Obituary..

Departed this life, in the vicinity of Glas-
gov, Mo-, on Sunday 2sth inst. at quarter
past o'clock, in the 39ih year of her age,
Mrs. AMANDA M. LEWIS, consort of B. w.
Lewis. The disease that terminated her NOR
tai career, was high grade of the Conges-
live Fever, which accomplished its mission,
in the dissolution Of her nature in about 60
hours. Mrs. Lewis was the daughter OF Mr.
JosEHH aud Mrs, ELlzB ETH BARTON and
was, united in marriage to 5. w. LEWIS, in
Dec. 1886. Death had made sad ravages in
the lambs of her flock before the Shepaerdess
was called TO her reward. She had mournod
the loss of five children, taken away in in
fancy. Her body now sleeps, side by side,
with them.
In the death Of Mrs Lewis, her husband
has sustained an ire par able loss. She leaves
him with two mOtherless children, one an in-
FAINT, and the other too young to appreciate hs
loss. May Heaven grant him through tho
Gospel, that consolation, that Earth cannot
give. This dispensation falls not less heavily,
upon her aged mother, who had chung 20 her
with the strong devotion Of mothers heart.
and received IN return, more than child's
affection. In the performance Of all the rela-
i've duties OF life, she was faithful; in social
lie she had hut few equals and no SUPERIOR

POOR. She noyersaid to the INDECENT and suf-
iering "hc ye fed and be ye clothed" but per-
formed that duty in person. She had been
commitment ofthe M. L. Church, for about
seven years, previous TO her death, and altho'
not remarkable for zeal in the devotions Of the
sanctuary, was uniform and consistent in her
department. She gave satisfactory assurance
to her friends in her last illness, that she has
exchanged life of suffering, for one of Joy
and blessedaess. May the Father of love d.

Messrs. Editors-The Wings Of this city wilt
assemble tonight to select an individual to represent
them in the next Legislature. Several good and true
Wings have been named for the office The decision,
however, will perhaps be between Mr. James E. Heath
and Mr.. James G. Crane. Either of these gentemeF
will make faithful representative, and whichever may
be selected should receive the united of the Wing
party 1t is hoped that may meet in spirit of har
mony and mutual conciation and thus ttwart the eff
forts OF opponents to rekndle and keep alive the
fires OF diseord which have served weaken the
ges OF our party in this district Let forget the past
and concentrate strength for future conflicts with the
common enemy
While should hesitate to express his preference
for particular person all should resolve to support the
nominee of the party Let the vote be fairly taken
night the voters rising and counted by tellers) and all
must be satisfied.
The friends Of both of the above gentlemen are nu-
merous. Mr.. Heath is a sterling Wing, and possesses
qualifications of the highest order Mr.. Crane is as
good Wing, equally well qualified and has devoted
between 30 or 40 years Of his life the interests OF our
city. Both are sound on the great question Of the day
the preservation of Southern rights aud Southern no.
nor. Mr. Heath is Virgnian by birth. Mr. Crane
was born in slaveholding State, and removed to our
city in early boyhood, where he has remained faithful
to our Institutions and for many years past, himself
Shareholder. Surely in either Of these gentlemen we
can merge our personal preferences.
