He had been for weeks suffering from the effects of a wound in the leg from a pistol ball, accidentally discharged by a room-mate, at Waycross. When brought to this city, his physicians began treating him on the information derived that the ball had been removed. Great difficulty was experienced, however, in preventing frequent hemorrhages. On Saturday it was decided to perform an operation, in the course of which the ball was found. Too late, however, was the discovery, and on the same night he died. So young and hopeful, the light and joy of his family, and a favorite with many friends, it seems sad that he should be taken, but it is not for man to question the edicts of the Supreme Ruler. His funeral took place on Sunday afternoon from the Baptist church, and was attended by a large concourse of friends. He leaves two brothers and a large circle of relatives to whom we tender our sympathies.
