OBITUARY.

GEORGE w. HARDMoND, late pub
Usher of The Erodus, weekly jour
nal published at Washington, D. c.,
died of continent smallpox, in the
city of New York, on Thursday the
18th inst, in the Goth year of his age.
Mr.. Hardmond was born at Elmwood,
Caroline Co., Va, in 1855, and at the
close of the war went with his parents
to Richmond. Early in life he en-
braced hope in Christ and became
member of the Ebenezer Baptist
Church in that city, under the pastor
ate of Rev. Richard Wells in 1871,
soon after which he removed to New
York, where he remained until the
fall of 1873, at which time he went to
Washington and entered Wayland
Seminary, from which institution he
graduated in the summer of 1878.
Mr.. Hardmond was a young man of
much promise, unexceptionable in
character, exemplary in conduct, a
studious scholar, and never the cause
of complaint either from his teachers
or fellow students He was dutiful
son, loving brother, kind friend
"None knew him but to love him. y
Adopting literary pursuits as the
work best suited to his talents, he en-
gagged in the publication of The
Exodus in May, 1880. During his
short life on earth he made many
friends who will sadly miss his always
courteous, welcomiable department,
genial smile, some who will drop a
tear on his new made grave. B.

Aattering to him from the fact that it
has not been manufactured to order
through the systematic efforts of his

any of the different political rings of
the State, with none of which has he
been identified, and it was only in re-

name as a candidate. The people of

GUBERNATO

1t affords us pleasure to observe an
apparently increasing public senti-
ment in favor of the nomination of
Hon. Hans B. Warner for Governor,
and the circumstances that seem like
ly to combine favorably affecting his
candidacy render his nomination not
only possible but extremely probable.
In a recent article upon this subject
the GAINESVILLE Gazette takes occasion
to refer to Mr.. Warner as follows:
''In the discussion of the question OF
who shall be the next State officers,
there is one thing which is quite flat
tering to our Secretary of State. Not
withstanding the large number of
tickets which have been made up, on
a majority of these the name of Hans
B. Warner has been placed as candi-
date for Governor. He seems to be
the most prominent figure in the DIS
cussion of the gubernatorial question
The impression appears to have spread
quite all over the State that he will
lead in the gubernatorial race, and if
he does, the ticket will sweep the
State with the activity and force of a
whirlwind. The name of Hans b.
Warner would add immense strength
to State ticket. He is one of those
popular men who have won a popular
ity through the possession of sterling
good qualities. He is bright, able,
executive officer, thoroughly manly,
personally strong, and one who will
win success by the very force of his
high character. The Republicans
throughout the State would be glad to
have such man as Mr.. Warner head
the ticket. They have confidence in
the man-faith in his ability, trust in
his personal strength, and strong
assurance that he would lend the State
ticket important aid in the guberna-
torial race next fall. The Gazette
/ says this much on the subject in just
many flattering notices in the State
press. and who seems to be the central
/ figure in the discussion of the ques-
ton as to who shall be the next Gov
ernor."
The Gazette is the leading daily Re-
publican paper in the First Congress
ional District and represents a large
Republican constituency. The Chicago
Scandinavian, which circulates large
lv in this State, also gives Mr.. Warner
a fattering and well merited endorse
