Woodward, who died near Woodward on the 1st oi October, 1897, was a man of worth and deserves more than a pawing notice. He was a son of John, who was a son of William, win was the second son of Thomas Woodward, the "Keguiator." John was a brother of Joseph A. Woodward, who represented this district in Congress for sixteen years, which place had been filled by his father, William, also, who was a soldier in his father's company in the Revolutionary war, and in a history now before me is recorded m "one of the most daring men of his day." It is for him that Woodward Church in Chester County was named, and in which a mural tablet is inscribed to his memory. William B.'s mother was Mary Mobley, of this county, and w s a woman of noble character. WJfVi Ihio r1<?a+h ranicViPQ a Jnnilmarlr of upper Fairfield, and departs a Carolinian of the old school. For eighty years the sun had shone and the snows had fallen on bis pathway. Darirjj this period he developed a character for integrity and patriotism, of which his family and friends may well feel prond. lie was a tender parent, a good hnsband, and a true and faithful friend. He was a good neighbor, a formav onrl q r?nMi/>-Cn?rifo/1 OLIV/^VOOlUi JCfrl Ul1/! } Uiiu M ^/UV/iiV U^/ilibVM ciizon. He was characterized by independence of thought, and was a man of strong convictions. In the expression of Lis opinions he was open, frank, fearless, using strong argument, which with the air of rugged honesty he always were, seldom failed to convince olher3 of the correctness of bis views, and made him a man of ueigbt and influence in his section. Descended from -in hononrnctrv. h* h?.9 ahated not OnQ particle of this patriotism, or gentlemanly attributes he inherited, but having lived up to them in the fullest degree transmits them to those who come after him, a treasure to his family and friends, and a beacon to his county, and State.

Some of the Characteristics of the Late Dr. Bratton. A gloom has been spread over the friends of Dr. William D. Bratton aud all of hia acquaintances in this community by his uutimely death. His uigo, generous ana nooie quaiiues won the love and admiration of those who knew bim well, and commanded the respect and confidence of all whom he met. Ilis was the very highest type of manhood, possessing rare, social qualities, and an intellect of the highest order; the distinguished position and high rank that he took as a a* T7A I bUIgCUU ill tll'J liav> 11 LUC V^iJiicu States was expected by hi3 friends. That a man of his qalities should die ; at any time is sad iu the exlreme: but doubly sad when it comcs a? it did to him in the very primr-. of his usefulness. When jellow fever became an epidemic he promptly volunteered his services to treat the sufferer, atd was sent to Sibitie Pass, Tex i-, where he met his death at the po-i of duty. The writer was fortunate iu kuowiog Dr. Bratton from his earliest youth, aud was always impressed with his purity and his dignity. No useless or improper word erer fell from his lips He was more pM;te and conriderate to bis inferiors thau hi3 equils. lie was a true type of his name and lineage, a devoted son and brother, and a friend ag true as heaven. Not all the vigor of his manly frame or of his brave aDd generous heait could save him from the destroyer. The tears of devoted friends cannot pierce the silence of his grave or bring him back; but we know that he died in the effort t<> save others and died blessed of God and man. Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven. John G. Mobley. Winnsboro, 0.:t. 9, 1897. Belief la Six Hoars.
