Amos Chilicote answered the call of his Master on Monday night last, after having suffered untold agony from pneuymonia which fed the more readily upon his system because of his naturally delicate constitution. All that skill and watch unless could do toward alleviating his sufferings and restoring health was done, but all to no purpose. Particulars of his death can be found in another column of this paper. - kbz
