gushed statesmen, received classical in
trucstions from him. He came 10 Maury cOUn-
" not many years after 1t became a county,
and taught a female school about one mile
south Of Columbia, and many of the most &c
cOmpiIshed old ladies of the past generation,
in this vicinity, went to school to him. For
many wears he was ChauceTY Court Clerk and
Circuit Court Clerk Of Maury county, and it is
needless TO say that he made very efficient
officer He has been living quietly on his
fam for many years, loved and venerated by
all He retained his faculties up to his death,
aud always came to town on election days,
and o. church when the weather was not
bad He was scTupulOusly neat in appear
ance even when nearly on the summit OF
century: and when his oldest son, the Judge,
would come TO see him, he would request a
servant to brush him of. Mr.. Martin was a
remarkable man IN many respects. tie never
fred gun nor killed anything with amin j
iifa in il; never took a chew nor smoked pipe
.yrtoJaaco; never took a drink of intoxicating
sipuOr. For eighty long years be was faith
mi member ofthe Presbyterian church, and a.
Mr.. OTIS said in his funeral sermon, II any
snaB among US was good it was Geo NJ. Mar
;In. Born amidst the American Revolution, he
witnessed its successful close the formation
of the United States into great government ;
the throes Of the FEench Revolution; the Rise
and Fall OF Napoleon Bonaparte; the French
Revolution OF lSiS; the Reign and Downfall OF
Louis Napoleon: the war of the Southern
states for independence; aud thousand other
great events. During his manhood ST cam was
Erst used as a means OF locOmotiou' railroads
Grst built, and telegraphy invented. KING
doms and empires grew up aud went into de-
cav during his long life.

the special defender and apologist of Thu
