IN MEMORIAM.

" DIED, At his residence in Bienyille
Parish, on the 23rd day Of June, 1870,
VIM. HAYES MCGUIRE; aged So years,
5 mouths and ID days. :
| The deceased was born in Warren
County, Tenn, and lett that State at
an early age with his parents, who set.
thence to Talladega County, where the
deceased was married on the 29th of
December, 1929, to Martha Jane Civ
ems. From this marriage there was a
numerous offspring. Six Of the sons,
together with the father, served with
honor and distinction in the late Con-
Tolerate army. On the 11th day of
November, 1851, the deceased left the
State Of Alabama and settled shortly
afterwards in Bienville parish in this
State.
The deceased occupied no high pub
lie positions; but in mental endo IS.
in a strong, well organized and bal.
anccd mind, his intellectual faculties
were far above mediocrity. That he
took no active part in political ma tiers,
was no evidence that he was not in
terested. deeply interested in the rapid
march of political events which sur
rounded him. In all that related to
his native South, he took a deep and
active concern, and although the clouds
of war burst around him at an advanc-
ed age, YETI with all the vigor ofyouth,
ne ardcntlv cspoused the cause Of his
section. Six sons, noble, generous and
impulsive YOUTHS. were semitic swell
the patriot ranks Of the Confederate
ori1ies, and when the insatia bic Mo
.loch Of war had thinned the ranks and
devourcd the youth and the glory OF
the South, he was among the first OF
the aged who, volunteered, and served
with honor and distinction in several
arduous campaigns. May his virtues
remain in perpetual remembrance
among a people who have lost all save
honor, and WHO ever can claim hero
like him, who, mad he lived in times O.
old, would have received honorable
mention in Roman and Grecian story
The deceased was highly respected
in his parish. he was good and
kind neighbor; an energetic and useful
citizen. He was thoroughly i'm bued
with the prime; Piles of Christianity, and
practiced its divine precepts in all the
walks OF life.. He " as charitable in The
most liberal sense ofthe word. lie
was kind and forgiving to the faults
of others, and to the poor, he was
| friend indeed.
The deceased had lived more than
| the allotted period Of human life. and
while we regret and lament the de-
parture of one so good, SO noble and
so useful, yet we bow with profound
awe and reverence to the decree Of the
Almighty, and are thankful that he
was spared SO long to leave behind him
the exa,npleof life, more precious
to the youth, aye to all classes, than a Il
the vast accumulations of riches! r.

late United Fire Company was q very
pleasant part ofthe evenings entertain

part of the company by William H
Harrison, Esq. in a very neat and ap
propriate speech, and was received OF
the part of the Council by Mr.. Stone
who closed with feeling appeal to thu
company and to the audience to rang,

temperance. The distribution of pres
