('iiniiiiighuni, and was boan ami H an d on his lath er's plantai iou m lins !'minty, having reached his M-t anniversary on lin day ol' his di alli. When he had attain ed his majori I y lu- came to this City and accepted the position ol'a sales man in lin- -tore ol' N. K. & .1. I*. Sul livan. Here he remained tor live or six yeats, ami then formed a partner ship with Messrs. E. A. Hell and .1. W. Provost, with whom he continued business until thc linn was succeeded by Cunningham & Humphreys, which dissolved when Gen. Humphreys died. Since then he has been a traveling salesman and a colton buyer, ile was strictly upright and honorable in all his dealings with his fellowmen, and had the confidence and good will ol' a wide circle ol' friends. Since his boyhood thc deceased had beena most devoted ami active mem ber of the Presbyterian Church, and bad served for a number of years as a member of the board of ?1. aeons ot that Churchill this eily, lie will be missed m ml ihe work of his Church. Mr. Cunningham possessed a mosl genial disposition ami made a friend nf every acquaintance. He was full ol' energy and public spirit, and never I urned a deaf ear to a worthy appeal of charity. His memory will long be cherished by his many friends. In 1878 .Mr. Cunningham married Miss Sallie Harrison, a daughter of the lat?! Col. F. K. Harrison, who, with three sons and three daughters, survive him. May God comfort and console them in their sore bereavement. Cn Friday the remains were interred in the Presbyterian Churchyard, thc funeral services being conducted by Kev. .1. N. II. Stiinmerell, assisted by Kev. W. T. Capers. Death of One of Anderson County's Oldest Citizen?. Cn last Sunday, at his home in Mar tin Township, this County, Mr. .lames A. Drake quietly passed away to his eternal home. His extreme age and waning strengt h tim ing quite a period previous had presaged the probable ap proaching end, and it was, therefore, not so sudden as to bc a surprise to his loved ones and neighbors. He was a native of Abbeville County, his pa tents being anning the hist Scotch Irish settlers of that County, and was in the 8?nil year of his age. In his young manhood he moved into Ander son County and sci (led near thc home where he died. In that seel iou he ?pent his life, and was a mosl success ful farmer anti u most inlluential citi zen. Tie. was well known throughout thc County, and tine of our most worthy, upright citizens. In sympathy and '.oiiipassion for the Bullering, few wore ever so tender; in helping thc poor and needy, none was ever kinder; to (he stranger, his doors were ever open,and no one dispensed a moro genuine hos pitality than he. Having a keen and ucournto sense, of justice anda high ap preciation ot what were proper rela tions between men, he was always wise in counsel ami sate in his judgment Concerning the affairs of everyday life. His friends realized and appreciated these rare and useful qualities, and they respected him for them. If any wcro sick they wanted him, and the presence of hiskindly, sympathetic face was more than remedies. If any were in trouble, his advice was always sought and relied upon. If any were in want, their ilrst thought tit help was confidently turned toward him. Such a man was ho as a friend und neighbor and thus was he loved and trusted by those who knew him best, ile possessed a patriotic disposition aini lovell Iii? Hinte. Though i>i'i>i tho military age, when the. Confederacy was weakening mid needing tho servi ces of every man within its territory, he volunteered bis services and served a year or more on the Held of battle. Truly a good man has gone to his re ward, but his name and memory will long be cherished by his wide circle of friends, who deeply sympathize with thc venerable widow, three sons and two daughters who survive him. Thc remains were interred in the Ebenezer churchyard yesterday. Merit Koli of Union (?rove School, for Mooth Fm?og Feb: f*-y HMM).

Whereas, after a faithful service of several years, our lunch loved neigh bor, Mrs. Margaret Davis, bas been called from her earthly hourn to reap her reward in Heaven.* Wo feel that we have lost one of our best Christians. Sin? had suffered a great deal for quite awhile, but she boro it all and mur mured not, and "said she was prepared to go where there 'was nopain nor I death. She was in her sixty-third year, and leaves one son and two daughters to cherish her memory. She lived with her son until the night of Jan. lil, HMM), when God called her from this world of trouble. She was hud to rest at As bury graveyard, of which Church she was a member. Kev. Mr. Burgess con ducting the funeral services. We deep ly mourn her departure, but bow in humble submission to Him who"doeth all things well.'' We feel assured tho' absent in hotly, she meets us still in spirit, and thur' her memory and intlu ence shall inspire us to greater good. 'Tis hard to break the tender cord, When love has bound the heart, 'Tis hard, so bani to snenk tho words, Must wo forever part? Dearest loved one we hnve laid thee In the peaceful grave's embrace, Kut thy memory will bo cherished Till we see thy heavenly face. Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding O'er the spoils that death has won, We would, nt this solemn meoting, Calmly say, "Thy will be dono." Though cast down, we're not forsaken, Though afflicted, we'renot alone, Thou didst give and thou has taken. Blessed Lord, "Thy will bo done," A FRIEND. To Var? a Cold In One Day.
