?11 the morning of November 2nd,
at the residence of Mr. Robert Davis,
hear Clinton. Dr. J. F. Da Vis passed
1 peacefully away, aged 73 years. Just
before the war. Dr. Davis began the
practice of medicine at Coror.aca. In
Greenwood county. At the call of
bis country he volonte? red as a ; ri
vatc in Kershaw's 2nd S. !.. ui::.<nt.
and was sent at once to th< front in
Virginia. He shared the I trtunes of
war with his comrades I;: this com
mand for one year; then stood an ex
amination in Richmond, v. . ; i .'. wm
promoted to the rank of full surgeon.
Alternating as held and hospital sur
geon he served in Virginia during the
entire war. coming home on a short
furlough only one time during the
four years.
After the surrender he was urged
by his cousin. Judge David Creswell.
of Shreveport, La., to locate in that
city, which he did in tic fall of 1m'.."..
During the next year that locality
was visited by the awful scourge of
yellow fever. Dr. Davis did not
leave tie city, as did some of the
physicians but shared with the citi
zens their sufferings and sorrows,
when daily so many of the host peo
ple died and were hurried to the cent
(tery. .lust before cold weather
came and brought relief. Dr Davis,
had yellow fever himself and was
never well again. His devotion and
efficient service greatly omh a'red him
to the citizens of Shreveport. He
was presented with a handsome medal
and made city physician, in which ca
pacity he served until forced by ill
health to resign.
Daring the epidemic of yellow fever
in New Orleans and Memphis, he was
asked as an expert in this disease to
come to their assistance, which he
promptly did. rendering faithful ser
vice ami making many warm friends
among those whom he so faithfully
served in their time of need. No man
was more honored for brav< ry, fine
ability and unswerving integrity than
Dr. Davis.
Several years ago i.e returned to
his native stai" and spent his last
year- in quiet retirement, honored and
loved by those who had known him In
bis youth.

While nothing official could bo learn

less certain that Laureus will not
have free delivery !<> muh" little tliiie
yet. T!:i- will be due m two facts;
llrst, because the streets are not
marked with sign boards in accord
ance with requirements;, and the
houses are act properly numbered;
second, because the posttiflloo receipts
for the iir'st quartet <?;' the llsCal year
beginning on July 1st have fallen
somewhat short of receipts for
the same quarter last year.
These facts, howevi r, will only de

puts that time somewhere within
eighteen months. The city author
