of Fred. W. and E. H. Tally, aged nine years.
In this city, on the 14th inst, ISAAC HOPKINS;
aged Sc years and 10 months.
The deceased was native of North Carolina, but
had been resident of this State since 1885, and most
of that time the employment of the proprietors
of this paper The General" he was called in the
office though not without his faults, never lost the
instincts of the gentleman. He at all times truth
full and honest and in disposition gentle as child
and sympathetic as Even habits of intern
perance failed destroy these qualities of the heart,
which in higher sphere of life would have rendered
him estimable citizen.
He assisted in getting out the first number of the
Montgomery (Aa.) Advertiser, and also the first num-
Der of the New Orleans Picayune, which was started
by Lumsden and Kendall, Gravier street, and first
worked the hand-press of the True American, then
under charge of John Gibson, who had for his motto
" Faithful and Bold"
But, the poor old man has passed away, and his
faults and his virtues alike will be forgotten amid
the turmoil of life and in few short years, aye,
months, it will be as if he had never been.
