DEATH r" - S. DOBBINS, j
The announcement of the'
dent-h of this well known and
popular citizens of our countv
will touch a sympathetic cord
in the hearts of » large number
ot people. After a long strug
gle with that insidious disease,
consumption, he passed away
last Saturday night at 10 o’-
clock, and his remains were
interred at Duluth at 11 o’clock
yesterday.
Mr. Dobbins was born in
Stewart county, in this State.
.out <!■> years ego, and came
to this county some twelve or
’fteen yearn ago and engaged
in teaching. He married the
widow of Thus. W. Mitchell,
who survives him.
After coming here he gradu
ated at the Peabody Institute
ct Nashville, and was one of
the most efficient and popular
teachers of the county.
He was recognized as one of
the best citizens of the
county, and had served nearly
five years as a member of the
Board of County Commission
ers, « position he tilled with
minent * itisfection to the
public, ilia death leaves a va
cancy in the present Board.
Mr. Dobbins was a true man
in every respect; honest, faith
ful in iiis private dealing> and
his relations to the public, he
commanded the confidence of
everybody.
From his youth up he had
been a consistent Christian,
who illustrated his profession
by his daily walk and conversa
tion, nnd he deserved, as he en
joyed, the respect and esteem
of his neighbors and the pub
lic.
It will be hard to fill his
place in his neighborhood, and
in bis public station in our
eounty.
We, in common with all his
friends, tendor our sympathy
to his bereaved family in tHeir
affliction.

BURGLARY AT NORCROSS.
From the Tribune.
Sometime Wednesday night
after the down passenger train
bad passed, thieves forced open
the door of the passenger depot
and attempted to destroy the
telegraph instrument, but the
third oue was left untouched,
having evidently been over
looked. The thieves gained en
trance to the depot by forcing
open the door, to effeot which
tiiey broke into Mitchell & Ter
rell’s blacksmith shop aud stole
a hammer undcbissel.
Nothing was stolen from the
depot and it appears that they
only wanted tu cut off commu
nication, aud thus iusure their
eicape.
After leaving the depot they
went to the store of Messers. 8.
T. dr J. E. McElroy it Co.,
which they entered and appro
priated to their own uae several
pair of pants and shoes and some
