The Hihernica combination closed
their entertainments with.a crowded
house last night, and it gives us
pleasure to attest to the excellence of
the ladies and gentlemen who com
pose the company, and the real merit
of the accurate and artistically reus
d' ved scenes so faithfully portrayed
on canvass. The singing of Miss
Maud DavcnjHjrt was immense, as
was also that of Miss Tenhroeck, and
their dramatic personations were faith
fully delineated. ** Bryan O’Lynn

calities convulsed the house- with
laughter. Mr. Tommy Morrisey’s
clog dance is alone worth the price of
admission. John' Henshaw in his

Died, at Valdosta, Georgia, January 29,1877,
Mrs. Joseph not Isabella. Nicholes, consort of
Hoary Nicholes, Esq., aged thirty-two years and
two months.
The subject of this sketch was one of those
lovely and symmetrical characters; who some
times appear upon this earthly scene, to bless
and comfort all subjected to their gentle influ
ence.
Ilers was a spirit sweetly attuned to all the
harmonies of nature; sipping joy and consola
tion from every object of beauty, and literally
reveling in God’s mercies and benefactions.
Bat on tho other hand, it can truthfully be
said, also, that even in the deepest waters of
adversity, when reduced to the greatest straits
by.the remit of the late war; wuen affliction
and sorrow cast their glamour upon her path
way ; when the future seemed dark and un
certain, and au invalid husband and increasing
family added mountains to her cares, it was then
that the true Christian and devoted wild and
mother shone forth conspicuously, in their
noblest aspect.
Not a murmur ever escaped her lips. Priva
tions were encountered with a cheerfulness,
edifying to behold, and when others would have
sunk beneath the accumulation of misfortunes,
her brave spirit seemed to rise nnder the dread
ordeal, and she went about her daily duties
singing hymns of praise to her Heavenly Father,
and never doubting Mis watchful care and prov
idence.
It was impossible to come within the sphere
this pious lady, without catching the inspira
tion of her exalted faith and trust in God, and
feeling that she was, indeed, a living and bright
exemplar of our blessed religion. In the
language of a dear friend, herself a bed-ridden
Saint, full of the ineffable jays of the redeemed,
She made the Bible her companion and kept
close to the Mercy Seat., It was there, through
the Holy Spirit, she received that strong, joyous
faith which made her Christian character and
life so beautiful, that we believe their precious
influence will live on forever aud ever.”
She was so lovely, because her life was Hid
in the altogether Lovely One; so peaceful and
sunny, because reflecting the beams of the sun
of righteousness, in whose light the walked
from day to day.
Something for Jesus—Lord, I long to be
A living song of gratitude to Thee;
A guiding light—a hand stretched forth to
bless,
A spirit covered with Christ’s righteousness.”
This was the prayer of her heart, and.in her
beautiful Christian character and walk, we read
God’s nnswer to the petition."
Snoh is the testimony of one, who is herself,
In a most remarkable degree, the recipient of
God’s grace and abounding love, and whoso sick
chamber is redolent of the swoet consolations
and pure joys which bless and cheer tho sancti
fied child of God, even while sojourning, a
patient sufferer in this tabernacle of day.
Mrs. Nicholes was born and reared in Athens,
Gn., and was the vonngest of seven sisters, the
sbildren of. Wm—Mortoo, Esq., who still-
snrvivee at an advanced ago. Two of these
sisters, Mrs. Bonndl and Mrs. Walthonr, are
well known and beloved residents of this city.
The deceased wss united in marriage to Henry
Nicholes, a most worthy and pious gentleman,
at the residence of her sister, Mrs. Wiggins, in
Waynesville, Georgia, July, 1884. She leaves
four children, one of them “ an infant ot days,”
to mourn a loss, which is irreparable.
Possessed of a strong constitution, and always
full of activity and energy, the terrible sudden
ness of her departure, caused by pneumonia
and congestion, shocked and almost over
whelmed her nnmerons friends and kindred.
To the stricken husband it came with stunning
effect, and it woss impossible for him to realito
that his “ best beloved ” wss indeed snatched
away forover.
Yet even ithe suddenness of the stroke did
not find her unprepared. Hers was a life wrap
ped np in Christ, and the summons of the
Angel of Death fonnd her ready and willing to
depart.
Calmly she called to her bedside the little
group soon to be orphans, and, one by ono, ad
dressed words of the tenderest admonition to
them. Then, taking the unconscious infant in
hor arms, she invoked a blessing upon its head,
and commended it to the care of a loved sister.
No transient fear, no larking doubt, not one
misgiving clouded the last moments of the de
parting saint. Her trust in the Bedeemer was
perfect; her faith firm as the everlasting hills;
her assurance of sinstforgiven and the posses-
sion of that inheritanoe which is incorrnptiblc
and faded not away, joyfnl and triumphant.
Death had no sting for her, the grave no vic
tor}’. Sweetly she fell asleep in Jesus, and
joined tho angelic choir, who, clothed in white
vestments and with seals npon their foreheads,
forever chant the praises of the Lamb.
The funeral of Mrs. Nicholes took place in the
Baptist church, of which she was a member,
and the services were conducted with great
solemnity by Bev. Mr. McBryde, formerly a
pastor in this city.
Thus terminated the earthly career of this
now beautified Saint, whose life was a living
illustration of the genuineness and power of the
Christian’s faith.
The above feeble tribute to the memory and
excellence of the departed, was penned at the
request of the almost heart-brokeu husband,
The writer can but add his testimony to the
many who voneb for the truthfulness of the
foregoing narratiae, and drop a sincere tear
upon the grave of this pure and lovely lady,
whose spirit has left its kindred clay, and now
re-habitated in the glorious image of the
Saviour, and clad in spotless robes will dwell at
His right band forever.—Jfacon Ttltgraph.

Sojne tibi/i ago we announced
through the columns of the Athens
Georgian, that we would sell goods
as low as they could be laid down
Augusta, Savannah, Atlanta or
Charleston. Several times within the
past four weeks, parties from a dis
tance have sent to us for quotations
and at the same time, (as we after
wards learned) got quotations from
Atlanta and Augusta. Our figures
were not only as low but actually les
and we got the orders. We publish
these facts because we know it has
been customary heretofore for parties
wishing to buy in quantities to send
off for their supplies. This need be
done no longer. If you don’t believe
it, come and see. We have made a
regular revolution from the old mana
