                    Death of a Former Citizen

Telegraphic information reached here yesterday of the death of Mr. Thomas A. 
"Buck" Young, formerly of this city, but for many years a resident of New 
York.  Mr. Young died on board of a steamer while en route from Charleston 
to New York and the news was a shock to his friends.  The gentleman had many 
friends in this city, where he married Miss Sue Hopkins.  His wife and
