J. A. Muller, Esq., Dead.
J. A. Mailer; Esq, a prominent
member of our local bar was suddenly
9tricken down at his home yesterday
morning with paralysis and today k?
is laying in a critical condition. Drs
Wingard of this place and Griffith of
Columbia, are in constant attendance
upon him.
Since the above was put in type
we have received the painful intelligence
that Mr. Muller died this
morning about 11:30 o'clock. Mr.
Muller was one of our most prominent
citizens. He dearly loved Lexington,
his native county, and took an
active part in all measures tending
toward the upbuilding of the town
and county. By close study, application
and attention to business he
forged his way upward until he
stood among the foremost rank of
the Lexington Bar. He was a mem
ber of Ballentine Lodge, Independent
Order of Odd Fellows and
exemplified in bis life and daily walk
the principles of the Order of which
he wa6 a bright and shining light.
He served as Intendent of this town
for two or more terms and as a
Warden for several years and his
administration was marked with success.
At the time of his death he
was Secretary of the Lexington
County Fair Association and .Clerk of
the Board of County Commissioners,
ivhieh positions he acceptably filled
for several years.
We have only time and space to
jay that Justus Muller, the public
spirited, the big hearted, the true
friend and a useful citizen has crossed
the river end now rests under
ihe shades. To the widow and
iwo orphans, to his mother, brothers
md sisters, his numerous relatives
md host of friends we extend our
condolence in this hour of their
/Y1 ? _ l
tmiCDlOD.
The funeral services will be at 9
>'clock tomorrow morning at bis
lome, conducted by Rev. Bearden
md the burial will take place in St.
Stephen's cemetery immediately after.
Trenton Notes.
Do the Editor of the Dispatch:
The home of Mr. Joe S. Smith is
>rigbter since the arrival of a bright
tyed little girl. The other two are
joys.
Mr. Walter Lyons and family, of
iVaycrosB, Ga., are visiting relatives
jid friends in our community.
Mr. J. J. Leaphart and family
pent a few days visiting relatives
,nd friends among us last/week.
Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Eubanksof
Liken are visiting at the home of
lr. T. G. Smith.
I think it is generally conceded
hat this community and section of
ountry is the land of cotton only, but
hat is a mistake. There are broad
ielda of com now ripened for harvest.
Cohere are many who have seed oats
o sell and sheath oats to feed, and
Jmost everybody makes his own
lour and meat, and to day on all
ides can be seen broad acres given
o peavines on the stubble lands;
lome have been cut and nicely cured
md packed away, while some are to
>e cut yet.
With many wishes to the Dispatch
md its many readers, I am
Yours truly, Lexington Boy.
