O BIT U A r Y.

DIrn. on Friday. the 3Dth ult., at Edg,irli
Court House, CHARLES Comfy, il the GJ.h year
of his age.
The deceased WAS born in the lower part Of
! Suuth Carolina and descended from one Of these
revolutionary families, who having He'd from re-
Iigu,is persecution in their own country, Ioulrl
/; al abiding place in the wds Uf America. anil
contributed 50 vastly, by their ar'l"r and enter
prise, 20 establish the independence Of their new
country, and 10 cnligl,:cn il BY arts, aud to en-
bclish it with genius and learning.
OF French origin himself, lie contracted an
alliance with French family of influence and
reputation. lie cmarric MARY MEl.LGrT i'll the
year 1877, whom he has left, a brrcavcd widow,
i and willuu protection.
Alr. Comfy WAS Il man. who, with common
share Of human ira:Itirs, had many virtues aud
qualities OF the heart, which cntille him 10 re
spcct He was honest aud fair in his dealings
with manhind and in his private intercourse he
was frank, generous and humane.
Being uf Il warm temperament. he was I'M
pulsiyc and though quick in his rcsrntncuts, his
sympailics were lis easily cnkindlcI as his anger,
and his conduct was marked by manllnrss and
courage.
In the vieuur of his life lie was exceedingly
industrious and cntrrprisny, and made most
competent support for himself and his ftmiy.
But his nature WAS not snrditl, and his soul Was
sinccrc' Feeling all that security so common
to unc of his sangninc temper. AMI never, for
moment, calculating upon the ticklrncss of for
tune and upon the =" evil day." lie did not sufii-
civnlly husband his means, an'l death found him,
Il pour old man, worn out by a lingering disease,
and deprived Of many OF the comforts, if not uf
the ncccssarcs Of life. While he enjoyed health
and youthful strength, "his pity gave e'cr char
ity bcgan'-he charged for his services as the
impulse Of the moment prompted him, and he
bestowed his bounty according to the same
liberal measure. ST., when age came upon him,
and sickness exhausted his franc, he felt the
pressure of the hand Of need and his spirit was
subducd by his unhappy condition.
Thus has departed from our milst, one who
was known to our whole community, and wEo,
with some pccuarities Of character, had attach.
cd TO himself many kind friends who did not for
get him in his dying moments, but who were
still, unable to ward off from lis breast the stern
ilccrecs Of necessity, and the ncxorable arrows
of fate.
Ills friends, aud his fcw surviving kindred,
may derive some consolation from The fact, that
their friend has departed in peace, without any
stain upon his character, and without an enemy
behind him, to receive, at the hands Of God,
that righteous judgment to be mrlcd out to all
mankind.
EIe will sleep quietly in his tomb, where he
has been laid by friendly hands, and the turf
will lie gently over his head.
DEPARTED this life, on the 3lst day OF January,
1852, Mrs EEBEccA Lowe, wife Of Artenlas
w. Lowe, Of this District, in the 44th year Of
her age.
The deceased had been afflicted for several
years before her DEATH which ailction she bore
with christian furtitudc Having made a public
profession of religion at the Baptist Church Of
Christ, at Ggal, in 1881, she has maintained
her profession with well ordered life. She has
left an affec,innato husband and one son, with
many relatives and friends to mourn her loss,
but they should not sorrow as those which have
no hope, for if We believe that Jesus died and
rose again, even so them also which sleep in
Jesus will God bring with him.
