PHILADELPHIA, Sep. 10, 1888.
The city is being made more populous
every day now that the summer tourists
and pleasure seekers are coming back.
The dry good stores are not filling up in
like manner, however, as noticed when
in one of our large retail houses the

bottom will drop out of this trade stag

somebody's going to break before the
new year comes in, if trade doesn't get
better. Yet perhaps great impetus will
be inauguratcd before fortnight, and
the people worked up to buying humor.

much popularity in any one article i'll

a Remarkable Man Dead.
MoFFATTsv1LLE, S. G., Feb. %.

Editors htelligcneer: I think the follow
ing worthy of mention in your valuable
paper: was called professionally to see
one of the oldest men in MI this country
-old "uncle" Johnnie Soigler. He died
OH Thursday evening, the 18th day Of
February, from congestion OF the lungs.
If the deceased had lived until the 18th
day of June next, he would have COM
pleted his 9th year. Flow few at this
day and time even approximate such an
age. He was q remarkable man il many
particulars. Healthy all his life; lived
almost exclusively on the very plainest
diet, .'his corn bread, bacon aud greens"
Dyspepsia, the comn,onest complaint OF
our entire Southern country, was un-
known to him, furnishing another proof
that plain living, il not the most palata-
BILE, is certainly the most healthy. He
lived OIL this kind of diet until the day of
his death often rsu,arking that nothing
suited him half So we'll. being always
accustomed to hard aud Industrious life,
he was not contented unless engaged at
some manual work, and did so up to a
month or so before his death. He was
liked by all who knew him, young and
old; was kind, charitable, energetic and
honest to tho bone. You have often
heard Of honest Billy" He was GER
tainly known rs "honest Johnnie" He
was not widely known, for he WAS al
ways happier aud better contented at his
own humble little log cabin. He believed
right was right, and his motto was the
golden rule-to do Ypto others as he
would be done by. He never made a
profession of religion, but always lived a
strict, moral, upright and consistent life.
His belief as to the future world was sim
ply this: that if he lived honest and up
right, and treated all mankind Us neigh
bors, he would be rewarded hereafter.
This one fact is certain: that the entire
communltFin which he lived will miss
the good, brawny, honest face of old
Uncle Johnnie. Peace be to his memory.
