Ho resided In Athens, Georgia, tho greater portion of. his eventful and useful life, wliero wo wore born and lived until our twentieth year, and wo can say with truth, 'which every one who knew him can attest, that a hinder, nobler heart ed man never lived.

But ho isgouol—and that, too, nt a time whon his natlvp jjontli, which ho loved so well, needed most tho coun sels, aid and gnldnhoe of his great miud.
