Mr.. and Mrs. Machael Thomas have
received the sad news of the death
of their son Augustus in Kansas City.
Three kilograms came, reporting him
worse and worse, in six hours. While
details are lacking, the presumption
is that he caught cold while preach

of evangelistic turn and followed the
Cross, preaching the gospel wherever
he was. He died as he lived. His re-
mains are being brought home and
his funeral will take place tomorrow
from Central Baptist church, of which
his parents are members, and inter
ment will be in this city. The serv-
ices will be at p. m. The family
has the sincere sympathy of the
whole city.
AS announced in the Statesman two

to Rev. w. G. Williams an invitation
to the pastorate of the leading church
