Robert Russell Lipacomb, next to the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Lipscomb, died at the home of his parents on Limestone Street on Sunday the 2.‘>th inst., in the eigh teenth year of his age, after an Illness of only one week of pneumonia. His illness was violent from the start and little hopes were ever entertained for his recovery. Robert was a bright youth of great decision of character, was a great reader, devoted to his studies and in all things had decided opinions of his own and did whatever came to his hand with all his might. The high esteem in which he was held and the great alTection of his school mates of both sexes for him were evinced by the gloom his death has cast over them and the numerous contributions of flowers presented by their loving hearts and hands to he laid on his grave. This sad ailhction bears heavily on the bereaved family whose tilial at tachments have always been marked. Rut in their sadness they have the deepest sympathy of their many friends. The funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church yesterday at 2 o’clock p. m., and were con ducted by Rev. F. C. Hickson as sisted by Rev. \V. H. Hodges and Rev. B. 1*. Robeitson. After which the remains were carried to Lime stone cemetery and buried in the family lot in the presence of a large assemblage of relatives and friends. Concert TliU Kvenln*. The l.cllch Meeting.
