The funeral service over the remain


The funeral service over the remains
of Willie. Compton was held at the
CONGREGATIONAL church last Thursday.
The building was filed to its utmost
capacity with relatives and mourning
friends of the deceased young man, cut
off in the very spring of life. The
remarks Of Rev. Mr.. Norris were
touching, pathetic. and severe to the
ears of those who, unwittingly or 9th
erwise, led the poor hey TO seek death
as a panaoea for life's terrible woes.
No more telling commentary upon the
obligations we all owe, one to another,
could have been penned than is being
so wildly written upon the public
mind by the taking off Of poor Willie,
SO untimely, so sad, so deplorable in all
its aspects. Sit thou who were his
boon companions halt, and reflect and
if possible make amends for souls be-
reaved, happiness destroyed. hearts
almost broken and homes blighted, by
turning their steps away from the road
which leads to death as sure as the
dawning betokens the day, and ipto

ness. prosperity and happiness now,
and through all eternity. The occurs

THE CONvENTIONs To.MoRRow.

The delegates elected last Saturday
will assemble at the exposition build
ing tomorrow to nominate a legisla-
tive ticket. The importance of put
ting forth a good, well balanced set Of
men has probably not been more felt
in the last ten years. The people
manifested their deep interest by
attending the primary meetings
and choosing generally the very
best citizens available to
serve as delegates. We may,
therefore look for dignifed proceedings
and satisfactory results. The conven.
tion was first called by the regular
democratic county committee, that
managed the late county canvass with
such admirable tact, skill and bold.

organized to manage a certain wing or
element of the party with reference to
the gubernatorial canvass, fell into line
and waived its authority for the pres

sides in this unfortunate but honest

Yesterday the peoples candidate,
S. f. Wilson, addressed the largest
and most enthusiastic assembly that
has been here since the war. Wilson
fully came up to the expectations of
his friends, aud for two hours and ten
minutes he held the audience SPELL
bound by his orderly and logical state
ment of facts, and, at intervals, by
his powerful appeals to their indepen-
denee and patriotism, he aroused his
hearers to the highest pitch of enthu-
siasm. Applause after round of APP
plause shook the solid columns of the
courthouse. 1t was an old-fashioned
ield-day for democracy, and several
of the scattering Wright men
left here enthusiastic for Wilson.
That Wilson will carry this county
by an overwhelming majority is con-
coded by all. That Wilson made
many converts here yesterdy is beyond
question. l say that Wright cannot
get over two hundred votes in this
county, but here aret the opinions of our
county officials as to the relative
strength of Wilson and Wright.

and he as well as Others whose names

in this county ten to one.
T. j. Walker, our register, says
that Wilson will beat Wright ten or
eleven to one.
The county surveyor, w. P. Cole
man and the county superintendent,
W. P. Clark, as we'll as II. c. Hunter,
late sheriff, all these officials assure
me that they think the county trus-
tees estimate agrees with their
opinion. 1t is useless for me to give
the opinions of many leading citizens;
as they agree with the estimate of our
county officials, l omitted above,

speaking, expressed themselves in the
strongest terms for Wilson. Many Of
