SAM P. ALLEN DEAD.
The readers of The Corinthian will be deeply pained and shocked to learn of the death of Hon. Sam P. Allen, which occurred at his home in Booneville last night. He was stricken with apoplexy at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon and died at 9 o'clock that night. He was 49 years of age and leaves a wife and two children. The funeral services, we understand, took place this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Mr. Allen was a prominent man in North Mississippi, and was held in loving esteem by all who knew him. He ranked among the leaders of the bar, and had large and powerful influence in social and political affairs. His influence and his efforts always tended toward the higher order of things, for the betterment of society and his fellowman. He was a moral and an honest man-and when that can be truly said of a man, volumes of laudations in behalf of his character would add no more.
He was a congenial and lovable character, and his personality was felt and appreciated at home and wherever he went. He was a brother of Hon. John M. Allen and possessed those inimitable traits of humor and convivality that are so well known and so thoroughly enjoyed by a very wide circle of friends. It is with the sincerest sorrow that we chronicle his death. He was a friend highly prized; he was in loving touch of friendship with so many that his demise will be learned with a feeling of sadness that comes with the loss of one bound by sacred or closer ties of kinship. May his soul rest in peace.
