Bridges, of near Creswell, died after a lingering illness of Typhoid fever, at his father's house. The deceased was 21 years of age, had just finished his education, and was a most worthy young man in every particular. A friend yesterday in speaking to the Call of his death said: "Jim Bridges ws just the kind of a young man this country needs, and his death is rendered the more sad thereby." We copy the above from the Griffin Morning Call. Mr. Bridges was a pupil of Gordon Institute and has many acquaintances and friends in Barnesville.
