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 tant question, “Are the United States a Nation?” Visitors will be wel come.

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.
