residence in Louisa county, CHARLES I. KIM
DRouGH, in The 49ih year OF his age.
His death being announced the next day al the
county court of which he was most valuable
member, a preamble and resolution in honor OF
him were adopted, of which copy follows This
notice. They do not exaggerate his WORTH
Their irulhlulness was allesed by many mois-
tening eye, and by the visible sorrow which hung
like pail over the court and people in adopting
them II will be confirmed by the grief OF the
neishbors, who loved him for his active and un-
firing goodness, and by his lellow-laborers in the
many and varied fields Of his usefulness. On
The Bench, in The Legislature, in all consultations,
in all u elu enterprises wherever work was 10
be done, he was the most efficient, and the least
noisy Those who served with him on such oc-
casions, will remember how constantly his ready
pen, clear mind, unhagging industry, and temper
never ruflled, were put in reqnision, and had a
lions share OF the rOrk only; his noiseless mo-
dcsly and magnanimy leaving all the public
honor 10 others. To so rare a degree did he
blend integrity, modesiy and merit that the writer
has repeatedly said of him in past years, "He is
The only man | have ever known on whom
would bcstow any office he might choose, if | had
il to give" So surely would he not have overra-
ted himself! He was one Of the very few in This
world, 10 whom il was continually needful 10 say,
"Friend, go up higher"
Comrade of my early and my whole manhood
friend and brolher-larewell The poor and
the troubled for many mile around your grave
will long and painfully miss yon! In all move
ments Tor the good of your community, where
public spirit is wanted, you will long and mourn
fully be missed. But may the memory of you
dwell in our hearts, and spur US on peIpetualy 10
emulate your quiet and unobrusive, YET slrenu-

plary as, in our Judgment il is well possible for
man 10 be- that his diligence in every one OF the
many public trusts with which he was honored,
was unsurpassed, il il was equalled by any
around him. that he was the constant laborer for
those who needed his he p-lhe friend OF the poor,
the composer OF strife, and the most reliable adj
wiser and resourse of all those in difficulty; so
that there is probably no man among us, whose
loss could create so wide chasm, so painful a
void.

brother, thus taken away in The mids, OF his nse-
lulness, we will wear the usual badge OF mourn
