town, for this noble young man was
held in high esteem by everyone.
Mr.. Grim had influenza, and later
double pneumonia developed, and it
was soon seen that there was little
hope for his life. Loving hands work
ell tirelessly to save his life, but it
seemed that his life for this earth
was ended and that God was ready
for this brave, noble spirit to come
up higher.

Baptist church and was young man
of many noble traits of character. He
was kind and gentle and a friend to
everyone, and will be truly missed.

ter Mrs. Rhodes of Hampton, and
five brothers, Rev. Eulie Grim of
Lamar, James, Richard and David
Grim, and half brother, Mr.. Walter
Grim. On Sunday at two o'clock the
burial took place at Mt. of Olives
cemetery, being conducted by his pas
tor, Rev. w. S. Brooke. The deepest
sympathy is felt for the bereaved
ones.
