was one of the physicians of the camp.
The late Captain Alphonse Hurtel, of
the Twenty-fourth Alabama, had been
placed in temporary charge of the
prison, and one day Yankee prisoner
gave him one hundred dollar green
back bill to keep, fearing theft on the
part of other prisoners. Shortly after

Hurtel sent the money to his wife in

he did not send for it, and the Con-
federacy fell, to use it. When Mobile
surrendered. that 500 was @ godsend
to one of the many impoverished fami-
lis of the Gulf city. And now the
strange sequel Ten years after the
close of the war, one day while Cap

poor and ragged soldier walked in and
asked; ''Is this Captain Hurtel?" At

Obituary.



1t Is with deep regret and sadness that hay 10
announce the death of one Of our most honored
and respected citizens, Mr. James NJ. Butler. since
my earliest recolleetions he has held offices Of
trust and responsibility, faithfully performing his
duty in all; for great many years he has held the
Office ofjustice of the peace and prominent places
In town affairs he also represented the community
where he resided, at our session of the State Leg
islature, some years previous. For many months
Mr.. Butler had been great sufferer though brigh
and hopeful, till consciousness left him. On Sat
urtiay the End, he seemed to rally for few shor,
moments, his last words being How beautiful
how beautiful" when he fell asleepto awake with
Jesus. We would not call him back though it VIII
be hard to fill his place IN our small community
where he was ever ready in sickness or death to
lend helping hand, both in active service and
cheerful, kindly encouragement; great sympathy
is felt for his sorrowing wife and children though
we cannot realize their grief If we have not passed
through the same bitter trial. Yet though our
friend has left us. his memory will live with us as
a true christian and an honorable man. n. Y.
