Since the great political cyclone has
passed, and we think all campaign passion,
If there were any, has subsidized, and the
people are ready again to notice domestic
affairs, we again feel like taking our pen
and giving the many readers of your valu.
able paper the news from Weyers Cave.
AS we have not written for several months
OF course it is expected of US to make a
monthly report.
Since we last wrote some of Or most
esteemed citizens have passed away.
Among the number Mr.. Jno. Roller, Mr.
Hugh Cassidy, Mr.. Byerly, near MI.
Meridian; Mr.. Chapman, near Burktown,
and Mrs. Richie, one of our nearest neigh
bors. In her. friends have lost neighbor,
children true mother, and the church
devout christian. When we think OF her
last hours we are made to exclaim in the
language of Balaam, LET me die the
death of The righteous" Her funeral was
preached by Rev. Isaac Long, from "a
Tim. 4th chapter, 6, Z and verses, by re-
quest of deceased.

believe, very good however, we have not

Politics running at low tide-everybody

claim they have found it in the 'over-con-

it is. We are able to furnish the names of

O'Clock in apparent good health and spirits.
About 5 o'clock Saturday morning his
wife was awakened by Mr.. II. throwing
his left arm over her. The repeated mo-
zion OF his arm. without any utterance from
him indicated to Mrs. Fl. that something
was wrong, and procuring a light, she dis
covered that her husband was insensible,
and that his whole right side was paral
wed. Assistance was instantly summoned
and Drs. Shelton and Patterson at once
sent for. 1t was found that the stroke was
a very severe one-that the patient was
unable to speak and that he was entirely
helnless and unconscious. During the day
his pulse. which rated at thirty-fve beats
increased to sixty, and by the next morn
ing had reached seventy-one. There was
a partial return of consciousness on sun
day, so much SO that he gave signs OF re-
cognizing friends who were permitted Into
his room. His father had arrived in Staun-
