was ever and always the
same. His faith in God and his un-
complaining resignation tn His holy
will marked him the Christian for
whom the grave has no victory and
death no sting.
To his bereaved and heart-broken
parents, to whom he was so dear, to
his two surviving sisters, Mrs. Hight
C. Moore and Mrs. w. ). Matthews,
and his sorrowing relatives, the SYM
pathy of this entire community goes
out in unfathomable tenderness.
The funeral will be held from the
home on south William street tomor-
row afternoon at o'clock, conducted
by Rev. G. It. Watkins, of the First
Baptist church, of which he was a
member from childhood.

While the machine oscillated at GER

the questions that are demanding at

punishment and said that he didn't
think it long until capital punishment
would be abolished. "It is not the Sc

but the surety which makes effec-

in laws regarding the rights of mar

frequent occurrence in Sicily in the
last six months, last night they be-
came more serious, and caused con-
siderable alarm. The most severe
quakes came at 1920 and 1925 o'clock
this morning, and were similar to the
fatal disturbance of December, being
accompanied by the same roaring
noise that added to the terror of that
fateful night
The population again fed in fear,
and cries of terror rent the air. The
people hurried to the open places of
the city and the surrounding country,
pray ing to the saints that their lives
might be spared.
Casualties Not Known.
It is as yet impossible accurately to
determine the number of casualties.
Some of the reports are alarming, but
they cannot be verified. So far as is
positively known only a few people
were hurt. One woman was killed by
a falling wall, and a child was seri-
ously injured
Gradually, as the confidence of the
people returned, Messina had acquired
a population of something over $4,000,
but today the people again are in ter
ror and do not feel themselves safe,
even in the temporary huts erected for
their shelter and have fed into the
open country, perferring the shelter
of trees and caves to the danger from
falling walls. They lack food and
covering, and are camping out in pit
iful and desolate groups
Sailors, soldiers, and policemen
have been sent out through the dis
trict to prevent looting and give cour-
age tc he people.
Eight Shocks Recorded.
Between eight o'clock last night and
1920 O'Clock this morning eight shocks
were recorded, anc u il stlumentS at
the observatory have registered a to-
tai of ten shocks of varying severity
since 1920.
News received from the provinces
indicate that damage has beer
wrought there, but it is as yet impos
sible correctly to estimate the extent
of the disaster.
