On last Sunday evening, at the close of
ti lovely spring day, and just a* the sun
ceased to shed his hallowing rays upon the
'blooming earth, the brittle thread of life
\vas clipped, and the spirit of Lee Linder,
Esq., passed fnpm tune to eternity, in the
3‘Jth year of his age. He was born in
Spartanburg District. S. 0., on the 20th
day of September, 1841, and died April
18th, 1880. In his youth his parents
moved to this county, where they have re
sided ever since. Just at the outbreak of
the late war he graduated at Furman
University, Greenville. S. 4’., hut imme
diately volunteered in Capt. W. K. Poole's
company of the 15th Georgia Regiment.
After serving for a time, he retired from
service for a short poriod, on account of
failing health. As soon as his health would
admit he again volunteered in Rutledge's
Riflemen, which afterwards became Cos.
B, of the 7th South Carolina Cavalry Regi
ment, under the command of Col. A. C.
Haskell, and with this command he was
engaged in active service in Virginia until
the close of the war. Just at the termina
tion of the war he received a wound in the
left hand, which necessitated an ampul*
.tion of the left arm. After the war via.
ended U was married to Miss Louisa M.l
Webb, of this county, who, together with]
four children, are left in sadness over this]
most heart-rending bereavement. In the]
fall of 1880 he embarked in the mercantile
business in Hartwell, in which business he
was mainly engaged until a short time be-l
fore his death. At the March term, 1877.
of the FI art Superior Court, having pre ]
pared himself in the law, he was admitted
to the Bar, and he was making splendid
success in the practice of his profession.
He had been serving several years in the
office of Magistrate in this Militia District,
and discharged the duties of the office with
marked ability, and a fairness and impar
■ uality that left no room for criticism from
even the most censorious. The deceased
was a consistent member of the Msthodist
church, of Hartwell, for the last thirteen
years of his life, aud during his last sick
ness gave indications that he was prepared
to cross over the cold stream and enter into
the joys that await the righteous. There
is a time appointed unto all men to die.
but when the grim messenger comes and
strike; down nobje manhood, scarcely be
fore it reaches life's meridian, and plunges
bereaved relatives and friends in sorrow,
there *is a working of Providence, mys
min# <a u . jMter 0 1 v £" d Jte
that that hand will support the sorrowing
wife and little children.
The writer was proud to rank the de
ceased among his warmest friends, and
from a close intimacy and friendship fol
years, we can say that beneath an ap
parently cold exterior there beat a warm,
faithful and true heart. We never asked
a favor but he readily granted it, and in
his practice as a lawyer he ever evinced
that professional courtesy so much to be
appreciated and commended in the legal
fraternity. l>ut we will
"Seek no fai ik'r bin merits to difttlose,
Or draw his frailties from ibeir ilimd abode i

On Monday evening Rev. W. A. Fariss
preached an impressive funeral sermon ai
the Methodist church to a large congrega
tion, after which the remains were borne
to the Cemetery, and there deposited in
their last testing place.
The future, outlook for our town and
county is very gratifying indeed. When we
look around us and seo the evidences of
prosperity and improvement that is going
ou upon every hand, we are impressed that
a happy and prosperous future is in store
for our people. The hammers of the
workmen are ringing from morning till
night, and new buildings are springing up
as if by magic. All good carpenters arc
finding plenty of work to do at good
wages. All over the country the industri
ous masses are putting forth their strong
est efforts and are displaying an industry
perhaps never before equalled in the his
tory of our county. With anything like
favorable seasons, we confidently predict
the most prosperous year in the memory
of our people. With these facts, and the
further fact that we are now supplied with
a home market, we think the outlook
cheering. Our people do not have to go
now any further than their own county
site to obtain what they need at the very
bottom prices, or to dispose of what they
have to sell. They can there trade with
people they know and men they feel sure
will do just right by them. In view ot
this, the pcogje of this county are avail
ing themselves of such advantages, and
are trading at home, and even people in
South Carolina and surrounding counties
are being drawn to this point on account
of the unprecedented advantages offered.
5n truth, those who try to underrate Hart
-wcl! as a business point, might as well
just shut up, because the people are not
so easily duped, and really find out b}
•experience that they can make better bar
gains here at home thau they can with for
cjgners, even in a great many more lino
than that of guano. Besides, it is a rule
of evidence that a witness who is false in
ooe thing is presumed false in all. Now.
applying this rule, if Hartwell merchants
sell guanos cheaper than they are sold at
other points, it is presumable that they of

Three candidates are out in Franklin
county for Tax Collector.
A terrific explosion of giant gunpowder
occurred at SanTrancisco on the lflth, in
which twelve white men and fifteen China
men were instantly killed.
Hon. A. H. Stephens’ health is not
good. It is said that he does not think be

he is preparing a reply to Gordon.
The Carnesville Register says it ha* the
authority for saying that Rer. J. C. Jack
son, of Habersham county, will be a can
didate in this district in the coming Sena
torial race.
Rob Toombs thinks that if Tildeu is
nominated by the Democrats, and Grant
by the Republicans, that Grant will carry
Georgia by 70,000 majority. Bob is not a
prophet, nor the son of a prophet, neither
can he predict—with any remarkable de
gree of certainty.
It ia currently rumored in political sir
cles North, that Mr. Tilden has written a
lettor, to be read at tho New York Slat#
Democratic Convention, at Syracuse, de
claring that he will not be a candidate foi
the Presidency, giving as a reason his de
clining health, aDd a desire to promote
harmony and success. Speakor Randall
does not think it is true.
As an evidence of how the negroes are
oppressed by the whites in South Carolina,
wo call the attention of the “Great Esst
|ern” philanthropists to the action of a
[colored amateur circus troupe in Ander-
Lson, S. C., last week. They gave an exhi
[bition, and donated the proceeds, which
(was a considerable amount, to the new
(white Presbyterian church, now being
(constructed at that place.
1 Bob Toombs is not in favor of Tilden.
He said the other day to a newspaper cor
respondent : “Tilden does not possess the
right sort of courage to be the nominee of
the Democratic part)'. He was elected
four years ago, and ought to have taken
his seat in spite of the Senate, the electoral
bill, or the devil."
Just at this time there is nothing of]
political significance worthy of attention.]
The pent up clouds are withholding their]
fury. No doubt the intriguing politician is]
studying the situation and estimating the
chances. At any rate the ball will be
opened ero long, and the storm burst forth.
This is a political year. Lines are to be
drawn, campaigns to be waged, aud farce*
lo be mar.dialed. Middle of the summer
will be sufficiently soon for the campaign
to open in dead earnest. Until then as

North Groxgla ou General Gartrell.
Dolton Citizen.
Wo hoist at our mast head to-day the
name of this able and distinguished Geor
gian as a candidate for Governor, subject
to the action of the State Democratic Con
vention. We have advocated his nomina
tion for many months and aro now more
thoroughly satisfied than ever that he is
the right man for the place, and that the
people want him for their chief executive
officer.
General Gartrell has not presented him
self forward for office, but on more than
one occasion, since the war. he has with
drawn his name, even when the people
desired to promote him. for the sake of the
harmony of the Democratic party and the
success of its principles. He is a Demo
crat upon principle, and believes that a
thorough organization of the party is ne
cepsary to the success of those principles
of government of which he has been the
able and earnest advocate for the last
thirty years. Although a Democrat, if
elected Governor ho would administer the
State government not as a partisan, but for
the benefit of the whole people.
He lias filled many important positions
of public trust, and in them all has dis
charged his duties with entire satisfaction
to his constituents. As Solicitor-General
of the Northern Judicial Circuit, as mem
ber of the legislature from his native
cotinty of Wilkes, as momherof the United
States Congress before and up to the war.
as member of the Confederate Congress,
where he held the important and honorable
place of Chairman of the Judiciary Com
mittee. and as a member of the Constitu
tional Convention of 1877. he displayed
ability and statesmanship that command
alike the respect of the country and the
approbation of the people. An able writer
speaks of him truthfully as follows: “Ac
tively observant of political affairs, posses
sed of talents of the highest order, true to
every trust, popular among the people,
kind and charitable to the poor, outspoken
on all subjects of public interest, an un
compromising patriot, in friendship true,
candid and unswerving, with an energy
and fixedness of purpose that quails before
no opposition, General Gartrell is one of
Georgia's best and ablest men.”
Such is the man we present to Georgians
for their suffrages, and they will delight to
honor him. for they know he is honest,
capable and faithful. Possessed of a
thorough knowledge of the law, he would
make no mistakes in its administration ;
recognizing the fact that all public officers
are but the agents and servants of the peo
ple, he would industriously and constantly
labor for the public weal and not his own ;
scrupulously honest and faithful, he would
see to it that the public money was neither
wasted by extravagance nor lost by care
lessness. In a word, having known him
for the past thirty years, we feel confident
he would devote lus entire time and atten
tion to the responsible duties of his office
and would make a Governor of whom all
Georgians would be proud.
Though General Gartrell is our first
choice for this responsible position, we will,
nevertheless, cordially support any other
man the Democratic Convention, in its
wisdom, may select.

Atlanta Constitution : The boom is not
over simply because iron and other staple
articles are going down—nothing of the
kind. The wild reaction from hard times
is over, and prices are simply settling
down to a reasonable and satisfactory ba
sis. When iron, for example, was shoved
up from sl6 to $42 a ton in less than a
year, people who use iron simply waited,
and stocks accumulated. Pig-iron was
therefore marked down at Pittsburg last
week $lO a ton. People will not pay
out good money unless they get a fair
equivalent, and if speculation and the
boom carry prices beyond reason, they
wait patiently until the price ceases to be
excessive. We have reached the common
-ense period of a prosperous ora.
Savannah News : We are pained to-day
to record one of the most terrible and dis
tressing accidents that has occurred in this
vicinity for many years, an accident that
called’ forth deep, heartfelt sympathy
wherever it was known. Yesterday after
noon, Mr. D. B Hull, accompanied by
his wife and little daughter. Stella, aged
about eight years, was out driving on the
Thunderbolt road in his buggy. The little
girl was sitting at the foot of the buggy,
near the dash board, chatting with her
parents, when the unfortunate accident
occurred. The horse, it seems, is quite
spirited, and when gently tapped with the
whip gave a savage kick, clearing the
dash-board, his hoof striking little Stella,
whose head was resting near the dash
board. on the left temple, fracturing the
skull and driving the bone into the brain.
Given no by Doctors.
“Is it possible that Mr. Godfrey is up
and at work, and cured by so simple a
remedy?”
" I assure you it is true that he is en
tirely cured, and with nothing but Hop
Bitters ; and only ten days ago his doctors
gave him up and said he must die !”
“ Well-a-day ! That is remarkable! I
will go this day and get some for my poor
George—l know hops are good.”
