Directly his wife heard a pistol
shot and running out found Tom
lying upon his back dead. Fright
ened almost out of her wits she
ran off and gave the alarm. Soon
a crowd gathered but no evidences
of foul play could be found. Ilis
pistol was lying three or four feet
from him where it had fallen from
his hand, with one chamber newly-
fired. The ball entered just be
hind his ear and killed him in
stantly.
Coroner Graham was telegraph
ed for and came down.
The jury of inquest made their
verdict in accordance with the
above recited facts.
Tom was a young man and a
good, steady hand, employed by
Mr. ./oe M. Fields at his livery
stables. Friday afternoon !'.e was
engaged in hauling coffins for
Mayer, Watts <fc Co., and the
writer saw him laughingly point
out his box to his friends as he
brought up a load. But all! he
did not know how very true were
the words he uttered.
Last Saturday evening at 4 o’
clock the earthly career of one of
Montezuma's best known und most
highly esteemed citizens was ended,
when Mr. H. B. Young breathed
his last, at the home of his mother
on Railroad street, after a linger
ing illness of several months.
This announcement will cause
universal sadness to the many who
knew him here and at his old home
and birthplace, Coney, for there
was not a young man in our midst
who was nore universally known
and respected than lie.
The deceased was born at Coney.
Ga., August 22nd. 1866 and at
which place he lived until the year
1887 when he came to Montezuma
to fill a position as salesman for
Jno. F. Lewis& Son, after remain-
ins here for several months he ac
cepted a position at Valdosta, Ga.,
but on account of failing health
soon had to give the situation up.
He retimed to Montezuma in the
fall of 1 90 and engaged in the
brokerage business thinking that
perhaps work th it was more exer
cise would restore his health. Af
ter being here for a very short
while be was honored with election
to the clerkship of the city council
without opposition, which position
he held up to his death in a most
creditable manner. He was a so
ber, industrious and straightfor
ward young man, fond of duty.
The sufferers from the fire will
ever remember the efforts made in
behalf of their property by all j
present and especially the ladies j
who laying aside formality and j
timidity worked like something j
valuable and important depend
ed upon their efforts and
seemingly vied with the stoutest
and proved themselves worthy of
of their name and station as noble
and brave ladies and women.

This thought, which is not original
wl.th me by any means, was brought to
