THE DEATH OF JOHN TURNER.

  Yesterday morning John Turner, son of William Turner, died after a 
few days illness with inflammation of the bowels.  John Turner was a 
bright, active, strong young man, aged about 16 years.  He took the 
position in McCoy's grocery store that was formerly filled by Mr. P. H. 
Walls, and during the short time he was permitted to attend to the 
business, made many friends by his kind words and obliging disposition.  
He belonged to the Baptist Sabbath school and was a member of the class 
taught by the pastor, Rev. H. F. King.  His funeral will take place 
this morning at 10 o'clock from the residence of his parents on Spruce 
street, directly back of the seminary.
