THE WEATHER, &C.
Mr. EDITOR Where is the oldest inhabitant?"
If you know, please inquire of him, whether in all
the course of his long life, lie ever before knew
Fall and Winter dry and cold in the main, as the
present have been so far. We have had no rain to
speak of now for nearly four months and since the
first week in November, the cold has been almost
uninterrupted thermometer ranging at sunrise,
ut from IS to ii degrees below tile freezing point.
Such weather is very unusual in this climate.
In consequence of the cold, dry weather, the
young wheat is suffering very much, and if there is
not change for the better soon, it will inevitably
be destroyed.
But, should the weather remain dry and cold
along through the winter, although it would prove
disastrous to the wheat crop, itwouId work wonders
on our hard, rcd lands. Already are the benefits
of the cold to such lands pcrccptible. In walking
over thcm the ground yields 10 the feet like sand

OBIT U A r Y.

DIED of Dysentery and Fever, ut his residence
in this District, on the 18th December Mr.. ROBERT
c. JONES, aged about 43 years.
The deceased was born near Athens, Ca, V here
at m early period Of his life, he prorsscd religion
and was connected with the Baptist Church. He
removed 10 Augusta in the year 1888 or '34, and
was married in Edgefeld District, South Carolina
in the year 1885, and shortly after settled in the
District For about ten years he did not associate
himself with any Church and with fral human, trod
the open path of sin. He was however connected
with the Red Oak Grove Church, but for few years
only, and again tempted nature s.rayed inebrirty
and seemed without hope till about four years ago
when his heart forbade the thirst and he was re-
formed to the great qualification Of his family and
friends. During his illness he said my dear wife
you are aware that cannot get we'll but feel that
shall die happy in the Lord" and but few hours
before the final dissolution, he bade his daughter
farewell and encouraged her to meet him hereafter
lie leaves an aftcctionate wife and fond daughter
with many friends to their irreparable loss.
" N.
DIED, on the llth December last, in the 10th
year of his age, MIR. Isaac BELL.
This short notice is not intended to de ncatc the
character Of the deceased, but 10 speak Of o
his Christian virtues which made 50 bright By
the many vicisstudcs through which. in the proY
dcnce of God, he had to 60. And to use his owr
language, " ,cas blessed in them all" He lived tt
bury nine Of his children and his beloved wife who
was confined to her bead for nearly ten years prey
Gus to her death. These Affections necessarily pre-
vented him from assembling with the Church, which
he loved, and was beloved member thirty years
having first attached himself to the Baptist Church
Of Christ at Callalams, then by letter the Gilga
Church in which he died. His house may be truly
called the house Of L;zcrus. 1t was there ,ht
minister of the gospel always found welcome and
acceptable home, and where many had the gospe
preached unto them. Though he WIS BY afflctior
deprived Of assembling with the Church, yet he hat
much consolation in reading, until it pleased God t,
deprive him Of his sightthree years before his death
yet he never murmurcd or complained, but frequent
y had the Scriptures read to him, while under this
TO him the greatest aflicton. He had suggested to hi
mind the Sd chapter of Proverbs, which he hat
frequently read to him, and which he recommends,
to others. lie has left four children and man,
friends to MOURN their loss which they are coniiden
is his gain
" Write blessed are the dead tha, die in the Lord
yea saith the spirit they rest from their abors, ane
their works do fpl!ow them.n
