WILLIAMSON.
MY sister dear--the thoughts bring,
AS flowers TO deck this spotless page,
ferchance may seem like those that spring
FROM roots that feel the blight of age
buI AT tne mention OF that word
MY sister youth awakes again,
And pleasant memories are stirred,
or days unmarked by care or pain.
And Mary-my most fervent prayer
Is, that thy life may ever be
AS calm as when the summer air
is sleeping on the moOnllt sea -
Bright as the day-gods earliest glance
sweet as song at midnight heard
And gladstone as the ripple's dance,
When by the soft-winged zephyrs stirred
Should pain or sorrow ever shroud
=. The blessed light OF thy young years,
May hopes enulgence through the cloud
tears,
May faith the dark Illusion break.
And love wipe of each tear that flows
AZ s morning breezes gently shake
The gllstening dewdrops from the rose
May purlty's white robe be spread,
In ample fullness round tny form l.;
Earths choicest Joys on thee be shed
Lies sunshine thine, without the storm
And when OF things Of time and sense,
Snall 1ade as stars when day is dawning,
on, may thy soul soar gladly hence,
10 Dask in heavens eternal morningl

We would take the liberty of suggesting
TO the republican state committee, and to
the several district committees, the pro-
pnety of, when the state convention to APP
point delegates to the national convention
is called, following the precedent of 1879,
instead of that of former years, and that
the several district conventions be held
conformity with the state convention. A
fuller and better representation can be OBJ
tanned in this way, to say nothing of the
vast saving in expense.

Death Of A.. C. Hawthorn, Esq.

It becomes our duty to chronicle the
death Of Our old friend Andrew Z.
Hawthorn, Esq, which event occdr-
red At his residence in Due West on
Thursday night Of last week.
Mr.. Hawthorn was born near Due
West on the head waters OF Long
Cane creek In the year 1870 and conse-
oueatiy was seventy-six years Of age.
He grew up to manhood and after
living a long and useful life. died
within q few miles Of the place Of his
birth.
In early life he married and moved
to Due West where he engaged Tor
many years In merchandising, keep
ing hotel and farming. and was SO well
known for his many commemorative
trsits Of character that he was about
thirty years ago, elected Sheriff of Alb
beviile county. Mr.. Hawthorn was a
practical man and successful in what
ever he undertook. and at the break
ing out ofthe war he had accumulated q
very considerable fortune. In the
aast few years Of his life he however
met with several misfortHnes which
stripped him Of the result Of q life
time of industrious toll. At The close
of the war bis negroes were e.natci-
pated. Soon after the realization OF
this great loss some unknown person
set fire to several thousand dollars
WORTH Of cotton which he had ginned,
baled and packed away in III clubhouse
on his premises; q little later still his
large and comnmdious hotel was de-
voured by the consuming element.
and the old man and lis family
were Literally turned ''eat OF doors"
Creditors now pressed and he gave up
everything he had left Ia them. and
the Old homestead was stfd, to satisfy
their cravings. At this great change
in Misfortune he was not discouraged,
but I've and his good wife possessed a
heart for every fate aud went to work
with the energy Of younger people.
and saon built another, but a smaller
house. and again seemed to he rs hap
~ as.exer
To MIR. and Mrs. Hawthorn were
born sixteen children, ten of whom
are still living.
Mr.. Hawthorn in early life connec-
ted himself with the a. R. church
and his daily life adorned the
ocl,aracter of an transformations
christian wlrn was especially noted for
his honesty and his charity. A good
.mau is gone. and his place in the
county will not soon be filled by SO
good. u man.

tious discharge Of every christian du.
ty. He was all his life a devoted
Methodist, and was one Of tAe clliei
supports Of the gospel in his own
church. He was highly especled ty
all who knew him. but it was in the
family circle that his real worth VA.
folly appreciated. He was a M ct

cast Of character which won the love
and affection Of u household. over
whom his influence was u~ntrounded.
We extend our sympathies I" those
who weep 1t the death OF u beloved
