NO. 20 1 i V Death or Chief Justice Merri moo The deepest gloom was thrown over oar community apoa the an nouncement that this distinguished statesman and profound Jurist died at his residence in the northern part of the city, this morning about 2 o'clock. Although the precarious condition of Judge Merimon's health for the past few months gave but little hope of his restoration, yet the news was a severe shock to all classes of oar peo ple. In oar limited space we cannot fully recount, the great usefulness of a life that has been so devoted to the welfare and honor of the people of North Caro'ina, an 1 so creditable in all respects, both as a public official and private citizen. For a long se ries of years the name of Judge Mer rlmon has been intimately associated with the political and judicial his tory of North Carolina, and, whether in the exciting arena of politics or the dignified role of the jurist, he has borne himself so that he has received the ever welcome plaudits of his countrymen, and goes hence amid the general sorrow. Augustus SummerQeld Merrimon was born Sept 15, 1830, in the pres ent county of Transylvania, then part of Buncombe. His father was a Virginian. During his minority he worked on a farm and at a saw mill to secure an education. He was admit ted to the bar when 21 years old Was elected county solicitor; chosen in 1833 to the legislature from Bun combe, and afterwards elected solici tor of the mountain district; chosen Superior Court Judge in 1866; he was a candidate in 1873 against T. R Caldwell for Qovenor, bat was de feated. At the session of the general assembly in ls7i he was elected U. S. Senator; was appointed a justice of the Supreae Court in 1883 by lov. Jarvis to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Buffln. On the death of Chief Justice mith he was appointed by ov. Fowle as Chief Jastiu'e. At the age of 22 Judge Merrimon married Margaret J. Baird who, with several sons and daughters, survive him. Winter Recitals.
