Of natures noblemen, has been called
to his reward. He was at the same
time firm in his convictions of right
and bold and fearless in the express
ion Of his opinions.
Our first recollection Of journalism
in this State associates him with the
profession. He was always our friend
and in later years when we became
associaed with journalistic work that
friendship became stronger and we
are proud Of the privilege Of having
the friendship Of such man. We
shall miss him at the gatherings of
the press.
We desire now only to express a
feeling Of personal loss in the death
Of Col. Bacon and to extend our SYM
pathy to those of his immediate fam
lily who mourn his death.
