DEATH OF JUDGE HYAMS. - In common with every member of the newspaper 
fraternity in Louisiana we were deeply shocked to learn of the sudden death 
of Hon. Henry J. Hyams, editor of the West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter, who 
was stricken down by heart disease on Sunday before last. Judge Hyams - or 
Uncle Harry, as he was familiarly called by his confreres - was 55 years of 
age, a native of North Carolina, but had resided in Louisiana since 
childhood. For twenty years he edited the Sugar Planter, and during that 
period held several positions of public honor and trust, in all of which he 
rendered pure and efficient service.

We were quite intimately acquainted with the deceased and esteemed him in 
the highest degree as a warm hearted, whole souled, genial gentleman, whom 
it was a privilege to know and a pleasure to meet. Farewell, old friend! May 
the sod rest lightly upon you and a kind Providence guard and comfort the 
dear ones who

Sigh for the touch of a vanished hand,
The sound of a voice that's gone.
