I.OCAL NEAVS.
Alexander Murray.
])ied, in this county, on tho morning
of tin 10th instant, at the ripe age of
ninety years, Alexander Murray, grand
father of the editor of this paper.
The deceased was born in Halifax,
on the peninsula of Nova Scotia, Sep
tember 16th, 1786. At a youthful pe
riod he began a life upon the waters,
which, after a few years he abandoned
for other pursuits in the old Dominion,
where he married and moved to Ogle
thorpe county, Ga., in 1816, to settle.
Here he resided for a number of years,
and afterwards became a citizen of
Henry county, from whence he moved
to this county, which he has made his
homo forover twenty year . Deserved
a tour in the war o ( ' 1812, and also in
the war with the Seminole Indians in
1836,and often in his old age hewould re
fer with patriotic pride to his earlv mili
tary career; and when his country’s call
was again heard in the late civil strife,
though then beyond the age of 75, he
joined a cavalry company before the
close and was in several small engage
ments.
Though the advantages for securing
an education then were not equal to
those ot the present day, he informed
himself on general subjects and on
reaching the period of manhood, found
h’mself mast r of his undertakings, the
fruits of a brilliant perception and a
giant memory. Taking hold of an idea
and believing himself right, he clung
to it with unwavering tenacity. Ilis
spiritual ideas, though not in all re
spects in exact accord with the most
coin non opinions, he Was always ready
to fortify with convincing arguments
made substantial by years of scriptural
study and careful research His reli
gious opinions contained most points in
harmony with the prevailing doctrines
of the popular churches of this country,
but in some few he differed, and men of
all denominations listened with eager
interest to his ideas, lie had read the
new testament through one hundred and
fifty times, and was familiar with eve
ry passage beneath the Bible lids, be
ing able to quote who’e chapters from
almost any portion.
When nearing the end of his life he
had the peculiarity of mind to keep
his age so that when asked lie would
reply to a 'lay and hour, tie retained
his mind unimpaired until within a
week or so < f his death, and when the j
last shadows wire closing in his career, j
he w is conscious of the impending ter
mination. but. dieudid not the struggle.
When asked if lie retained the belief
in which lie hud lived he r 'plied, “ As
lir nas a rock.” His death scene was as
a (ai'l.f u servant relying on (he gracious
promises to thorn who fear and love the
Jed. •• The Lord is always with me, '*
In; said, repeated the following: “ The
Laid is good, lie is a stronghold in
the day of tiouble. lie knoweth them
who put their trust in Him,” then with
unmistakable evidences of a peaceful
end he Lreathed out his earthly cxisv.
tence for a brighter home in heaven,

Peterson’s Magazine for November is
on our table, ahead of ail others. It is
an unusually good number, even for
this first-class lady’s book. The prin
cipal stud plate, “ Innocence,” is from
an original picture by that world-famous
ariLt. Sir Joshua Reynolds. A prom
inent feature of this magazine is its
copyright, novelettes, two of which up*
pear io this number. But, as a c:tem
porary says, the stories,, tho fashions,
the patterns, in short, everything in
“ Peterson ” is tho best of its kind.—
The pr ce of this magazine, too, is an
other tiling in its favor# It is but two
dollars i year. The prospectus for 1877
is published with this number, and we
find that the prices to clubs are aston
ishingly low Read them. A choice of
cle-en spl ndid premium engravings,
for framing, is given, for fifty cents ex
tra. to subscribers for “ Peterson” for
1877. Specimens of tho magazines
are sent, gratis, if written for. Sub
scribe to nothing else until you have
seen a copy of this popular magazine.

Political.
The Century of Independence em
braces a collection from official sources
of the most important documents and
statictics connected with the political
history of America : also a chronogical
record of the principal events from its
discovery to the present time wiih bio
graphical and historical skgclies** etc.
Printed in German and Englished
Nearly 600 pages. Price 82 0).
Never before has so much practical
information of this nature been pub’ish
ed iu any one volume.
M hile there are many treatise pur
porting to give valuable statistics of
America in convenient form, it will be
found upon examination that they
contain a voluminous amount of mat*
ter wnich is of no utility to any citi
zen.
A comparison of the various produc
tions wdl convince any intelligent per*
son that the “Century of Independence”
embraces the important documents to be
ound in them all while it omits that
which is superfluous and adds instead a
vast collecti nof invaluable facts. No
other arrangement gives one-fuurth the
information in the same space and the
arrangement ;s what makes it inval
uable as a reference book, it having
been complied under the immediate
supervision of officials at Washing
ton
r i he lawyer, banker, merchant and
farmer will each conclude that it must
have been prepared especially wi'li ref
ferenee to his convenience.
It is designated for this work to take
the place in politics that Webster’s Dic
tionary does in language, and Appleton’s
Gazetteer in general literature. The
binding, paper and illustrations have
been made to compare with the general
character of the work.
Though a person can be a good citi
zen without a thorough education, no
good citizen can enjoy the right of Iran
ehise intelligently without possessing the
information contained in this book.
W hile persons refuse to purchase om

will gladly avail themselves of the op

THE NEW FAMILY
SINGER
SBWiNfl Machine.
WITH ATTACHMENTS
For All Kinds of Work
is Pst wiiitfing fa Cor in the household, as'
shown by the rapidly increasing sales.
This New Family Machine is capa
ble of a range and variety of work such
was once thought impossible to perform t j
machinery. IVe claim and can show tluu
it is the cheape:t, most beautiful, delicately
arranged, nicely Adjusted, easily operated,
and smoothly running of all the family
sewing machines. It is remarkable, not
only for the range and variety of its sew
ing, but also for the variety and different
kinds of texture wi ien it will sew with
equal facility and perfection, using silk
twist, linen, or cotton thread, fine or Cv,arseV
making the inter-elastic lock stitch, alike'
on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus
beaver cloth, or leather, may be sown with
great strength and uniformity of stitch ,
and.tna moment, this willing and never
wearying inst-uinent may be adjusted for
line work cm gauze or gossamer tissue, rr
motuckingi of tarlatan, or ruffling, rr nl
most any other work which delicate fingers
have been known to perform.
Ours having long been the popular ar.d
practical machines for nnuifi ctaring pur
poses, some dealers, using *• the tricks of
trade,” take advantage of this in trying t
persuade purchasers that ettr Family M
chine is not equal, for family sewing to our
Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing
purposes. But purchasers—and they are
apt to examine carefully before choosing
have net been merely persuaded, but cot;
vinced that our new family machine eni’n-d
--ies new and essential principles—simplicity
of construction ease of operation ; uni
formity of precise action at any speed; ca
pacity for range and variety of work, line
or coarse—lea ving all rivals behind it.
Sewing Machine Sales of 1874-
The table of sewing machine sales for
187-4 show that our sades for that year
amounted to 211,G97 machines, being a
large increase over the sales of tlie previ
ous year. The table shows that our sales
exceed those of any other company for the
period named, by the number of 148,852
machines, nearly
Three Times Those of any othe Com-,
pany.
It may bo further stated that the sale* of
1873, as compared wi,th the, gale of iH72,
show a relatively large increas* beyond
the sales of other makers. For instance,
in 1872 we 501d*45.000 more machine- than
any other company whereas, in 1 'Y, 3 k the
sales w.ere

OFFICIAL EFFORT.
The following is a correct report of the
sales o# sewing machines made by the lead
ing companies dm ing the past four years.
A careful examination of the figures will
show that the “SINGER” have largely in
creased cacli year, while, on the contrary, a
corresponding decrease is shown, in the sales
reported by all other companies. This is a
highly satisfactory result te> us, and is only
another proof that “merit always has- its re-.
ward.”
