Death of Father Williams.
On Sunday, January 4th, 1880, at
9:21 o’clock, p. m., Joseph Williams
died at the residence of his son-in**
law Judge Thomas Stokely, aged 99
years, 7 menths and 13 days. The
deceased was so well known in this
community that any sketch of his
life would aot be news to us; but so
remarkable a man deserves at his
death more than passing comment.
A mere statement that he was born
on May 22, 1780, and died January 4,
1880, would of itself be a wonderfuj
biography. “The days of our years,’
we are told in one of the grandest of
inspired passages, “are three-score
years and ten; ’ and yet here 19 a
man who survived three generations.
In olden days, this would have been
a life of but ordinary length ; but sta
tisticians now tell us that the ave rage
of human life is thirty-three years.
How replete with honors is that life
which triples its average, and silvers
the revered locks of its possessor with
a century of winter’s snows!
The subject of this sketch was born
in Surrey county, North Carolina, on
the date above mentioned, May 22,
1880.
When he was eight years old, his
father moved to Tennessee, then a
territory, and settled in Hawkins
county. Young Williams here learn
ed the trade M stone mason, in addi
tion to which lie engaged in farming.
In 1806, he then being twenty-six
years of age, he married Margaret
Smith, of Henry county, Virginia,
soon after which he moved from
Hawkins to Rhea county, Tennessee,
where he lived a farmer’s life until
April, 1828. At that time, he left
Rhea county and the state of Tenes*
see and moved to Newnan, in Cowe
ta county, Ga., where he lived, earn
ing his livelihood by the toil of his
trade until 1867. In 1814 he was con
\terted, at the age o! 34 years, and
joined the Methodist church, of
which he has been a faithful and
useful member ever since. On the
29th of March, 1347, his first wife
and the mother of all his children,
died. He afterwards married a Miss
Duncan, of Coweta, who has preced
ed him to “that undiscovered coun
try.” On February 5,1867, he moved
to Cartersville, where he resided un
til his death.
Father Williams was an old-time
whig and warmly devoted to his
party. He, however, was no politi
cian and had no aspirations of that
sort. He never belonged to any so
ciety, or, indeed, organization of any
kind, except the church.
• Until recently, his health was re
markably good for one of his years.
Up to a few weeks ago, he walked
about the streets, conversed with his
friends upon the current topics of the
day, and appealed to eDjoy life with
i relish that is characteristic of ani
mal vigor* For the last two weeks
of his life, he was confined to his
room, and it soon became evident
that the old wheels of life, which
had run so long almost without a
jar, were nearly worn out. During
hife last illness, and, indeed, for sev
eral years past, he had expressed
himself ready to go whenever it
should please the Great Judge to send
the summons. Many called to see
him just to hear his strong, full ex
pressions of faith and trust in the
Lord, and never left him without
feeling elevated by the contact of
Christian thought into a nobler walk
and conversation. Sometime, with
the tears rolling down his aged
cheeks, he would tell of that Hope
which, in the flower and pride of his
young manhood, dawned upon him,
filling his heart with peace, and joy,
and love; how it had lit up many
dark and gloomy places in his life, a
lamp to his feet and a light to his
pathway. And that Hope, coming
as It did from him who said “I will
never leave thee nor forsake thee,”
did not fail him when the time-worn
feet had reached the river; and, full
of a faith, strong as the weight of
trusting years could make it, he lay
down at last, like a weary child that
cries for rest, to “sleep in Jesus.”
At the house of Judge Stokely, a
large number of friends and acquain
tances met to pay the last said hon
ors to the deceased. After prayer by
Rev. R, B. Headden, Rev. P. M.
Ryburn read the burial service, and,
after singing an appropriate hymn,
Rev. Messrs. Ryburn and T. E.
Smith made fitting remarks to an as
semblage deeply impressed with the
solemnity of the occasion. The body,
followed oy a long procession of peo
ple who felt honored in honoring the
dead, was carried to the city ceme
tery and laid away, till the centuries
are all numbered.
A w’onderful life, this, Wonderful
for its length; wonderful for all It
had seen; wonderful, because it last
ed so long in the most wonderful part
of yet-made history. Think of iti
He was a prattling babe while Wash
ington’s sword, unsheathed, was
dripping in blood of foes hostile to
colonial independence. When this
wonderful 19th century was a baby,
he was a grown man. At the time
when this country was thrown into a
feve beat of excitement by the duel
between Burr and Hamilton, he was
just old enough to feel the enthusiasm
of that dueling spirit so prevalent In
that day. In the war of 1812, he wa.*
just verging into manhood’s prime.
When he was half a century old, he
was living in this section of country,
surrounded by native Indians. He
was over fifty years old before an en
gine’s whistle ever startled a rural
Pi ft. ir-.fi 17ft voarfi of hia
life had rolled away before the world
thought enough of its women to be
gin to educate them. Almost three
quarters of a century had stamped
his brow with wrinkles before men
chained the lightning and made it
obey their behests. He was an old*
old man when Sumter fell. He has
seen great men rise, flourish, die and
be forgotten. He engaged in youth
ful sport with men whose grandsons
are in their graves. Where will we
find a more eventful life?
But the “inevitable hour” has
come at last. The heart that beat so
long in still. The grain, full ripe
and golden, has fallen at the reaper’s
hand* It would be idle to offer con
solation to the bereaved relatives.
That must come from the loving
hand of that God, who was the rock
and fortress of the good old man.
The Cartersville Lyceum.
The above named institution held
its last meeting on Monday night
last, and debated the question, “Was
the execution of Major Andre justi
fiable ?” Messrs. Moon, Smith, At
taway, Johnson and Wikle partici
pated in the interesting discussion;
after which, Mr. J. C. Hendon read
an instructive essay on “ Debating
Societies.” That being election night
J. M. Moon was elected president,
J. C. Hendon, vice-president, T. M.
Smith, secretary, and M. L. John
son, treasurer, each officer to serve
two months.
It would really surprise one who
had never seen the “Lyceum” in
session before, to hear the young
gentlemen in their discussions. They
succeed surprisingly well. They
will on next evening, Monday, Jan
uary 12th, discuss the now all-impor

—Exposition of 1876. Wandering through the
United States section of this truly wonderful
Exhibition, byperornamented and over-dis
played as the most of it is, I came upon an ele
gant glass case, whose modesty was the more
conspicuous from its neighbors' finery, sur
mounted by the motto Dignis Prctmia and dis
playing, in neat packages, the medical pre
parations of the house of Dr. J. C. Ater & Cos.
Lowell, Mass.
I was aware of the world-wide reputation of
this eminent firm, for the character and quali
ty of their goods, and remember well their
agents in London, Messrs. Newberry, in St.
Paul’s Churchyard. Having a leisure hour, I
determined to examine the contents of this
case, myself, and I was surprised to see the del
icate perfe-ction to which they have brought
their household remedies. I was chagrined at
the reflection that, while we have at home the
most skilful and,pre-eminently, the best physi
cians in the world, these Yankee doctors dis
tance us so fa'in the line of popular medicines
for family use. They have the sharpness to
take advantage of the high scientific discover
ies among us and make pills and potions as
palatable as they are salutary. I was told by
a leading druggist in Philadelphia, that Dr.
Ayer’s manufactory was the largest in Ameri
ca, giving employment to hundreds. I must go
to Lowell and see it, on my way home.—#orr<?-

Guilty of Wrong.
Some people have a fashion of confusing ex
cellent remedies with the large mas 9 of “pat
ent medicines,” and in this they are guilty of
a wrong. There are some advertised remedies
folly worth all that is asked for them, and one
at least we know of—Hop Bitters. The writer
has had occasion to use the Bitters in just such
a climate as we have most of the year iu Bav
City, and has always found them to be first
class and reliable, diing all that is claimed for
them.— Tribune.
