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, --Macon Mows. ITEMS OF IMilHST.
