THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
THE SAD DEMISE OF A PROMISING YOUNG MAN
Harry Evans Comes Home from Stapleton to Visit Relatives and Is Taken Ill, Which Results in Death
The death angel comes when we least expect him.
A victim sometime falls whom we always realized to the be the picture of livelihood and health.
When the information, "Harry Evans is dead," was imparted to Sandersville's people early last Tuesday morning, a look of surprise was evident upon every face.
CAME HOME FEELING WELL
Harry T. Evans, son of Hon. Beverly D. Evans, of this place, came home on Saturday, the 12th inst., from Stapleton, on the Augusta, Gibson and Sandersville Railroad, where he had a flourishing school of ? scholars. When he got here he looked in his usual health. Speaking to a friend Saturday night, however, he remarked that he felt a little ill, but that he expected to return to Stapleton on the following Monday morning, as he had a return ticket.
His expectations were never realized.
He was taken sick in a short time, and continued to grow worse until about 6:30 o'clock Tuesday morning, when death relieved him of all suffering. Very few people outside of his immediate relatives and friends knew that he was even ill until the sad intelligence that he was no more was conveyed to them.
THE SAD FUNERAL OBSEQUIES
On Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock, the last sad rites were performed over the body of the deceased young man at the Methodist church by Rev. ? H. Ivey, his pastor, assisted by Revs. J.W. Weston and J.P Wardlaw. His remains were borne to the cemetery, and, as the day was passing out of time, then were deposited in the grave prepared for them.
Harry's death was a particularly sad one. He had just reached his majority, and was a young man of great promise. He was fast making his way up the ladder of fame, and his duties in his vocation were rendered easy by his determination to succeed. He graduated at Mercer University last June, since which he has been utilizing his education to advantage.
Hosts of friends everywhere join THE PROGRESS in sympathizing with relatives and friends in their irreparable loss.

A strange but sad coincident is connected with the death of Mr. Harry Evans. On Monday night of last week Rev. J.P. Wardlaw, who was in the Methodist church pulpit, remarked that during the time intervening between church revivals in Sandersville some young person had always died. The next morning the community was shocked upon learning of the death of young Evans.
