A Sad Affair. Last Friday evening Mr. Martin Harris, a citizen of this county, and a very clever man, left this place for his home, about se.ven miles distant. It will be remembered that it was a very cold night. He was found on the road side between Cedar town and D. A. Whitehead’s. When conn* up on he was fighting fire—his clothing from his waist up being all nearly burned off. The theory is that he iiud put a lighted cigar in his vest *pookct and it ignited his olothing. It were but charily to suppose chat he had become eo benumbed by the cold that he could not hasten his clothing from his person. lie was removed to the hospitable roof of Mr. I). A.

The services of Dr. j Harris were brought intorequisition, but the man’s body had been burned to a crisp, and of course no human art could save him. After a f**w short, but puiuful hours, he was re lieved. The distressed family of the deceased merit, and will receive the sympathy of all their friends and ac quaintances.

She was born June 30th, 1800, and was mar ried 1819, and died December 12th, 1878, in the seventy- ninth year of herag*. Her’ parents being deeply pious, gave her religious instructions at a very early age.

Left an orphan by the death of both parents, her education was s unewhat limited. Yet after growing up she w h siderabln readei, ami lew pers : following literary pursuits were so well informed in solid I Miming.

During the fifty years of her married life, tho family altar was never neglected. Believing it to lie a wife’s duty to asiist her husband, she divided the lime with him, he holding prayer at night, she in the morning. She was present in 1828 when 1 he first prayer was offered at old Wesley Chapel in DeKalb e,uni ty, remained a member there until it was a large church. Came l<> Folk county and united with the church at Cedartown in ihe first partol 180J when there were only about, a d"/,en white members, and lived to see ft a large, prosperous society leaving on its rolls the names of twenty-four members of her own family. Her warm sympathetic heart was ever open to the interests of others with the tender affection of a relative, so that she was called “Aunt Annie” by almost all who knew her, and right well did she deserve ibis endearing epithet.
