But he is gone We can only say Gods will be done. Peace to his memory.
 We have written nothing in these columns personal or of an insulting nature lately, about Dr. Norwood. Have three or four times alluded 10 his having moved to Washington last December of his statments made since returning here, that he liked that country and expected to return to it, and asked in which state he was going to claim his citizenship-all in jucular way. The doctor had joked us heavily, before going to Wash ington, saying he was going to get 300 people to follow him there, from this county, and he has no reason now to object to our joking him about coming back. |. We have only stated facts known to great many, susceptible of easy proof, and he can not deny any of it. Mir. Hugh Moncricf and others heard him tell u, he was going to get 500 off from this county; besides telling Us, others have heard him say Inc was going back to Washington; al know he moved there, and, not hay. ing been hack here a year yet, is no, a citizen of this state. Of course he may now intend to stay here-it is none of our business. If the doctor will agree to quit joking us, and de- sires that we quit joking him, we | will call it trade.
