of this place, died at tlie ripe old
age of one hundred years,at his home

A Heavy Loss.
Mr.Benjamin Brantley,who resides
a few miles from this place, lost his
dwelling and all tlie outbuildings by

fire, it is supposed, originated from
a stove in the kitchen; none of the
family were at home at the time, and
everything in the houses was also
conpletely destroyed. Mr. Brantley
is an honest, industrious young man,
and the loss which he has stistaipefl,
falls heavily upon him.

Hon. George S. Rountree.
Judge G. S. Rountree, of Swains
boro, was in town this week. It is
well known to our readers that the
Judge is an aspirant for the Sena
torials honors of the Kith district.
The result of the primary
recently hel l in Emanuel county,
shows that he is the choice of his
own county. He is pure, upright,
honest, incorruptible—he is a man
of high integrity and acknowledged
ability; and we say of our own voli¬
tion that ho would make a good
Senator.
Dea«l.
Mr. Jared l. Rcnfroe ijied at his
home near Wrightsvilie on .Sunday
the 20th inst., of congestion of the
brain. 11 is remains, followed by a
large concourse of sorrowing friends
and relatives, were interred in the
cemetery at this place on the follow
iug day. In the death of Mr. Ren
froe, Johnson county has sustained
the loss of a good citizen, society a
perfect gentleman, his wife a kind
husband, and his children an indul¬
gent. father. To bis grief stricken
family wo extend our heartfelt sym¬
pathies.

Wriglils v illc & Tennille Railroad.
Supt. 'Thomas is in town this
week for the purpose of perfecting
arrangements to begin work on this
end of the Wriglitsville tb Tennille
Railroad. He informs us that the
work is progressing as rapidly as
could be expected, and that if
Wrightsvilie will only do her duty,
the road will be completed in time to
off the bulk of this year’s crop.
If the citizens of this place, who have
subscribed and promised, or indica¬
ted, that they would work out their
stock, will come up and grade the
and a half miles, between Cedar
and Raiford Brantley, which
will cost less than one thousand dol
lars, Mr. Thomas will connect the
work from Harrison’s with that at
Brantley’s,and the grading will then
complete between Tennille and
creek, except a little space
between Harrison and Griffin branch,
which can be done in a week or so.
work can all be done by the
