Death of Mrs* C. Russ.
Again the Angel reaper has thrust
in his sickle, and gathered home
fully ripe for the harvert, thus sever
ing the chain that bound together the
most loving family it has ever been our
pleasure to be acquainted with. It is
consoling to feel that this link has been
placed on high, to lure the other mem
bers of the family heavenward.
The sad intelligence of the death of
Mrs. C. Rurs, consort of Mr. Hugh
Russ,on Saturday morning at 4 o’clock,
vailed our community in mourning at
the loss of one beloved by all. We
tend our heartfelt sympathy to the
grief stricken family.
Died.
At the residence of Mr. James Gray
near Carsonville on the 5th of June,
Mrs. Louisa Leonard, wife of Mr.
James Leonard, deceased, of Talbot
county, after a very short illness, be
ing sick only two days. It was a very
sudden death, as she was in Butler
ou Sunday before in good health. Her
many friends will be sad on hearing oi
her sudden demise.
Large sales indicate the* merits
of all good articles. Druggist sell
more of Dr.Bull's Baby Syrup than
of all other remedies for the cure
of Baby Disorders.
There is much sickness throughout
the county, mostly of a disinterry
character.
We will icmivin iu Butler this
week, aud it is positively our lust.
Respectfully,
.BRANTLEY & NORRIS.
Oh account of a slight spell of sick
ness of the publisher of this paper for
the past three days, we are very sorry
to say it has been somewhat, delayed.
Several important items lmvo ulso been
unavoidably left. out.
Crops in Crawford County
From a gentleman who has recently
visited Crawford county we learn that
the crops generally are very good.
He informed us that Col. Thomas
Rdines, near the river had a field of
cotton in which were eighty acres well
formed and would average half log
high. This statement speaks well for
Colonel Raines.
OBITUAKY.
It becomes our painful duty, to an
nounce the death of our much beloved,
and highly eefcaemod f«Tow citizen Mr.
JiS. Bartlett,who died after a long and j
willful illness of paralysis and dropsy, 1
at Iiis tesidouce nour Butler on Wednes
day night, at 11 o’clock, tins 4th inst.
In regard to the character of fcho de
ceased, we fool entirely inadequate to
puss any eulogy whatever, as ho was
too well known to the citizens of Tay
lor, and adjacent counties for our pen
to do his memory competent justice
He died where he had livqd for years,
and many knew him, and knew him to
be a just and honest man, practicing no
law, “but that the borrower is
servant to the lender.” Yet ho was
one that was over ready and willing to
extend mercy to others. Asa business
man, he was prompt in all his obliga
tions, ever keeping his credit tip, by
paying the money down. So there
was neither white or black, rich or poor,
who knew him that would have doubt
ed his word or honor.
Vigilent in all his business, ho accu
mulated considerable wealth. Fuithful
in all that was committed to his trust.,
he was uever put out of the stewartsliip.
As a husband, and father, wo have nevs
er seen any lack, nor heard any com
plaint. As a muster, be was kind and
indulgent, As a Christian, he was
baptized into the fellowship of the
Primitive Baptist church years ago.
But it is with regret that we accord that
ho was overtaken in a fault. But with
joy and confidence we announce that
by faith, he was enable to say “Get
thee behind me Satan,” which should
the more confirm our confidence in
him as a Christian, and moro especial
ly from that time forward, his orderly
wiili- daily, and Godly conversation.
Ah a benevolent and charitable man,
his acts knew no bounds in this and
rounding communities never say
ing to those who were cold, “be ye
irmed,” oi to those who were hun-
y “bn ye filled,” or to thoso who had
i d go and come again when he had
by him. But all of his acts in this
sp< ct manifested that he had the love
of God in his heart. So in conclusion,
we can only say, that the widow, the
relatives, the church at Bethel, the
town of Butler, the community feels
that we have suffered a loss that is ir-
repnirable. In the language of M.
Vernon, when the father of his country
died.
' ’Where shall our community turn its eye,
What help remains boucath ihosky;
But 'tin Go 1 that has bereft us.
Bere our loss we deeply feel,
But lie enn all our sorrows heal.
Then to the widow, realatives,church
^rnd community, we tender our heart
felt sympathy, hoping from many evi
deuces that our loss is bis eternal gain

The national Complaint.

Almost every otecr man or woman

They are for tho most part worthless.

Who is Responsible ?
Being the recipient of a cordial
invitation to atteud n pic-nio at
Sh'-hoea mill, on the ,Vh inst., of
course turned out in full b usb. Ar
riving 10:10. A. M., just in time
to find—well — u jovial, cheerful,
fascinatin': crowd consisting of self,
an important character you discov
er, aud friend C., who accompani
ed cue.
Mr. Editor, did you over con
template an excursion for weeks,
with selections of company made
and joys almost unspeakably antic
ipated, then at tho eventful hour
to just be in time to be too late for
the train with bought to console
you save the fast receding roar of
the mighty steam horseP Well,
if you have been so unfortunate,
recall your feelings of that moment
and I'll refrain describing those of
a disappointed pic-nic participant.
It is a part of ray nature not to
be foiled in toto, unless as is often
the case, 'tis impossible to devise
a cure, then I simply endure, still
to ascertain the why's and where
fore's, I determined to see my fair
invitor and find what feasible ex
cuse if tiny prevented the appear
ance of the Butlerites. To my * n-
tiro satisfaction, no blame whatever
rested on anyone, though ft was
intimated, that the getter-up, or
the principal one to get it up saw
the unenviable position he would
place himself in, by keeping things
in the even “tenor of their way”
between two, whose hearts under
such circumstances could not “beat
as one.” In short he feared that
green-eyed monster, so r< ady to
prey upon the vitals of true love,
would be unmistakably manifested
by too close associations between
Miss his idolized of B
and the country queen, Mi«s
of the mill. Judicious step friend
G. Let others do as they ruay,
your head's level on this 8 ’ore.
I fear B., is infested witli a ma
nia similar to other localities, Rey
nolds not excepted,known as contra-
rinesst perhaps this had something
to do with the failure, I hope not
however. One thing 1 do know,
the writer felt kinder in spots at
the mill, but such feelings passed
off before 7 P. M., under the peu-
glauces of Misses well ask
\V. J. G., next doo-. By the way
if any body under disappointment
needs sympathy he (W. J. G.)
certain ly does, for he it understood
while I rode twelve miles to meet
my chagrin, he walked twelve to
meet the same late. Ohl isn’t it
lovely to contemplate. But we’ll
hear it manfully, for all is fair in
love and war.
Now, Mr. Editor, some one is
to blame, not to pacify me do I
contend this; but some body is to
blame, and if facts have been stat
ed as they really exist and not as
we desire, please say who is respon
sible? 1 am satisfied if others
for ungrateful would ho be who
would fail or refuse to accept' tin
delights eujoyed from 5 to 7 P. M
on the 5th as satisfactory atone
ment for the unluckiness of the day.
1 am ready for another pic
at ShGhee’s—a moment’s notice
only requisite.
