and devotion to duty he established
for his country a reputation that
crowns it with glory in tho eyes of
the civilized world.
Whether his causo was right and
just is not a question to be argued at

Hard Fight With Gcn'l Green? j
A Sad Death?Other News Notes, t
Mr. J5Jitor;---It has beon some time j
since I wrote a letter to your newsy
papor. I have had a hard fight with
General Green and this' battle has
been one hard to whip. As I have
whipped the fight and am now ready <
to take a rest, I will ray a few words
from tbia aide. The people from lliia
section are about done laying by and
going to tho pic-nics ami barbecues t
an 1 take a vacation and rest from ,
ihoaa labors.
The crops in this part of tho county
are needing rain. The cjttou crop is
very small for this time of year. Corn (
is looking ve*y promising, a lew more
good rains and the i^plaud corn will ,
make a good crop,
A very sudden death occurred in
this neighborhood Saturday, 7ih inst. J
Mrs. Mary Tweed died from a stroke
of paralysis. This was very shocking
to tliis community, ami also to Mr.
Thorpas Tweod, her son, where she
had been living. She ate a hearty
breakfast aud was apparently 'in good
health, but in a few hours she was a
corpso. She was a very old ami
respectable lady, she was 7r> years old. <
She baa been a member of the Mothodist
church twenty live years. She
leaves three bods and many relatives <
and friends to mourn her loss. i
