Neither party will be as tolerant to the intermeddling negro, as he is to the opposing side. Therefore, we would suggest, as a matter of principal and expediency that the negroes let the white people fight this muttor out. The Meeting on LMt Noniliiy. The meeting last Monday was not a large one, but the men who mere here are suppoiting the regular nominees. Speeches were made by Messrs. W. C. Benet, R R. Hemphill, W. P. Calhoun and J. Eliradley.

Stephen Franklin Gibert was born the 18th of December 1815 and died on the morning ot the 17th, October 1800, making him 74 years and 10 months old lacking one day. He was a . farmer by profession, living on the old Gibert Homestead until 1853 when he bought a tract of land in the Lebanon section. He was a son -of Stephen Gibert, Esq , of whose fami y all ire dead except Dr. J. A.. Gibert, His brother ,^Bev. J. F. Gibert died iu 1898. Frankliu Gi bert oonnected himself with the VYiliington church, whilst Ruv. W. H. D.ivw was iu char^o during the meeting held there by Dr. Da iel Baker Some time after he was elected Killing - Elder of Willinjjton church aud served that faithfully and acceptably uutil bit removal to Lebanon. Iu 1814 he 'was married to Miss Loisa M. Oater, dau^hterof the ltev. Richard D. Cater, she lived only one year. Iu 185*2 he was married to Miss Carrie ?. Baskins, daughter or James H. Baskins, Esq , by whom he left two children a son and a daughter, now Mis. Dr. Sherrard. He was elected to the office of ruling elder in Lebauon church in 1854.

He was a kind tmulianri an/1 fflfhor a bit.A anH charitable neighbor, not on'y iu deeds but in bla opinion of others. Never has the writer beard him speak ill of hit) neighbor. He ecorued mean actioDB and there was uo deceit ia biai. His Bible was a daily study and he strove with all his might to follow the example of bis Master. The world is better for such a life as be lived aud the impression for good in the example and childish faith in bU Savior will be more lasting than injuumeuts of brass acd mar* ble.
