   A Promising Young Man Dead
  
  Mr. Walter E. Weaver, of Dew, died last week at Yoakum, Texas, after a long 
illness of typhoid fever. The deceased was a son of Mr. A. Weaver, and was a most
excellent young man and Christian gentleman. A graduate of the University at 
Georgetown, he selected the profession of teaching, and had specially qualified 
himself for it. He was one of the principal teachers of the city school at Yoakum,
and was a most promising young man. The only son of idolizing parents, his death 
was a crushing blow to them, that shattered the fond hopes of his future which
had been the one dream in their lives. Sincerely will the friends of the family
sympathize with the sorely bereaved parents who feel as only those can feel who
have had a similar shadow to come over their home. The death of such young men as
Walter Weaver is a loss not only to their county, but to their State as well.
