After a two weeks' lllnoss of ty phoid fever, Ciarcnco Corum died at his homo In this city, Tuesday morn ing ut 1:30 o'clock. Foi soveral days ho was considered a very sick boy, and although his death was not unexpected, tho sad news was a great shock to his many friends. Clarence wns born near this city, May 25, US88, a son of Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Corum, and next to tho old est of a family of eight children all of whom survive him. Ho was bare ly past 21 years of ago Just In tho bjooin of young manhood and his soul was tilled with hopo and ambi tion, which a few short weeks ago wero more than propitious. Ho was a boy of Industry and good habits, enjoying tho fullest confidence of his associates In both business and social circles. In tho early part of tho pres ent year, ho professed faith lu the "Giver of all good gifts," and later united with the Episcopal church. In fact, tow young men were held In higher esteem than Clarence Corum, whoso name, It would seem, has been untimely stricken from tho rool of hu man existence. Young Co rum's ambition In bis business career was that of law, to which end he has been working for some time. During the school year ot 190S-9, ho attended tho Stato Uni versity at Columbia, .Mo., and was ad vancing rapidly with his studies. Slnco the early part of the year, however, ho has been at home where ho looked after tho Interests of sev eral of tho largo dally papers, and held a position with Schmidt's Tailor ing establishment. Funeral services took place at tho home ot his parents Tuesday after noon at 1 o'clock, and wero conduct ed by Itov. Price, ot Fulton, and llov. Waters, of Hickman. Tho remains wero laid to rest In tho City Ceme tery In the presenco of an unusually large crowd of sorrowing friends and relatives. The pall hearers wero Floyd Naylor, Guy Hale, Fred Case, Oce Harris, Clarence Itecd, Goalder Johnson, John Meacham and Harold DoBow. Tho bereaved friends and relatives have the sympathy of tho entire com munity. O Tho Hardy Grain Co., of Union City, and ono ot tho largest firms of tho .kind In West Teuncsbce, Is In tho hands ot a receiver. This Is tho sequel to tho tragic death of Mr. Hardy, who shot himself last week. His liabilities are said to bo $200,000 and assets nominal. A scoro or more ot Fulton county farmers will bo big losers by reason of having wheat stored In the Hardy elevators. This failure also catches a taw of tho business men of Hickman who were interested in business with Hardy. Whether tho grain company will bo able to pay Its creditors any thing remains to bo seen. Some of tho more optimistic have hopes that u small per cent will bo forthcoming. When tho state of Mr. Hard's af fairs became known to the public Sat urday afternoon, rumors wore afloat as to the condition of the Union City Trust Co., of which Hardy was presi dent, and other business concerns lu which ho was Interested, and to tho effect that his death was noc acci dental. In consequence, a run wns made on tho abovo bank Monday morning. Other local bankers vent to the rescuo and tho run passed away when It was found that tho bank was perfectly solvent. It Is said tho Mr. Hardy curried about $50000 life and S1G0OO accident Insurance, payable to his wtto. At any rote, his failure will bo felt by many ot tho concerns In which ho was Interested, as well as the banks with which ho did business. XtlBisp-V Kitchen Plumbing.
