DIED,

DEPARTED this life, near Donaldsville, Sept
10, 1885, at the residence of his mother, Mrs.
Jane Wallace, ROBERT WALLACE. in the
Slst year of his age The subject of this no.
tice was young man of unexceptionablc NOR
ais, unblemished in character, undertaking IN
principle; as son, he was dutifu and affec
tionate to his brothers md sisters, kind and
obliging; as friend and neighbor, firm and
confding, ever ready to assist the affli ictcd and
needy; in his intercourse and dealings with
his fellow man, upright and honest; steadfast
in the adherence Of whatever was Just and
honorable. When our rights were assailed by
a foreign foe, and a call was made upon our
State for v volunteers during the Mexican war
he was amongst the first of Carona's sons to
respond to the call of his country, and, by his
tried courage and persevering energy, he
proved himself to be faithful and efficient
soldier: prompt and energetic in all the du.
ties that deVolved upon him. His sickness was
of short duration, but through it he manifested
the same calmness and resignation which had
hitherto characterized him through life. He
has left o doating mother. three brothers and
seven sisters to mourn his loss, but we hope
their lossis his gain.
Dearest friend, thou hast left us;
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But it is God who hath bereft US
He can all our sorrow heal
Yet again We hope to meet thee
. When the day of life is fed;
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed. .s
