OBITUARY.
General Anthony Foster.

Died, at his residence, in Pamela county,
Miss, February 8Jh, after brief illness, Gem
eral ANTHONY FOSTER, in the seventy -firzt
year of his age.
From the Pamela (Miss.) Star.l
DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN.-General AN
THoSY FOSTER died at his residence in this
county on Sunday last, after a short Illness
The deceased was a native of South Carolina,
but came to this State in early life, and mas
remained here ever since. He was seventy
one years old at the time of his death; and up
to his last illness was one of the most vigoI-
GUS men of his age we ever saw. When quite
a young man General FOSTER saw military
service IN Texas and Mexico and he was also
in the Confederate army during portion of
the late war. His courage was of the highest
order. No man living ever saw ANTHONY
FOSTER quail in the presence of danger. In
civil life he possessed the esteem and conf
dence Of the people among whom he lived,
and more than once received office at their
hands-twice as a member OF the state Legis-
lature. He had warm, impulsive, kindly
heart standing by his friends under all cir
cumstances: at the same time he was prompt
to resent an afront, and suffered D man TO
taespass upon his rights. The death of Gene
raj FOSTER causes general and sincere regret.
He was one of that class of citizens who are
now fast passing away-the old landmarks
of this country. He was buried on Monday
at Fredonia Church. May the sod rest lightly
over the breast of him who in life was ever
true and generous and manly.

pockets. To guard against such depredations,
all citizens and strangers are requested to de-

watches and other valuables. Our citizens
are warned, and should see that their houses
are left in charge Of some person who will
protect the same in their absence.

ner'S inquest on the bodies of the two Thomp-
son children was not held to-day. A thiId
child died to-day, and the nurse, Mrs. Behrens,
who was at first suspected of having some
connection with the affair, is now very i'll,
with symptoms similar to those in the other
cases. Physicians are still unable TO deter
mine the cause of death, but there seems to be
a general impression that they were caused
by gas from a coal stove. The nurse when
found was apparently partly stupefied and
now is in a very precautions condition.

the n"groa, Clio says The blacks and not
the whites arc the blame for our present
political condition. differ very much
from him i'll this respect. lie says the
white went to the blacks, they did go, but
they went to try to force them to submit,
even went so far as to not employ any of

indeed, the whites held the majority once
and if they had dealt kindly to item they
would have had it yet. But alas! 1 fear
it is now TOO late, the blacks have the
start now, they have the government in
hands, the whites are leaving, the blacks
are fiocking from every quarter, until
they have vast majority now. AS for
Republican, differ from him, he no
doubt is one of these scalawag carpet-bag-
gers, seeking for snotiice. Itis just such
men as he who have placed the whites in
their present deplorable condition. He has
placed himself on an equal with the negro
in politics, I wonder if he does the same
at his eating table or bed. When he
speaks about their honesty, it reminds me
very much ola remark made by an old
negro woman, who on one OCCASION was
roasting some potatoes for dinner and
had left some in the tub for herself, letting

her dishonesty, says, why dat is nothing
