Death of Jones F. Bolt.
Jones F. Boll died In this c'.ty at 2
P. M. on Sunday last. That (tenth
loves a rInning mark is strikingly
verified in the decease of this noble
young man.
Jones F. Holt was reared oa a farm
at Poplar Springs in this county and
came to the city three years ago, tak
ing the p ace of deputy Clerk of the
Court and has rosided in this city
si co. No young m n ever made a
more favorable Impression. Devotion
to duty, efficiency, the highest im ral
and gentlemanly bearing, were his
distinguishing traits; but there was
about .fonts Holt, a modesty, gentle
ness and sweet courtesy all bis own,
and his friends were all who knew him
ami all loving him as a "very brother."
To these and they are many his loss is
indeed irreparable, but it will bo con
fO'a'ion to their souls that in his brief
career he was dear to i hem 11 is a
precious legacy to the writer to have
had Jones F. Holt, a pure, good,
Christian boy, a friend. His remains
were carried on Monday to Poplar
Springs and there they lie alongside
his fathers and his kindred. He leaves
an aged mother, .-i-ter.--, a wife, who
was Miss Washington, and three little
children. Sad indeed for these that
they no more can have his loving care
and swoet companionship, but pre
cious to them RS a heritage that it cm
be so truly written of son, brother,
husband, father "None knew him but
to love him, none named him but to
praise."
The Foui th of July.
The two Sunday Schools of the Lau
rens Cotton Mill. Methodist and Bap
tist, celebrated this national holiday
in a Utting way by an afternoon picnic
at Holmes' Spring. Two of the most
popular and talented young lawyers of
the city accepted the Invitations of the
Schools us orators of the occasion?
Mr. Benjamin F. Roper and Mr. w.
W. Ball.' A rustic stand under the
spreading branches of the oaks was
Brccted ami ti raped wtrtr a^atfftsbme
United States Hag, l< aned by i*lr. S.
Frank Parrott, the splendid large silk
Confederate Flag of Camp Garling?
ton, loaned by Col. T. B. Crews and a
number of small llags loaned by Mr.
Hugh Kennedy. Tho elrclc of gently
sloping h lls near the spring made an
amphitheatre where the largo and at
tentive audience from the Mill and
from town sat around the stand and
greatly en joyed the Splendid ;.d IroSSCS.
Mr William Baldwin, Superintend! nt
of the Baptist Sunday t-choo! intro
duced the speakers. The lir.t in or
der was Mr. Roper, who told the
young people in chaste and beautiful
language of tho early history of the
United States and of tho ling of stars
und stripes. Of the seven years of
seemingly hop.dess struggle of the
thirteen States against the i-trong arm
of England, but that the heroes of Val
ley Forge and Hunker's Hill wore un
daunted and llnally that glorious Uh
of July eamo in which they could de
clare themselves free and independent.
Mr. W. W. Hall was then introduced,
I his carefully prepared, eloquent and
j very beautiful tribute to the Confed
I crate Hag?the "Banner ot tho bars'
that is xiow only a memory, was his
torical and Instructive alike to old as
Well as young. He enjoined upon the
young to learn of that Flag and to rev
ereneo tho heroes wl o fought to do
fend it, many of whom lill,
"Nameless graves,on battle plains,
Washed by the dreary winter's ra'ns,"
Aftor enjoying tho addresses, tho
rowd, amid tho noise of drums and
tiro crackers repaired to a grassy
knoll under the oaks where abundant
aid do'lcious refreshments were
served. For the quantity of Ice used
wo are indebted to the kin Ines? of Mr.
ft. H. Hudgens and Sheriff GcorgoS.
