On Monday morning Mr. J. F. McKib
ben received a telegram from McDon
ough that his father was growing rapidly
worse. He hurried to hi* bedside, and
was there when the good old man died
at 5 o’clock in the evening.
Mr. John McKibhen was a citizen of
Henry county, and was as instrumental
in making old Tussahaw district famous
as the banner rural district of tlie county,
as any other living man. Tussahaw,
though not pretty in orthography, is full
of poetry and sweet recollections to any
one who ever lived among its hospitable
and chivalrous people, and Mr. John
McKibben was the “noblest Roman of
them all. But be has fallen. “What a
fall was there, my countrymen!” The
writer was a neighbor to him foryears,
and has many times been the recipient
of his unsophisticated and known gener
osity. He never had anything too good
for a neighbor, and bis very life seemed
pledged to the security of the depend
ent ones in his settlement. No man ever
thought of buying a tool, either agricul
tural or mechanical, that “Uncle John
nie” had, for he knew he could borrow
it. He leaves a wife and two noble sons,
Si., of McDonough, and Frank, of our
town, and many other relatives and
friends to mourn his loss. We, in com
mon with all our people, sympathize
with the bereaved ones.
