Henry Counts after eeveral weeks illdess, a general colapse, from an active and industrious life, died at bis home, near Irroo, last Sunday morning, in the 67th year of bis 8ge. Capt. Counts was one of our progressive and enterprising citizens, who always identified himself with the agricultural and best interest of Lexington county and her citizens, occupying the presidency of the Lexington County Agricultural Society during its first eeveral terms, with ability and wise judgment. He ably served as our representative in the General Assembly from I fo 1QQA tnitVi on nnfovniaVic^ iuuu vv/ xut/vj hiiu ??u uuvaiuiDucu record, broad-minded and fair in bis news, and a diligent worker in the interest of bis county and constituency. He was once only defeated by seven votes for County Supervisor, mcl would have made an efficient officer. He was a true, brave and faithful Confederate soldier of Co. H, 13fch Regiment, ever ready to perform his duties whenever called. He was also i prompt and faithful member of Camp Steadman U. C. V. 664, of this place. In his loss Lexington county truly loses a devout Christian gentleman, prompt and ective in the performance of all duties as a citizen. In fact we have few better men than Capt. J. H. Counts. But he is gone i m t i i* _ __ 3 Do joid tnose ci nis reiauveB bdo friends who choee to reach a better plac3 prepared for them, where peace and happiness ever reigns and Borrow is unknown. On Monday his remains were interred in the cemetery of Union Methodist church at Irmo, S. C, of which be had been an efficient officer for many years. The interment took place with Masonic honors, brethren of his own j Sinclair Lodge and Lexington Lodge, performing those sad rites. The large attendance at his funeral of friends and neighbors gave evidence of tbe high esteem in which he wa3 held in bis community. He leaves a beloved wife, relatives and friends to morn his loss, and truly can we add a good maD, a loyal citizen and a kind neighbor has left ue, for that place not made with hands eternal in the heavens?the eternal and ever blessed home of the I soul of the pure and the just. Peace to his sacred ashes. Spring Time is Here And the place for the ladies and the general public to go to buy their spriDg dress and dry goods, in the latest weaves and patterns, is at Wm.
