U In a beautiful oai>ket and forwarding it to
Atlanta, from whence it was brought to Abbeville,
arriving here over the Seaboard
Wednesday morning about one o'clock and
was at once taken to bis borne at 8baron,
where many friends bad gatbered to speak
words of sympathy and comfort, and do all
in tbelr power to assuage the grief of tbe
aged mother, sisters and brothers, wno were
almost crazed by tbe sudden shock.
Tbe deceased bad been In tbe employ ol
tbla company about six months, and by bis
fidelity, careful and close attention to bis
duties, won tbelr esteem and confidence, as
well us the respect and good will of all tbe
tmiu view ?

Mr. William Perrin Hammond died at bis
Lome about three and one half miles South
of Abbeville on Wednesday afternoon March
9tb 1904 about 8 o'clock lc tbe 45th year of bis
age.
Tbe deceased had been In declining health
for a long time, and for the past year had
been a great sufferer nearly all tbe time, but
amid all his suffering he was uncomplaining
and submissive, and was perfectly unsigned,
knowing theend was not faroff, and when It
came bis only regret was, leaving bis family.
He was a member of tbe M. E. Church of
Sharon since bis early boyhood and died
trusting In tbe merits of a crucified Savior,
and we trust has now entered Into that land
of eternal rest where sickness and parting are
no more.
He was a good citizen, a devoted husband,
and loving father.
His funeral services were conducted on
Thursday afternoon at Sharon Church by bis
pastor Rev. Boulware in the presence of a
: large and sorrowing congregation. Inter?
mant moo m?rip in the c.pmeterv close by
I where many Irlends bad assembled to pay
tbelr last tribute of love and esteem to tbe
memory of tbelr departed friend.
Tbe bereaved wife and children together
with tbe entire .family have the sympathy of
many mends.
A shadow of gloom rested over route No.

deatb of Mr. John Bass, so sudden, so awful
and bo unexpected to friends and fam''"
alike. Then following, tbe remains of Mr yf.
P. Hammond to tbe same cemetery tbe next
day it was Indeed enough to cause sadness in
many hearts and homes. Death in all places
is nad, but when we see our friends cut off in
tbe prime oi life it is extremely so.
