M. Ramsay. Again it is our sad duty to chron icle the sad intelligence of the de parture from this life of a good and true man. The gentleman whose name heads this article, was the father of Rev. W. S. Ramsay of Dublin, and was well known to many of our readers, and the sad news of his death will chat a gloom over the circle of his many friends. He was taken sick with pneumo nia at his residence in Midway on Friday last, and died about 8 o’clock Monday morning. He was about 76 years old. He came to Midway in 1838, from Augusta, to take charge of the primary school connected with Oglethorpe University, and was ex-officio member of the Facul ty of that institution. He held that position until the University fell un der the weight of financial troubles and was removed to Atlanta. He was a faithful, conscientious and successful teacher. His heart was as tender as a woman’s, and full of the milk of human kindness. His long life was illustrated by a walk with God and man, pure and unblem ished by a stain. He was for many years a member of the Presbyterian church, with which denomination ho had been connected from his youth to the time of his death. At the time of his death he was School Commissioner of Baldwin county. “After life’s fitful fever he sleeps well.”— Eastman Times. Montgomery News. very Candidates are very busy. Gen.

The Wholesale Emporium is equally as wonderful, of less daz zling but more tremendous propor tions.
