HAS MADE SPLENDID RECORD ! for The First Time the Voters of Georgia Have the Privilegs of Nam ing the Official for this Important Office. i Private Lindsey was born and rais ed on his father's farm in WilLeison County, Georgia. He, with his two older brothers, enlisted iu April 1861, in Company I, Third Georgia Regi ment of Infantry, a regiment noted lor Its hard lighting, and served through the war in the Army of Virginia under General Robert E. Lee. He was sev ; eral times wounded while on the tir ing line and suffers to this day from a wound, well-nigh fatal, received at i Spottsylvania Court House, Virginia. The Minie ball, which shattered ins leg, was cut out iu lstib, hut lett hint ; cripple for life. ' wsz ft*, J. W. LINDSEY. Upon his return tiom the army he attended the schools of the county and acquired the very best education ob tainable under those circumstances, and was admitted to the bar of the Ocniulgee Circuit, in ISCS. Stihsp- ■ quently thereafter he married Miss j Julia Tucker, of Washington County, tyid settling in Irwinton, Georgia, his j hpine town, begau the practice of the law. His life has been an honorable one, filling a number of offices of trust and honor. He has been Mayor of his town. Chairman of the Board of Education, represented his county in the General Assembly, was appointed j by the President of the United States on the Board of Visitors to West Point 'Military Academy in June, .1802; was! a Cleveland Elector for President from the Tenth District in 1882, and ap pointed to the office of Commissioner of Pensions, and is now performing the duties of that office to the satisfac- i tion of tho people of the State, doing justice to the State and to the old sol dier entitled under the law to the pen sion which a grateful public has voted. Commissioner Lindsey was opposed to quarterly payment of pensions be cause it Inconvenienced many old ! soldiers. He favored the return to the annual payment of pensions in a lump sum. He has urged tin behalf of the Con federate soldiers and their widows) to so amend the Constitution of the State i as to strike from that instrument the j poverty clause and other restrictions of j inequality to which any Confederate ' soldier and his widow has to be sub j jected before they can obtain the pen sion. He says patriotism should not be j reduced to pauperism before obtaining recognition at the hands of the State. The old soldier is rapidly passing j away, and the friends of Mr. Lindsey recognizing in him the typical South ern soldier, the like of which this country perhaps will never gee again, commend him as worthy of the con fidence and support of the voters of this State.

One of tho strangest and most : pathetic cases we have heard of in !ii long time comes to the Local 1 from hot hair. It seems that Mrs. Elijuh Miller requested her luis i band to remain at home last Wednesday morning, stating that ! she was going to die that day. Ho ! thought it a mere whim of his j wife’s, as she was apparently in i good health, hut to humor her did not leave the house that morning. The good lady prepared vegeta bles for dinner, and afterward told her son that she wanted him to mend his way and lend a better life, saying this was the lust re quest she would ever make of him, as she would lie dead in a little while. After a few moments Mrs. Mil ler started across the room toward t he bed but fell to the floor before | reaching it, and when she was I raised up it was found that life had fled. II this ease has been correctly reported, it is certainly one of the most remarkable and touching t hat has ever come to our knowl edge.—Toombs (Jounty Local. Alamo, Route 1.
