'Yesterday afternoon, Mr. J. I>.
Anchors, of Jones county, came in
to the city to purchase » casket of
Undertakers Wood <fc Bond, for the
remains of Mr. Edward Uiount.
Tho story' connected with the
death of Mr. Blount, is distressing,
ly sad.
Tho deceased was about 55 years
old, and a brother of Judgo David
D. Blount, and half brother wo be
lieve, of Congressman Jns. 11.
Blount. He was living on tbe
Blount plantation, near Haddocks
station, was a bachelor and lived a
retired life in a house which he oc
cupied alone. Frequently he made
visits off from Ik n,e and would
gone for several weeks, hence,
last disappearance excited no
picion, for it was supposed that
hail taken one of his trips.
Yesterdayfinortilng tho startling
discovery was made that he was
dead. We have been unable to
learn tho full particulars of tho find
ing of tho lifeless body', but, wo un
derstand, that parties who were at '
tractod to the house, had to break
down tho door in order to effec t an
on trance, The body was found in a
vory advanced stage of decomposi
tion, almost unrecognisable, sug
gesting tho belief that be had been
dead almost two weeks with
out any knowledge of its Icing
know to any one. No suspicion of
foul play i» suspected, but it is
thought that Mr. Blount died
natural causes. It is said that he
was last seen about 10 or 12 days
before his dead body was found.
The casket for the remains was
shipped ihWWrniugcn the Angus
ta train. The burial will take place
on tho plantation in Jones county,
