City Clerk DAVIS has posted in the outer room
in the post Office, a new list of voters of the city
of Ilallowel, supposed to be full and complete,
according to the best inform alton received to date

themselves whether their names are properly re .

municipal election just at hand-onc week from
Monday nau. There are eight hundred and six

Travel on the ice between this city, Augusta

A gentleman in this city who has known the late
Mr.. L. {. W illiams from his boyhood, contributes
the following notice. not in eulogy. but in sincere
and sorrowful testimony of his worth:
The parents of Mr.. w illiams were well known
in AuA usta, and although long since deceased are
still recoileoed by our older citz ms as models of
piety and worth.
TO their counsels and examples was probably
due in large measure, the character for street in-
tegrlty and benevolent regard for others, which
the subject of this notice has always maintained.
In early life Mr.. Williams entered the house of
Geo. W ilNauns Co. in Charleston, ). c., a
clerk Ia "A few years he became a partner and re-
NAMED member of the firm until he fcally
tired from business with AL ample fortune.

should be able there to MAINTAIN an honorable
standing.
The business of the house incluling its branch
es in New York aud Atlanta; its banking houses
in Charleston and Columbia, and comm sson

lions of dollars, Is PROBABLY the largest in the

which tempered his Intercourse with his feel ow

but always liberal. He seemed to consid, that he
could best use his wealth in bcstowing benefits

was his dislike of detrscton.
