Cant. Win. 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.

‘‘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. Funeral ser

A SHOW “ASe CO., Atlanta, to
come thoroughly identified with
the place. 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*.

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

The following appeal has been
sentTitE Recorder for publication.
There are many In Americus who

ally respond.
Savannah, Dec., 1890.
Mrs. MargaretWade, Mrs. Henry
Taylor, Mrs. Florance Gardner and
Miss R. G. Manis having visited
he Confederate Cemetery at Win
chester, Va., were grieved to find
that the ladles who had so tender
ly cared for the “Georgia Lot” had
ordered bead stones to be erected,
which would be put up without let
tering, having no means to do eo,
Feeling that the names of these
two hundred and ninety brave sol
dlers should be preserved upon the
headstones (for they are most care
fully recorded), we have pledged
ourselves to raise the necessary
amount. Will you kindly aid us
iu so doing? The sums givtgi have
been from twenty-five cents to n
dollar. Unaided, Savannah has
erected the monument and head
stones; will not the rest of t

dead there buried are alni'
