had reason to be protl 1 of her sen,
for he was kind and loving end re
garded her wants and kept himself
pure and unspotted from the world.
He was Ci n verted when a bout seven
years old and soon after joined the
M. E Church South. Io the year
1836 he married Miss Priscilla Tur

ful woman, proving to be the very
one he needed to help him through
the troubles and trials of life. In
the year 1851 he moved to Georgia,
and the people of Geoigln gladly
welcomed them, for they proved to
be a great blessing to the commun
ity in which they lived. As a citi
zen he was a man that tbe people
looked to for counsel and wisdom;
he was also a faithful member of
the church, having been a steward
for over sixty years.

Editor News Hfid Sun :—Please
allow tne spaOe in your valuable
paper to return my heartfelt thanks
to those good people who on yester
day so willingly contributed money
to buy provisions for an old sick
Confederate veteran. One who has
several battle SoaiM, Which bo dis*-',

I Yeftd to him the ’hkinea of fae con
ttibritorp, seen the big tears and his
thankful face ae he lay on his bed
of affliction trying to thank me,
they would have been more than
repaid for their little amounts.
Not a single gentleman refused to
give the little amounts asked for,
which certainly speaks well for our
good oitizmsHip. We have but
done our outy in this case. It is to
be hoped ’hat no worthy old vater
an will smff«r in his last days for
want- of attention, though they may
be too proud to beg or even let their
wants be known It is our duty to
