o. A late Austin (Texas) Gazette makes
the following announcement of the death of a
former highly respected citizen of this State !:
We deeply regret to learn of the death of
Col. A G. WEIR, of Manchac. He died at
severe illness. He was man of strongly
marked character, warm, in his impulses and
always ready to take position in sustaining
the political policy of the Democratic party.
He was Chairman of the Democratic State
Convention, at Waco, had been U. S. Mar
SHALL in Mississippi, before his settlement in
Texas; has been Sheriff of Travis county,
and would have been run for State Senator,
but for the rapidly declining state of his health.
His decease is deeply regretted by our whole
community.
