DEATH OF MR. TOM MERRITT

Americus, Ga., May 23--(Special)--Mr. Tom Meritt, a prominent citizen of 
Americus, went out to his plantation to look after some farm work yesterday.  
He was found in the field this morning in an insensible condition, having been 
stricken with paralysis.  Mr. Merritt was carried to the nearest house, and 
medical attention was given as promptly as possible, but he never rallied and 
died this afternoon.  His death was a great shock to his family and friends.  
Mr. Merritt has long been a worthy citizen of Sumter county.  He has a number 
of relatives in Marion county and leaves an intelligent and interesting family 
to mourn his loss.  His daughter, who is attending Wesleyan college in Macon, 
was telegraphed for tonight.  The burial will take place tomorrow.
