Anderson County loses another old and highly esteemed citizen in t he deal h ol Mr. Andrew Hunter, which occurred at his home near Town ville on Tuesday evening, 12th insl., in thc8-1 (li yeurof his age. A few days preceding his (hnth bc accidentally' fell from a chair, in w hich ho attempted to sit down, ami hurt one of his legs. This brought on a nervous shock ami he gradually weakened away until death came to his relief. Thc deceased was boin and reared near Bickens c. H., and about I hilly years ago nm veil to thc place where he died, lie married Miss-Mary Simpson, of this County, who preceded him to tho grave a few years ago. One sim and three daughters survive him. In his young manhood Mr. Hunter .joined thc Presbyterian ('burch, and throughout his lifo w as a devoted and exemplary member. In every relation of lifo lie discharged his duties nobly, and has left a name that his descen dants can ever point with pride to. Un thc day following his death his remains were laid to rest in tho Presbyterian churchyard at Town ville, Kev. W. S. Haunter conducting the funeral servi ces in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends. Recent published accounts of cider seizures in the County are calculated to do much injury to tho partieo charged with violating the dispensary laws by ottering for sale cider alleged to contain alcohol. A case in point is thc repent ed references to Mr. Albert S. Bowie and his clerk, Mr. Joseph Ligon, of Iva. It. is unnecessary to suy to those who are acquainted with these excellent gentlemen that there is something rad ically wrong in tho charge preferred against them, for they are regarded by their more immediate neighbors as gen tlemen of sterling qualities who arc too conscientious to violate a law knowing ly, and too careful to be led into it blindly. In conversation with a prom inent gentleman of the Iva section, he stated that the neighbors of Messrs. Bowie and Ligon felt outraged itt tho scandalous publicity given to tho case, and declared that if it were left to a jury of the ministers and Church-going people ot' that vicinity, the parties in stigating the case wouid receive a mer ited rebuke. Mr. Bowie is a prosperous farmer and merchant of Iva, and Mr. Ligon, his clerk, is a son of Kev. H. C. Ligon, of this County, and himself studying io become .a Presbyterian minister. Mr. Will R. Hubbard passed away nt his residence in this city at 7::J0 o'clock last Saturday morning, after a brave light of several mouths with the dread malady. Bright's disease. He had, however, been confined to his room only a week, and WHB not considered seriously ill until the evening before his death. While it has been generally known for some time, past that he was gradually failing in health, the news of his death came as ti shock and a sur prise to bis friends, thc most intimate of whom were unacquainted with the desperate and changed condition which had so suddenly become manifest. De ceased was thirty-six years of agc and was the 3'oungest son of the late R. IL and Juno Hubbard. By his magnetic manners and habits of industry he soon drew around him a largo ?md influen tial circle of friends, whoso splendid patronage was bestowed upon him, ev idencing the degree of confidence in which he was held by those who knew him best. Again, when he. after re pented solicitations, allowed his name to bc used as a candidate for alderman, his friends rallied to his support and gave him one of thc largest votes ever cast in this city, leading Iris ticket by a handsome number of votes. During his term of office ns Mayor pro tem, ho won many golden opinions for his ju dicial ability and timi, resolute deter mination to uphold thc majesty of the law. His voluntary retirement from city politics was universally regretted, ns every one recognized his honesty of purpose and force of splendid charac ter, so that there was no office within the people's gift which he could not h?ivc l?a?* ?or tuc ?nK?i^c. An *% cou ven man he was enthusiastic and liberal and was, np to tho time of hin ?lrst collapse in health, an active worker in the Sun day School of St. John Methodist Church, of which church he was a mem ber. About twelve years ago he mar ried Miss Dessie r?cese, who with two little sons survive him. He was an ftileeiionate husband, a fondant! indul gent father, and a true and loyal friend. The funeral exercises were conducted at the home of tho deceased by Rev. W. T. Capers and Rev. W. W. Daniel, after which the body was token in charge by the Knights of Pythias and interred in Silver Brook Cemetery with their beautiful and impressive cere mony. His family have our sincerest sympathy.
