Dropped Dead, On Tuesday of last week the sad intelligence reached here that J/r. James Tillet Henderson had dropp ed dead at his home in the north ern part of the county on the day before. Mr. Henderson was nearly 70 years old and had been troubled with heart disease for several years. On Monday of last week a cotton house containing 8 bales of cotton, caught on fire. Mr. Henderson with his family and other help i succeeded in putting it out after a considerable struggle. The ex citement and exercise brought on the old disease and Mr. Henderson dropped dead in a few minutes af ter the tire. Mr. Henderson came to Dooly, a young man, from Pulaski, where he was reared, in 1851. lie was a school teacher by adaptability and choice and taught in Dooly, Macon, Houston and Pulaski counties un til a few years ago when he was crippled in an accident on the railroad at Unadilla. All who ever knew him liked and greatly admired him for his pure Christian character and plain un assuming candor and dealings, for it can be truthfully said ol' him that he was one of “God’s noblest work, an honest man.” To a large family of boys and girls he lived to rear to man and womanhood he taught the same tenets of honesty-, candor, truthfulness, neighborli ness, kindness of heart and dispo sition and piety. He was the father of our'fellow- townsman, Col. D. L. Henderson, and in his death Dooly loses a cit izen that was a moulder of public opinion and character and whose life was a worthy example to all men. The good he did lives after him. iN sDavis *d Co. —COTTON FACTORS — Nos. 405 and 407 Poplar Street, MACON, GA.
