Cie>. IVothird's Death.
Notwithstandihg Gen. Wofford’s
long and critical illness, and the fact
that he had for many days been ly
ing almost at the very brink of the
grave, the announcement of his death
on last Friday morning cast univer
sal gloom over our entire communi
ty, and to-day Cherokee Georgia is
mourning the loss of one of her truest
and most distinguished citizens, and
the state that of one of her most pa
triotic and gallant sons.
His remains were interred in the
cemetery at Cassville, by the side of
his first wife, at 11 o’clock on last
Saturday. In compliance with a
request made by him some time
vious to his death, he was buried
with only a simple Christian service,
Rev. Theo. E. Smith officiating.
The large concourse of sorrowing
friends that followed his remains to
their last resting place, testified the
tender affection and high regard in
which he was held.
The chief elements in Gen. Wof
ford’s life were charity and human
sympathy, which impelled him to
help tLe poor and lowly, to cheer
and encourage the struggling, to lift
up and succor the weak, and to de
lend and protect the friendless at and
oppressed, and he labored hard to
give expression to this charity and
human sympathy.
Both as a citizen and neighbor, be
well merited the high esteem and re
gard in which he was held. Asa
patriot and soldier his gallantry in
the Mexican war and the lato war be
tween tho states sufficiently attest,
and their annals will accord him im
perishable fame.
We extend our deep sympathies to
the bereaved wife and daughter in
their hour of great affliction.
(In a few weeks we will give an
extended biographical sketch of Gen-
Wofford.)

On last Wednesday the community
in and around Stegall’s Station held
their annual picnic. To any one who
has ever had the pleasure of attend
ing one of these gatherings, it would
be unnecessary to say that it was a
great success and one of the most de
lightful events of the season, for
they are uever failures, and this peo
pie are proverbial for their lavish
and profuse hospitality.
These gatherings are not confined
to the young people, whose tnougnts
are turned to thoughts of love as
gentle spring approaches ; but there
you fiud the romping, rollicking
children, the cooing babe in the
nurse’s arms, mothers and grand
mothers, sires and grandsires—and
they not only bring in the richest
abundnace of the substantial and del
icacies for the board, but they come,
leaving all care of business behind,
in a spirit of friendship and love to
spend a day of happy recreation. It
was just such an assemblage as does
one’s soul good to look upon. In
deed much good is often accomplish
ed by just such comings together—
and we would be glad to see every
community in the county adopt a
custom of this kind, of once a year
laying aside all little differences and
meet together in a friendly way and
enjoy a day of absolute freedom from
all the cares and trouble that so often
beset us.
Capt. J. N. Dobbs, C>l. C. M.
Jones, Mr. John Stegall and Mr.
James A Jefferson take much inter
est in making these annual meetings
a success, and to them we are indebt
ed for much of the pleasure we en
joyed on that occasion.

We would specially call the atten
tion of our readers to the double
column advertisement now appear
ing in the American. That the In
ternational Railroad and Steamship
Company of Florida will be a graud
success financially, is already put be
yond peradventure. W e know of no
wiser or safer investment of our peo
ple’s money than in these bonds that
are now, for the first time, put upon
the market. The bonds themselves
are worth their face value, and in
addition to the one hundred dollar
bond, each purchaser of this amount
will receive a fee simple title to foity
acres of very desirable Florida lands
Of course the whole body of land
could be sold without advertising,
and without much ado, to some
wealthy syndicate, but the idea is to
parcel out the land to individuals,
and, in this w’ay, to encourage immi
gration.

The Rereptiei Last Night.
Tt?v. and Mr?. F. M. Daniel cele
brated the twentieth anniversary of
their married life last evening at
their residence on Market street. It
was one of the most elegant and de
lightful occasions ever enjoyed in
Carter svi lie.
At 8 o’clock a large number of the
members of the Firs; Baptist church,
and many of our people who are not
members of that church, began to as
semble, and until midnight the house
was tilled with delighted guests.
The weather was unfavorable, ytt
nearly two hundred people paid their
respects to Mr. and Mrs. Daniel dur
ing the evening. The reception com
mittee composed Misses Isa Williams,
Marion Daniel, Nelia Alley and Lil
lie Williams, made all visitors feel
welcome, and allowed no one to be
overlooked or neglected.
Mr. und Mrs. Daniel wero looking
young and happy, and received the
congratulations of their friends in the
most cordial manner. They appear
ed almost as young, and equally as
happy as if this had been their wed
ding day. They both look remark
ably well preserved to have been
married twenty years, and give
promise of living to celebrate their
“golden wedding.”
The supper was under the manage
ment of the ladies of the church, and
refreshments were served to every
caller. We have rarely ever seen a
more sumpSu >us or varied display of
good things to eat than was spread
last night. Salads, meats, pickles,
fruits, ice cream, lemonade, ambrosia,
aDd cakes of every imaginable kind
were lavishly furnished to the guests.
The table was a model of beauty, and
