Sad Death of Little Augustus
Merrimon.

The many friends Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Augustus Merrimon will SYM
pathize with them deeply in the
loss of their only child Augustus
Merrimen, at their home in Sumter.
Mrs. A. S. Tompkins went over to
Sumter last week to see the little
grandson, and add her sympathy
and counsel to that of the parents
in the illness of the child, but there
was no power in human hands, and
God in his own wis lom, did not
stay the hand of Death, so that
sorrow too deep for words, now
reigns in that erstwhile happy home.
1t seems but very short period
since these bereaved parents were
happy and care free young people
in our school, without responsibility,
and it is sad, but no doubt neces-
sary, in the Divine economy, for
these things to be. After all, we are
but children'in our Fathers keep
