only, and much beloved brother, an aid de

up ni- life for our cause on the battlefield

Although attending closely 10 the busi-
ness oi his ciieutage, aud the interest OF
those committed 20 his care, he always
found time 10 do his duty as a citizen. In
the stirring times oil 1879 he was centra
figure iu Claiborne county, and was univer-
sally recognized as one OF the active party
leaders who wrested the state from the
dominion OF Radical miSrule. He was a
member of the last two State Conventions.
and IN 1881 he made the speech nomina
ing John Nj. Stone for Governor, which,
boy many capable ones, was pronounced
the most exquisite piece OF oratory ever
heard at the Capital.
The only office the deceased eyer filled,
OF a-plred 70, was that of State Senator
Tor the 2Stn District, and 70 which he
was elected in November last. He was
rendered oy Gov stone the position OF
Brigadier.GeueraI oI militia, but declined
IT, giving as reason, that as circumstances
beyond hls shaping had denied TO HIM the
privilege and desire of his heart To share
with his people the trials and reyerses OF
actual WaF, his sensitive nature could not
consent TO assume a utle aud serve IN a
mock pageantry Like his uncle, the cav
