VALDOsTA. GA, Jan. 5.-Christmas day,
New Years day, and election day, have come

have their ''home-raised pork and corn" and
most of them do their own work, therefore
they are Independent Of credit prices.

munity ought to congratulate itself at the
election OF men to office of such character and
efficiency. The County Commissioners are
Messrs. Perry, Hightower and Carter.
Messrs. Wiley X Thomas, merchants of this
place. have about finished the largest store
house here. on Patterson street, between Sa-
Yannah and Albany, and Will move into it
about the first Of February next with the
largest stock of goods ever brought to this
town.
Last Tuesday morning the Hon. c. H. NJ.
Howell drove in town to arrange his business
in his usual health About y O'Clock he COM
planned of pain in his head. and was carried
to the Howell House, where he died Of apo
pleNy in a short while. Mr.. Howell was about
! fifty-fOur years old. He was a man of more
| than ordinary strength of character. Firm and
independent in his moral and political con-
yictlOns. he always adhered to that course of
conduct that indicated to his mind fairness
between man and man. He was at one
time Clerk of the Superior Court, Judge
Of the Superior Court, member of the Secession
Convention, represented his county in the
Legislature and held many other positions of
honor. He never sought political Office. The
bitterness of political strife was unpleasant to
him, and. being fond of home and its attrac-
tiOns, he always tried to shun rather than seek
Office. He was the last of the charter mem
bers OF the NaldOsta Lodge of Free Masons,
and was buried in the cemetery here by his
Masonic brethren with the usual ceremonies.

is a common cause, a ground SWELL of
