OBITUARY.
Departed this life, August 26th,
1876—May Smith, daughter of Mr.,
and Mrs- iierschell E. Smith, of Jeffer-ij
son county, Ga.,—aged about one and 4
a half years and two weeks, J
Little May Smith was the lov .lecfe)
child I ever say. She was b&jgflH
| healthy and mirthful as acekMHHR
Me time of her ten day
she’ever cried or fffe’tted ;• a lovely,”'
harmless, smiling, cheerful good na
ture beamed from her eyes and coun
tenance althrough her short and happy
life.
Our Maker who gives life, has the
right to take it back wljen he chooses ;
and ho willed to take this lit’.e tender
plant that had jest bud le I—tills little
angelic cnerub—away from this world
t is world of troubre and soriow, wnere
bleak winds blow and tempest rage, and
transplant it ir. his paradi-e above,
where it may bloom in perennial sweet
ness th:ongii the lapse of eternal ages,
iiut it wutild be near the truth to say,
that little May was born in Heaven.
She was hurried at Ways Church on
a bright Sabbath mom, in the midsiyaf,
a beautiful grove, where cogs..
dais wave, amlfioweLf bloom, and
Spring bu&y carol their sweetest
iays.
for the last time on her
“Sweet 1 ttle form as she lay silent and
still in the collin. Her eyes were clos
ed rsifiu sleep, her face looked natur
al and beautiful as iii the full vigor of
life; in her right hand she held a bunch
of white piuks, emblem of moral purity.
Her doatiug parents with streaming
eyes gave her their last farewell kiss,
and then ail that was mortal oi little
May was consigned to the tomb to
await that gr.-atday, when God shall
call her body forth to rejoin that spirit
that is now happy in Heaven. Parents,
ii a short tiuio you will see little May
again, A. Fkiknd.

struik a cow, which by the force of the

at noon could have been. W e believe
she was chewing her cud.
Mr. Win Donovan is extending his
train road from his mill, into Emanuel

most unbroken belt of pine laud from
Williamson Swamp at vVa iley, to with
in six or eight miles of Swaiusboro.
He has a fortune m his reach, if the
price of timber ever advances so that
money tan be made by sawing it.

During this year, there have been de

an agricultural people.

In the issue of the 14’,h inst., of the

dressed to myself and recommending
me as a candidate for the position of
Oidinary (with my consent) by “Many
Voters.” 1 can but feel Haltered at the
relerencc made to myself in that no
tice which leaves me no alternative but
to reply. 1 have but to say that 1 havsu
had no idea oi appearing as ,u --efandi
date heretolore^luii-harvmg leeu solici
ted by a/uuiiii.er of good citizens (out
side of/this notice) to do so with their
"promised support, 1 have concluded to
become a candidate, and here announce
myself as such. I am in the field fairly
‘and squarely, and if elected, hope to at
tain that result through no improper
means and to fill the > tfiee in the same
spirit ol‘ candor and fair dealing.
1 have no claim of sympathy or any
thing of that kind to plead, no right of
tenure to office, only as that right is
vouchsafed on Democratic principles
of franchise.
Thanking those who have expressed
themselves so decidedly in my favor
and kindly desiring tho honest support
of a considerate public, I am as ever,
