From the Blakely New*
Death of Col Sims.
At the September term, 1872, of the
Superior Court of Clay county, Arthur
Hood announced to the Court the death
of Col. Richard Sims. On motion, the
Court appointed AKhvtf Hood, Isaac E
Dwver, Herbert Fielder, E. L. Douglass,
Thomas F. Jones and Isaac A, Bush!
Esqrs., a committee, with instructions to
report at Early Superior Court.
In obedience thereto the committee ap
pointed to report & suitable tribute to the
memory of the late Col. Richard Sims, a
member of the bar of this circuit, submit
the following preamble and resolutions:
Col. Richard Sims Was born in Han
cock coilnty, Georgia, in the year 1818,
and died on the 29th day of August, 1872,
at his home in Bainbridge, in the 54th
year of his age.
Hte removed to Decatur county with his
father and family, when about 12 years of
age, and spent his early life in youthful
amusement and sport—not in cultivating
and developing that superior mind with
which Divine providence had so kindly
blessed him.
He was elected County Treasurer At the
age of 20 or 21 years, which office he faith
fully filled. Some time during his term
of office he commenced the .study of law
and wivs admitted to the bar at about the
age of 22 years. He commenced the prac
tice of his profession without much prom
ise, education, or money. But his untir
ing energy, perseverance and application,
supported by an tttiCommon memory, a
vigorous and discriminating mind, soon
rendered him conspicuous as a rising mem
ber of that profession, at the head of which
a few years later, and ever until his death,
he stood distinguished.
His political career was short, his time
and energies being devoted to his profes
sion. lie was elected to the legislature
from Decatur county in 1854, and perform
ed the duties of legislation with marked
integrity and ability.
When the disturbing elements of Seces
sion and Union were perplexing the pub
lic mind, he chose to bmfeark with the
South and share the fate of his country
men, and his country. He was sent to the
Secession Convention at Millodgeville, and
there his voice was for “Southern Free
dom and his services there, though sad
the result, were to that end. After the
war begun, he took part in its as
a patriot and soldier, holding the commis
sion of Colonel, and dignified and exalted
that position by his patriotic services.
A worthy Mason, of long standing, be
nevolent and humane, a friend to all man
kind, ho died the oldest member of that
fraternity on the list of his Lodge; and
was buried with its honors, leaving a re
cord Without a blot or a blur.
Hb was a member of the Presbyterian
Church, believing its faith—devout in his
nature and reverence to God.
Resolved, That this BAr and Court and
Vis country sustained an irreparable loss
and are bereft of one of their brightest
lights and most distinguished sous in the
death of Col. Richard Sims. But we
question not, nor comptaiA at the workings
v<f the omnipotent and Divine Ruler who
“docth all things well,” but humbly say,
“Thy will be done.”
Resolved, That the bereaved family of
our departed brother and friend, have our
heartfelt condolence and sympathy.
Resolved, That this report be entered
on the minutes of this Court and a copy
of the same transmitted to the family of
Cfil. Richard Sims, by the Clerk-.
Resolved, That the Early County News
and Bainbridge papers be requested to
publish the same.
The above preamble and resolutions
were unanimously adopted.
Terrible! Terrible!
We were very much pained yesterday,
on going into the street to learn that a
certain politician was very much “down in'
the mouth” about the Pennsylvania elec
tion. We bid him be of good cheer, for
Roseufeld has on hand a large and com
plete stock of domestics and prints, no
tions. hosiery, &c., which he is Selling at
Fabulously Ldw prices. He sells the best
calico at 11 cents. He has also reduced
the price of his dress goods ao that nb one
wishing to purchase can fail to do so, He
challenges the town to produce a sines As
sortment or to compete in prices.
His stock of ladies and gents boots and
shoes cannot be surpassed. H’g also has
on band a large supply of groceries in
cluding everything in that line.
We would advise the gents to go and
see his fine assortment of stylish hats, just
feceived.
In conclusion he begs us to inform house
keepers that he has a Agleridid stock of
crockery & glassware. In fact his stock
comprises everything that the eye or the
heart could wish for.
