JAMES SHELTON

The subject Of this sketch died at Wau.
kesha, Wis, where lie had gone in search
Of health on Monday morning last at II
o'clock. For more than a year Mr.. Shell
TON had been afflicted with liver trouble
and his death, though sudden, was moi
altogether unexpected. In fact, when
several months ago he left his home in the
hope that change Of climate might bring
relief, those who were familiar with his
condition doubted il he would ever be re-
stored to health. II was hoped, however
that though the worst might come, he
would be permitted to return to his home
where, surrounded by his loved ones, and
the friends Of life time, he could peace
fully enter on that sleep which knows no
waking.
Mr.. SHELroN was about thirty-eight
years Of age, and during nearly all of his
lite the writer was intimately associated
with him. His school days were before
and during the war, until 1868, when he
enlisted in the Confederate cavalry service
A. a member Of one Of the companies in
Gen Writ Adams command. After the
war he devoted himself to the study Of the
law, and having obtained a license was
admitted to a partnership with his father
Judge DAVID SHELTON. The business Of
the firm was large and constantly increas-
ing, and the junior member found himself
at once in the midst OF practice which put
him to the ueverest tests. He applied him
seli faithfully and laboriously to his duties
and success crowned his efforts. In the
relation OF attorney none was ever more
faithful to his client, and his course as a
member Of the bar.wa free from suspicion
of other aims than a devotion to duty
and an honorable ambition to succeed in
anything he undertook.
Mr.. SHELTON had not much taste foI
public life. While he was social and en-
joyed the society of his friends, he wai
most modest aud retiring in his disposition
| In fact his modesty was an almost constan
source Of embarrassment to him, and t.
the day Of his death, Notwithstanding hi
association with tho public, he Away
shrank from being placed where he woul'
be conspicuous. For others, however
whether impelled by friendship or sens
Of professional or private duty, he wa
brave and bold, and shrank from no respon
sibility.
He was honorable among men, an
keenly sensitive to the requirements G
gentlemanly intercourse. Among wome
he was gentle, and had high appreciation
of the Difference and respect to which the
J are entitled lie was useful to his friend
and always ready to serve them.
We have noted few of the characteristic
Of the deceased such as gave color to h
life; butth attractions which have bound b
friends to him so that they weep when the
, think Of his death, are among the thing
, which neither pen nor tongue can tell.
the faith that he has found in the 9TH
, world that relief from suffering which couI
D not be had here, we pray that our Max
Z will comfort all those who mourn h

favorably with most cities of its size. In
