mia on the 18th inst, at bis late residence
in Tyro, Marshall County, Miss, st the
advanced age of n years. He wss born
in Chester District, s. c., in 1892, and

lived the life Of an honest, Industrious,
and thrifty planter, useful citizen, and
Christian gentleman. Capt. Kelsey BE-
lonSed to the old school OF gentlemen, a
class now, u~nhappily, passing swsy.
High-minded, brave, liberal, hospitable,
charitable, be was ever the true friend
and kind benefactOr. Before he arrived
at the years Of maturity, be bad served
his country with the army in Florida, in

fantry, who fell wbile CALAMITY leading
his regiment in the battle Of Jonesb5ro,

ing several times promoted, in all tue en-
gagements of the army OF Tenn" from
the battle of Belmont until his death.

sounded the alarm Of his cOuntry's dan
ger. Than in emulation Of his patriot
father, 10 spraBg to arms il her defence,
aud right well did he discharge his duty.
Few soldiers in the army Of Southern pa
triots were more beloved than he. Gen
tie, modest, even difident in his manner
among his friends, in battle he wss ter
rible as the lion when aroused and Ike
the white plume Of Henry Of Navarro,
his young and manly form was ever fore
most in the van, in the charge upon his
couutry's foes. But, alas. "youHg
Henry Percy's spur is cold" and the
green grass soOve MS tomb is foUlly trOd
upon By the despot's heel and there are
hose yet living, 81 over this land, who
still cherish his noble deeds, and are not
-nmindful Of his memory,
Noble sire! Worthy sen Soldiers
alike, patriots both, they have gone from
he land they loved so well, nor thought
With lie too dear to defend, and not soon
will their haIlowed memories be forgot
