SAD INTELLIGENCE We have just re-
ceived intelligence Of the death of WAL
tor Largent, who lived in this County
some time after the close of the late war.
Mr.. Largent was Marylander by birth,
and lived in that State until the break
ing ont Of the war, when he voluntarily
joined the Confederate army, and finally
became ne Of Gen. Lees scouts. After
tho close of the war ho was forced to
leave his home, and isolate himself from
all his former associates on account of
the implncable hatred of some, who
wonld doubtless have murdered him be.
cause Of his being Confederate soldier.
The citizens will remember Mr.. Largent
as the brave and fearless young man,
who was such terror TO the garrison at
Anderson and neighboring Counties.
The Yankees had ran him from his home,
and would not suffer him to return,
whereupon he swore eternal vengeance,
hence his desperate course. Mr. Lar
gent. several years since, removed to
Texas. He leaves his widow aud little
child to bemourn his death, besides
numerous friends in this and other
States. Pichens Sentinel.
