ID a'h of Fur.lei lt.sidcnt of Fairfield.
Intelligence has been received of the
death Of George II. Robertson, Esq,
which occurred at lis home in Kinds
county, Mississippi, few weeks ago.
MIR. Robertson was a half-brothcr Of
our esteemed tcllow-citizcn DR.. II. II.
Robrrtsen, and lived for many years
in ;his county. Here he made Il large
.numbrr ef4iiends, who will be panied
to learn ofhis death. lie was gentle
nan of high character, genial disposi-
;t!on and warm hcnrt-uualitics which
naturally won for him general esteem.
AS an evidence of the regard in which
he was held by his fellow-citizcns in
Mississippi, we extract from the pub
lished proceedings of the Democratic
convention Of 1linds county the fol-
lowing:- ..# H..
AIR. S. NJ. Shelton offered the follow
ing resolutions, which were unani-
monsIy adoptcd>
HhereaS, In the mysterious, vet, as
we humDiy believe, wise dispcusution
OF thc Supreme Ruler OF the Universe,
our late County Treasurer, Geo. IL.
Robertson, Esq, has, upon the eve Of
the assembling OF ,his Convention
before which his name would have
been brought rs the most prominent
candidate for nomination for the same
office, been suddenly removed from the
scenes OF life to that bourne Whcucesno
traveller returns;
And Whereas, 1t is emincntly fltand
proper that the people of Kinds conn-
ty, through their delegates in this Con-
vcntion assembled, should give some
expression of their appreciation of the
merits Of the deceased as O. citizen and
a gentleman, and his services as an
officer, and tender to his bcrcaved
widow and relatives thcir sincere
sympathy and condolence;
Therefore, be 1t RcsolceG, That in the
death Of Geo. II. Robertson, Kinds
county has lost most honorable and
public spirited citizen and q most cf-
flicient officer,
Resolued, .Jurthcr, That in the dis
charge Of the important duties Of the
office intrustcd to him by tic people,
has conduct was always marked by
that urbanity and kindness which ever
cAaractcriZcs the true gentleman, and
his administration of that Office was
conducted in the most honorable and
exemplary manner; the insidious
tongue Of slrn ndcr finding no excuse to
speak aught against him and the
breath of suspicion never having rest
cd even fora moment upon the pure
crystal of his official reputation.
Rcst1lceo, farther, That the people of
Kinds county through their delegates
in the Convention assembled, hereby
tcnder to the bcreaved widow and
relatives Of the deceased their sympa-
thy and coincidence, and beg to assure
them that at his grave Kinds county
stands q mourncr and tenders with
melancholy pleasure this tribute to his
exalted worth and noble virtues.
