Hugh McIntyre Dead. Sadder words we’ve rarely written “Hugh McIntyre is dead,” said the merchant behind his counter, said the lawyer and doctor in their offices, said many, yesterday marning,. os they passed along the street. And there was an unmistakable and genuine tinge of sadness in the tone of each and every one, when the sad words were uttered. On Tuesday night, after months of .wasting and weary struggling, the spirit lett the body, winging its flight to a brighter, better world. Hugh J. McIntyre was born on the 2nd of Mgy, 1850, born at the old homestead where he breathed his last. At the age of ten years he had ase vere attack of pneumonia/ from which he never fully recovered. After a preliminary course of study at Fletch er Institute, be entered the State Uni versity at Athens, where he graduat ed, in 1869, in the same clan with Emory Speer, Judges ffemmond, Adams, Van Epps, and others. The deceased was a most lovable charac ter. No man in Thomas county had more devoted friends. He was the very soul of honor. Gentle as a wo man, he was the embodiment of cour age, and a lofty chivalry which has left its impress' upon all who knew him. Firm iu his convictions, yet tolerant of the opinions of others, he never swerved from what ho thought to be the right. A member of‘the Presbyterian church, he walked the narrow way with a conscientious rectitude worthy of nH'imitntion, and left a shining ex ample of the upright Christian gentle man. As a husband, father, sou and brother, he exemplified, in eachjrela- tioD, those beautiful traits of charac tor which won every one to him. The world is better for him having lived in it. But his gentle, manly spirit, bos gone to reap the reward which ((waits the righteous. He had no fears 6f the future, but quietly dropped asleep, to awake in a world where death is unknown, Tho funeral will take place this morning from the Presbyterian church, at 10 o’clock, the interment following in Laurel Hill Cemetery.

Speaking of Miss Vislaire, who plays the leading port in “Under the Gas Light,” the Chronicle says: “She is a Southern girl, only 18 years old, and an orphan, but sho has good friends and a stout heart, and will succeed. This ik her first season ot the stage, and she is just entering Upon her fourth week as au actress, but despite her youthfulness, both in years and dramatic experience, her Work is clever, graceful and pleasing. Her home is in Mobile. Her father was a prominent man in Mississippi, and was once a candidate for governor of that state. She is of French de scent, and adds the piquancy and vi vacity of that race to the womauly grace and dignity of the well bred Southern girl.” ' Railroad Notes.
