in setting forth his efficiency' and pe-CfnooE

of work, but shall confine myself to a
few remarks in regard to his moral
character and high standing among
his fellow citizens. I have known
him for a number of years, and know
him to be one man who makes friends
and not enemies. He is a. lawyer by
profession and while be has not practiced
that profession in full he
has always been successiul ana a
I termer iheriff of thi* county told me
that when Judge Neil was his counsel
he was nearly always correct in bis
advice. He i? a man of deep culture,
possessed of great moral courage, as
well as being endowed with that peculiar
trait of character of never shirking
responsibility. Politically he was
and is a Reformer, but not of the
rabid kind. While he is always firm
and positive in bit political opinions,
be is possessed of that happy conservatism
tbat enables him to draw the two
extremes together and stand on a
wpalar platform.

WILLIAM B. WOODWARD.
An Old Citizen of Fairfield Stock
William B. 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.

expression of Lis opinions he was
open, frank, fearless, using strong

rugged honesty he always were, seldom

A TRIBUTE.
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

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.
