DEATH OF MIR. JOHN GEORGE.

and the cruel archer carried off not
only the dark vestments OF the grave
as trophies of his fatal skill, but list
ened with no sympathetic ear to the
anguish Of the wife, the screams of
the little children and the sobs of the
sisters, at the death of Mr.. John
George, who expired after Il long and
lingering Hines, on Tuesday last, at
Hurricane Springs, near Nashville,
Tenn. surrounded by sympathiztng
strangers, he yielded up ~ brave Il
| spirit as eVcr crossed the boundaries
Of the spirit land. A foreigner by
birth, an american by adoption, Il
s]outherner by choice, a soldier in the
late war; by courage, u gentleman by
association, Il man of business by
success, a Lutheran by religion, our
county has lost n Of her best citi-
Zens, our town One Of her strongest
factors, society Il friend, humanity al
| advocate, and benevoleuce all eXem-
piar. Mr.. Georges virtues, like the
rocks OF his Scandinavian ancestors,
were rather rugged than polished, but
as true to truth and duty as the i'm
bedded fire of the flint, needing but
little friction TO bring them out in all
their pristine strength. Looking to
his own interest he carried on his
business without cunning or evasion
and by observing all of its legal re-
strictions and moral injunctions, Sc
cured the confidence of the public
and thereby succeeded in building a
]plenteous and happy home wherein,
in the future the dearest ones Of his
affection could nestle in security
when he WAS no more. Public spir-
| tied, he stood ready to eXpend his
surplus nleans so as to beautifN the
town while cnlarging his individual
resources, As a part OF our munich
pal corporation his views were al
ways ~unseltish and progressive, and
| presented without fear on the One
hand or favor on the other. He was
a mar of strong convictions and pos
tive views, but conservative III THEN

class Of people who make, in times ~
peace, IA nations strength, and il
times OF war her best Defence. Iii,
