The deceased would have been elghty-two
years old on the 18th instant had she lived to
that time. We shall not attempt anything
ike a full obituary notice. It was not he good
fortune OF the writer to be personally acquair-
ted with this mother in Israel, but some of our
friends who enjoyed that privilege have given
us correct idea of her character and we feel
sustained in saying that 1t was that of a
lovely Christion woman-more than this could
not be said were we to write volumes.
She left several children who are comforted
by the blessed assurance that she has enter ed
| nto eternal rest, and is now enjoying the joys
which are prepared for the just who have been
| made perfect.
She was and had been for a number OF years
member of the Presbyterian Church and the

Death of william LESLEY. ESQ.

Last week another aged and highly esteemed
citizen of Augusta county passed away. Mr..
William LESLEY died at his residence near
Laurel Hill ON the 30th ultimo. at the advanc-
ed age of nearly lightweight years. He died
in the old family residence where he was born
and lived all his life, and which was the home
also of his ancestors.
Mr.. LESLEY was possessed o! good mind and
very strong reasoning powers. He opposed
the selection of men for public station on the
mere ground of availability, and strenously
insisted on qualification in every instance. OF
the old Wing faith In politics, he naturally be-
came democrat in the changed condition OF
public affairs years ago, and always exercised
the duties of a citizen under the gravest sense
of responsibility. Mr.. LESLEY never married.
He had long been consistent member of the
Presbyterian church and worshipped in the
old Augusta Church-the sanctuary of his faith
ers. Beneath the old, majestic sepulchral oaks
ct that place his form was laid to rest on the
End instant. He had been unwell for only a
few days before his death. At this time the
Augusta Church is without PASTOR and Rev.
Mr.. Brierley, of the M. E. Church South, con-
Quoted the funeral service at the church.
A few years ago we could name several vener.
able citizens of Augusta. who had been con-
tinuously subscribers of the SPECTATOR from
its establishment in 1923. Lstely three. like
ripened shocks of corn, have been gathered
from the field of life, and now but one of those
first and continuous supporters of this old
journal, whose subscriptions commenced 81
years ago, is left of that strong array of names
| OF citizens ofsterling worth. Mr.. LESLEY wai
one of the number. Peace to his ashes and
honor to his memory. His virtues were worthy
| the emulation of the youth of the commu-
nifty in which he lived and where his memory
will be affectionately cherished.
