Capt. james Henry, who departed this life
at his residence in this city OH the 9TH iilst i'll
his 7lst year, deserves more than Il mere no.
tce. Capt. Henry was a native OF Augusta
county. and lived his entire life. except the
short time he was Il citizen of this city, in the
vicinity of Midway. Fol many years i'll the
good old days. - he was leading Justice OF
the Peace of the county, and assessing q
clear, practical mind with decision Of character
and prompt in the execution of Ills trust, he
retired from the position with the respect and
confidence Of his confiferes and all interested
in his mayisterial duties. IIc was for years an
elder in the New Providence congregation, in
RockbrdSe county, and WAS the first elder iA
the organization of the congregation at Mt
Carmel church, at Midway, and to him, per-
llaps, as much us to any man are the peo-
PIE Of tiat section indebted for The church in
which they worship the God Of their fathers.
