Farewell, brother, eoon we'll meet thee,
where no cloud of sorrow rolls;
For glad tidings float, how sweetly.
From the glorious land of souls.
Dentil’s cold gloom now parts asnnder,
lx*, the folding shades are gone !
Mourner, upward! yonder, yonder,
God’s bright day will come ere long.”
The writer tenders his deepest sym
pathy to the afflicted family.
Airs. Lyons has been critically ill,

we teel peculiarly sad m announcing
the death of Col. W. W. Hardy. He
died at 6 P. M., on Saturday last. While
not wholly unexpected, the event has j
cast a gloom over the entire community, j
Fie was one of us and he has left many j
mourning friends. It is doubly sad to j
be cut down in the prime and vigor of j
manhood. We have known him for i
fifteen years, and looked upon him as a j
high-toned Christian gentleman. He |
was an honor to his parents, to himself!
and to his kind. The funeral sermon !
was preached by Rev. J. B. Hunnicutt
on Monday afternoon, at the Methodist 1
church, and the building could not con
tain the large number of friends assem
bled there to pay the last, sad tribute
of respect to his lifeless remains. We
were too unwell to attend the services,
hut as we sat by our window and be
held so many of his young friends, male
and female, pass by in ’that long, sad
procession, our mind reverted back only
a few months ago, when he was the
yerv picture of health. Now, he is
borne to t,he grave. How soon may-
loving hearts and tender hands be per
forming the same sad otlice for some
one or more of them? He was buried
in the cemetery here with Masonic
honors. Our deepest sympathies are.
extended to the bereaved family, pray- :
ing that this sad dispensation may not
be without some gracious fruit.

D. Nolan was saddened by the death

Air. Pinckney Nolan and family, of

For some days past we have been un
der the weather, so to speak. Guess
there was cause for it; probably several
causes. We went to Griffin last week
and was taken soon after we came
back. Then, “Farmer” may have
idven ns a tilt under our fifth rio, (not,
Joab like.) At any rate, we were sick;
but for a day or so we have gotten back came
into our old habit of making regular
dining-room visits. So, we hope, our
danger period lias passed.

How many readers of The Herald
and Advertiser keep a scrap-book.
They are a good thing to have. Often
times in reading we come across some
piece we would like to preserve. How
convenient then would it be to ha,ve a
scrap-book, so it could be pasted in for
future reference? In the course ol time
a volume could be formed of the most
choice and interesting reading matter,
at a very small cost.
Mr. M. 11. Couch has purchased the

1 have heard some of our citizens ex
press themselves as w anting the name
of our little town changed. I don’t
think there could be a more suitable
name started than “Fuckett,” for sev
eral reasons. It is the only place in
the State of that name; it doesn’t end
with a “ville;” the railroad likes the
name, and it is w r ell enough not to wor
ry the railroad too much if we want a
depot. No doubt the name could be
changed to something else, but this
can become as large a town, as good a
town and as pretty a town by the name
of Fuckett as anything else. .

eve, accompanied bylalarge Newfound
land dog. The dog belonged to 1 rof.
Cox, of LaGrange. His master was
soon notified of his whereabouts and
came up for him on Sunday. Directly
the train left here, after the young la
dies got off, the dog got lost from them
and ran alter the train for some dis
tance; he soon decided that hecouldn t
keep up with the “cannonball, and
ran at large until Sunday morning when
lie was captured by a pretty young
lady. It was thought a little strange
that the dog wouldn’t follow a man,
but, he is excusable. It was the way he
had been trained.

I became 50 years old, and thought at
that age I would be road free; but our
mule, which is old enough to make ti
tles to land, is subject to road duty or
a fine of three dollars per day, or is lia
ble to be imprisoned in the county jail
fora term of not less than 30 nor longer
than 60 days if she fails to work, and
to keen her from being- disgraced I
shouldered niv hoe and did a hard day s

and wagons that have armed at the

Mr. Editor:—it seems from the state
ments of “Zubetus” and his brother
rabbit hunters, that they were not on
the railroad ilie night on which the
mysterious light was seen by Air. T. -N.
Bingham and others near Mr. Bing
ham’s house; nor were they, according
to their own statements, in the orchard
of Air. Bingham on this night; nor were
they near his orchard, according to
their own statements. That “Zubetus
can imagine his light could be seen
on the railroad and in the orchard when
he admits that neither he nor his broth
er rabbit hunters were at either place,
nor anywhere near either place, is al
most as strange as the light. B.
