DIED.

WINSTON-In this city, on Saturday, the
26th inst, Mrs. Sarah Winston, IN the nth
year of her age.
The deceased was born in Hanover coun-
ty, Va, December 22d, 1902, and has been
resident of this city for Al years.
USSERY-Died in peace at his residence,
John w. Ussery, ST., on April 25th, 1879, aged
a little more than eighty and half years.
He died of inflammation of the stomach.
His death was so sudden and unexpected
that its announcement almost stunned the
people. Notwithstanding the short notice
of his burial the next day at Antioch, the
people fiocked to the place in crowds they
were anxious to show their respect for the
patriarch of the community. It has been a
long time since we have seen funeral ser
vice so affecting. Until then we were not
aware of the hold he had upon our own
heart and upon the hearts of the people.
We believe he is the last of his type with us.
He was incapable OF doing a mean thing.
No man can say he wilmlly and knowingly
wronged or defrauded him. To this he adj
ded the graces of the Christian gentleman,
which completed his character. He was
member of the church 50 years, as well as a
citizen of the county 81 years and in each
of these relations he discharged his duty
with credit to himself and benefit to others.
He died as he had hved-with clean hands
and a clean heart. Heneeds no other eulo-
gy than the comment of his own life upon
himself. J. I. RICHARDSON.
HARRIS-At the residence of his mother
Mrs. Eliza Harris of this county, on Satur-
Memphis, aged 80 years, 5 months and %
days
Thus, after much affiiction and suffering
but painless, Christian death, he sleeps in
Greenwood Cemetery, Clapksvile, Tenn.
One of my most treasured friends, and
whom it was only necessary to know to
love, it affords me pleasure, now he is gone,
TO pay this last tribute to him who was in
every way so deserving as q school boy and
college mate, he was the same generous
friend, devoted son and affectionate brother
which characterized him through his short,
but busy, useful life.
The war breaking out just as he was
grown, and all of his sympathies being with
the South-stlll unable, on account of deli
cate health, to engage in ACTUAL duty-he
perhaps rendered more valuable service as
q manufacturer and furnisher of necessary
army supplies, and thus followed the for
tunes of the South 10 the last; at no time
of his life did that charity and generosity,
which was ever his, shine with more lustre
than during that four years, cheering the
most respondent, bestowing charity, and
In the most substantial manner relieving
the necessities of scores who had no claims
upon him, but who are now proud to testi.
fly to his many deeds of kindness and gene-
rosity. After the war he located in Mem-
phis, where he engaged IN business as gro-
Ger, cotton factor and commission merchant,
and soon came to be one of the substantial
and public spirited men of that city, amas-
sing a handsome fortune and at his death
was q member of the firm of Harris, Mallo-
ny & Co. As a business man, energetic and
fun Of zeal, Albert had few equals; as a
man, and as a friend, truth, honor and Dig
nifed self respect, as well as respect for 9TH
ers, ever characterized him; as q son, his
lander, chiValrous deYotiOn TO his widowed
mother was never excel. ed. and as a broth
er he was true and loving as a woman, Hav-
ing never married, with no family or HIS
own, and long an invalid, he seemed to live
and work for others, and he leaves relatives
and friends the remembrance of a blame
less, useful, well spent life, which we might
all feel proud to initiate. wa. r.
Feathers Mills, Tenn. April "a, 1879.
