A Radical colored man of some promi-
nence attended the speaking on Wednesday,
and afterwards gave his views about it to
his colored brethren. He was heard to say
'I tell yer dey is something queer bout des
Demmicrats dis time Dey is jist forcin'
things. I heard Judge Mackey say he
didn't want to speak, but de County Cheer
man of de Dimmicratic party said he had
to, and dey jist 'whelmed him so dey made
him speak; an I tell yer what it is, dey IS
goin' to 'whelm the colored folks dis time,
an make um vote like de Demmicrats. I"
That Radical is sensible fellow.
We regret to announce the death of Mrs.
Brown, wife of Dr.. w. G. Browne, which
occurred in Atlanta, Ca. on Tuesday last,
after prolonged and lingering illness. Du-
ring the residence of DR.. and Mrs. Browne
in our midst, they formed many friendships,
and it is with SORROW that the death Of the
departed wife is heard by our people. On
Wednesday morning the remains were
brought to Anderson by railroad and CAL
ried for interment to Ebenezer Church,
where many relatives have been placed to
rest. The bereaved husband has the sim
cerest sympathy of this community in his
sore affection.
We regret to announce the death of Mr..
John Hastie, an old citizen of Pendleton,
which occurred in that town on last Thurs
day, after long illness. Mr.. Hastie was
native of New York, but removed to Pen
dleton many years ago, and has since been
resident of that place. Mr.. HASTE was
gentleman OF quiet and unobtrusi7e nature,
and possessed many generous and amiable
qualities His remains were inferred in the
Episcopal Church Yard at Pendleton on
last Friday in the presence OF a number of
the citizens of Pendleton, who assembled to
pay this last mark Of respect to the departed
one.
We are gratifed to learn that tho an
nounceInent of Rev. w. P. Martins death
in our last issue was mistake. The para
graph announcing it wss made up from the
report of it contained in two other papers,
which published it week before, and was
prepared in our absence from the Office by
one who had no means of ascertaining the
flct or of obtaining data for the notice be-
yond the mention of it in the papers re-
ferred to. We are pleased, however, to cor
rect the error, which did not originate with
th;spaper. Mr.. Martin is perfectly well,
and has not been sick recently. He is reg
ularly supplying his churches, and attend
ing to his usual ayocations. His many
friends will be pleased to learn that his day
of usefulness to his fellow men is yet
spared, and that he has no indications of
falling health.
