A Coed Nzarl Gone.

The death of Mr.. Nathan Chris
tie on last Friday, created sorrow
in the minds of all those who had
known and esteemed him for long
years past. He died at the home
of his son, Hon. S r Christie, mt
the advanced age of84 years. He
was a central figure that linked the
earlier and better days of this sec
ton to the days that we are now
tying to grasp in their per>
plexities and trials. From early
boyhood, a member of the Metho>
dist Episcopal Church, he lived
and moved among us as a type
of sold MethodismN with its hall
lowed associations clinging to him.
In the rural graveyard of Pierce
Chapel, his remains now rest,
awaiting the morning of the Res
direction, when the dead in Christ
shall rise first. His much loved
pastor, the Rev. F A Branch, con-
signed his body to the grave in the
beautiful words of the liturgy of
the church that he loved so we'll,
Truly in our sorrow, heartfelt sym,
pathies 60 out to the bereaved
ones.

The UnluCklest Family in History,
SUBSCRIBER.

II the republican party managers
had secured the highways and by
ways they could not have found a
man with a more ominous name
than Harrison.
Generations ago one of the early
Harrisons took al active part in the
execution of Charles the First. For
a time all went well with him, but
when the second Charles came to
the throne the luckless regicide was
condemned to death, and the sent
ence was CARED out under circum~
stances of signal atrocity.
The Harrison who signed the dec
laration of indeper dence was per-
haps the most fortunate member of
the family, but if the story of his
lite could now be told in full it
would doubtless appear that he did
not escape his share of trouble.
William Henry Harrison had
fate against him. In his military
operations in the northwest the mis-
takes of his subordinates came very
near crushing him, and the cam
paign would not have been succ
cess if it had not been for the vic
tories won on the lakes by the navy.
He was elected to the presidency
only to die within month after he
entered the white house.
The presidents son, John Scott
Harrison. was the victim of a hor-
rible outrage. His body was stol-
en-, sold to a medical college, and
accidentally found and recognized
m the dissecting room by the dead
mans son.
The Harrison who is now put
forward by the republicans as their
standard bearer is the lineal de-
scendant of these Inflated men.
His political career has been a sue
cession of failures. He failed to
get the nomination for governor
IN 1872, and when he secured
the nomination in 1875
he failed to get elected. AT the
expiration of his one term in the
senate the people retired him.
Even this breaf summary makes
1t appear that the Harrisons were
born under unlucky stars. 1t will
not do to laugh all this away as a
superstitlous fancy. The masses
and many intelligent and cultured
men are influenced by just such
things. One OF the most success,
ful of our fnanciers made it a rule
never to have anything to do with
an unlucky man as friend, con-
fldant or employee.
1t goes without saying that Har-
rlson is not a name to coniure
with. Atlanta Constitution.

Primus Green, a colored constable from the
Ogeechee, brought such a crowd of negro
prisoners, bound with stout ropes, to the

aHoat. 1t was town talk that two or three
murders had been committed over on tho
Ogeechee, and that there had been bloody
riot Slfted down, it was found that three
or four weeks ago there was a row between
Sam Brown and another negro return
lug from a rattle, in which Brown claims
that his antagonist stabbed him with n
knife. The other negro, whose name was not
learned, was pretty badly worsted in the
melee, and when he recovered sufficiently
be went before Justice Mcleod King and
took out warrants against Brown and seven
other negroes, who were in the crowd at the
time Of the fracas, and in default of bond
they were sent to Jail. The ARRAY occurred
on the Cunningham plantation on the Ogee-
