FOSTER, JUDGE WILLIAM N. - Death's Doings - Twice within the past eight days have the sable wings of the messenger of death, cast a deep shadow over the horizon of our town, enshrouding it in gloom.  Within that time two of our prominent citizens have passed away.  Judge William N. Foster, died on Friday afternoon of last week, and Col. B. F. Rosson, on Tuesday forenoon of this week.  Neither of these persons had passed beyond the years of usefulness, but the constitutions of both had become premature impaired and both have died at an age when, had they enjoyed vigorous health, they would have been prepared to do the most good.  We shall attempt no eulogy of either as that task will doubtless be performed by other and abler friends.  We shall only add that both were good and useful men and much esteemed citizens, such as no community can lose without experiencing a keen sense of bereavement.
