Mr.. LAsDRUN was in full practise nj the Edge
field Bar, and possessed qualities of head and
heart which gave him high position. He had
troops of friends warmly attached to him as n
LAWYER and as q man. He WAS Christian gentle
man, which is the highest of all praise, and, as
such, commanded the respect and admiration OF
all who met him.
Mr.. LAsnnrM was u great favorite with the poo
Pile of Edgeield District. He had represented
them in the Legislature Of the State, and, but tor
his retiring disposition, might have been promi-
nent in political life. He was also man of let
tcrs, aud had been urged to accept scat IN the
Faculty of the Furman University
Our whole community deploros his lamented

the good God of Mercy and Love be with them,
