Ln the death of Mr. Charles Bolt, ilch occured about 3.30 p. m. last Frif afternoon, Union loses one of its it and most patriotic citizens. Mr. It has for several years suffered with ititis, or bladder trouble, the disease same chronic, and for the last twelve intlis he bad constantly suffered the ist acute pains and hardly passed a f without suffering. For the last few inths he had to be taken to and from 1 work. He was an indefatigable irker, and a less heroic nature and demined disposition would have no ubt succumbed long sinoe. He stood his post to the last and literally died harness. We know of no man who nessed a more kind feeling toward his ighbors and fellow man. He was evready to do a friendly turn for anye and often put himself to inconvenice to accomodate a friend, and he had rost of friends. Mr. Bolt was a native of Germany, a well educated, and one of the best amen in the city.

He also 1 ved ten to twelve years as cltrkof the ird of county commissioners, and was ? iroaghly posted to the smallest details ( larding the county affairs, and his ^ Dwledge and experience have been a? uable aid to many officers of the? mty in recent years. We have never? own him to run for a public office? twsthstanding the fact that bis exper^l ce and qualifications fitted him to soessfully any office in the county gov^| mient. He was of a charitable diapo^B ion and those in need were neve^f ned away empty handed that th^| iter has ever heard of.
