Slrrine, an old citizen of Anurlcus and the organizer of Wide-Awake Fire Company,died at his home In Sanford, Fla., on De cember Hull. Capt. Slrrine was one of the oldest settlers of our city,and for a tong time Mayor. All of the pretty water-oaks around the pub lic square were planted by bis own band He was an enterprising cit izen. and hi" death Is very much regretted by Ills many friends in his old home. The Sanford Fla. Journal publishes the following ac count of bis life: “Died, December l!dh, 181)0, Win. Slrrine, aged 68 years. “Captain Win. Slrrine, than who in no man was more loved and respected in the community which he lived, wns born In (be town of Danbury, Ct., on the 28th day of September 1 s —. He Jived there until 1840 and was there mar rled to bis flrst wife, but failing health drove him southward. In deed the dread ultimatum weut forth that to stay iu bis native state meant death. He was carried on board a schooner and there seemed but little hope that he would ever live to see the fair Southland to ward which she sailed, but be ral lied and before many months the balmy air bad done Its jieallng work and the weakened lungs grew strong If not whole. "He settled first iu Macon and there bis wife died, leaving behind two little ones, a boy and girl, tbe latter of whom long since followed her mother. From Macon he went to Americus and there wooed and won Miss Augusta Glass, whom he married December 23rd, 1855. Theirs was a most happy marriage and years have but made stronger the golden links which bound them and the last word he uttered was a term of endearment for the devoted wife, who during the sad weeks of suffering rarely left his side even for needed rest. Two daughters blessed this union, one of whom has slept these many years In God’s acre where Saturday they laid her father beside her. “Jn Americus Capt. Slrrine es tablished carriage works und be ‘‘When he passed away the sor row was universal. At the hour of his funeral every business house in the town was closed and a large concourse followed, him to the grave. The mayor and members of the city council, the Arc depart ment and the leading olllolals of the railroads as well as business men were all present.

He was elected mayor and filled tbe office' with honor. He organized the fire department and was commissioned to buy the engine and other parphenalia. He gave most liberally toward tbe eB tablialimeut and malntainance of the Masonic Female College at that place. Indeed he was ever to the fore when it came to a question of Improvement, and when he left Americus |he was universally re gretted. When ;tho war broke out he weut to the front In command of a company of the boys In grey and made an enviable record as a gal lant soldier, but being severely wounded was sent home. “Eighteen years ago he came to Florida, and on Golden Lake built a home for his family. Ten years ago he moved into Hanford, and here, as In Americus, raaue his 'In fluence felt. Previous to moving into town be .had been appointed Justice of tbe Peace, which office he held until his death. He also served one term as Mayor. He was one of the prime movers In the or guitlzatlon of the Are department, and perhaps among lus truest mourners are the fire laddies cf the city, for whom he had always pleasant and encouraging word. “Up to the date he was stricken down Capt. Hirrlne, although fee ble In body, was bright mentally and was ever ready when the occa sion demanded action or advice. Fearless in speech, no man was more respected than he and no man possessed more influence, not only among the better clifss but among those in the humbler walk of life. In his vocation as Justice of the Peace he had many dealings with the criminal class and oft- times so tempered justice with mercy that he saved those just starting on n downward course from deeper sin. There was a side of his nature of which tbe outer world knew nothing and that was the charitable side, which we who knew him best, loved. He was ever ready to help tho affilcted and saw the better side of all. Unkiud words W“re often rebuked by him and his wns the charity which cov- ereth a multitude bf sins. “On the Tth of October he was stricken with paralysis, the second attack. He suffered much but was patient to tho end. Everything that love could suggest was done to make bis last hours easier. Uuto the very end he was never left to the care of the menials. Wife, sis ter, child and friends were by tils side, day after day, night after night, and whenever bis eyei opened they met loving glance*. left -(ill one ire of I*. '. Parta .ter, Miss Jimmie Glass. T here is also the Captain's son, George .Sirrine, who was kept ■ from his father's bedside by a sick wife. Surcease from grief will never conic to those who loved the lost one so well, but there will sure ly come to them the peace which parse til all understanding, for they are of those who carry all sorrow to Jesus, and ns the years roll by they will learn to think more calmly of the loss of him who fearlessly cross ed the swelling tide and waits for them upon the other shore.” Overcoming Prejudice. Prejudice is a sad trait of human nature. A person whose mind is bent on bias does himself great in justice. Haida sick man, whose blood seemed on Are from tbe ef- fects of blood poison: I can’t help my prejudice; 1 have tried a half a dozen remedies, and they did me no good. I be lieve all blood purifiers are hum' buge.” “Do you believe all physi- clans are humbugs, too?” asked the writer. “Yes, for I have tried three different doctors, and only grew worse uuder their treatment. I have made up my mind my case Is incurable and death Inevitable.” Howeyer, the writer, who wns t friend to the suffering Individual at last succeeded In overcoming bis prejudice and persuaded him to give Dr. John Bull's Barsaparilla a trial. He commenced Its use with no faith at all, hut good effects soon followed, and its continuance brought complete relief. Reader, go thou and do likewise.—Inde pendence Press.
