DEACON ROBERT LITTLE.

Dear Courier: / have just hesrd Of that
faithful man Of God, DR.. Robert Little, Of
Kelton, S. c., and ask the use of your COL
umns to pay a humble tribute to his memory.
To say that loved him, as that word is too
frequently used, but feebly expresses the
feeling that had for him for the true man
hood-lhe beautiful Christ-like-ness-the
loyalty to Gyd and his truth, the kindness
10 his fellow-man, especially to the poor,
and the devotion to his friends which wsge
conspicn4ns IN hi:stz ;s;s lie was as true
as steel, rs firm as n rock, as gentls as q ten
dcr-heartea woman, and untirng in his
efforts to promote the cause of Christ aud
the good Of humanity. Although he was q
man of aff"irs, aud for many years had an
extensive and exacting medical practice, was
busy in managing n large farming inte-e3i,
and was regarded by the public as a servant,
who must ever obey Its hehests, he gave the
best of his life and his powers to religion,
and allowed no oher claim to Interfere with
his obligations TO Jesus. l have known him
to arise a midnight and visit the large num-
ber of patients that claimed his att enti1n in
order that he might have the forenoon of he
Sabbath to devote 10 worship in the Sunday
School and church service. Indeed, he al
ways made his worldly affairs bend to his
religious obligations, and seemed ou'y c,n-
csrned TO know and do tho will of Got.
He will be sadly missed in his neighbor-
hood by all classes. The young will miss him
because tS !hsR he lha lXsao OIL win feel hi. loss
because he knew how to sympathize
with them in their iofirmitics, nnd to
help and comfort them in al their trials.
The rich and the poor, the black as veil rs the
white have all lost friend in whom they
could safely trust.
Mt. Joy Church was largely built through
his efforts, and from the day the little band
OF sixteen formed themselves into n church
of Christ. until the day Of his death they re-
garded him as their leader, and knew that
he was always wiling TO carry the be,vies,
burdens and most of the work That nob'e
band of earnest workers will sadly miss him.
God grant that his mantle may fall u; On
many of them, and that they may emul,,e
his example in pressing forward The Lords
work.
My heart goes out to his afflicted wife in
her sore bereavement, and may her sou be
just such another man as his father was.
Brother Lite was my friend. During
the yers was related to him as ras,or he
stood by mo in every trial, every conflict,
and strengthened by hands in every effort TO
carry forward the Masters work. Nor did
he cease to be my friend, when l cease 10 be
his pastor; but our love for each other grew
stronger Us the years went by. shall feel
lone y without him; md yet kn wv he lives
with Jesus the life whichhe began TO live ere
below. A noble man Of God hos fallen no, n
saint has arisen 10 be forevir with Christ.

A BirtArish. for a Song.

AsRsyILLx, N. c., January 1S.--Betws on
sixty and seventy thousand acres of the tim.
ber lands in Madison County in this State,
wctesbought on Friday las, Ly Boston syn
dicatc. George ii. King. Of Kansas City,
Mo, director ofthe New England Southern
Timber and Land Company of Tennessee, and
Horace d. King, Of Lynn. Mass, treasurer
of that company, yesterday completed nego-
tiations for the purchase of the William
Johnst'n timber and mineral lands in Madi-
son County. The spot cash paymcpta16a
$9l 600, the consideration for tho va
ing $4,000.
The timber is the best in this section Sll
tho tract is known to contain immerse de-
pos Is Of magnetic iron ore. This company
is composed mostly Of Massachusetts capital
lists, who contemplate ,apil development
OF This splendid, property.
About tweuty-three years ago, as agent
for wealthy syndicate at New York, we
contracted with Mr.. vii lam Johns on, for
the purchase Of the urge tract Of land a'lud-
edto, IN Madison County, at either 70 cents
or 81 nm mere, We have forgotten which, but
when the deed Of conveyance was drawn up
by Mr.. Johnston's Attorney-bis con Thos.
we think, who was afterwards elected to
Cong, ces from that Disrict-a clause was
inse, tod retaining a consi lerable interest
in NIL the minerals that may be discover ed
| on those lands. The Company we represent
| cl could not accept the deed with the incum-
brance of that clause in il, as it was Intended
to settle the lands with Emigrauts, by selling
them small tracts or farms at reasonable
prices and on long terms Of payment, gusran,
tce;nn claar- -liil>a- nuturnI1y
cautious and suspicious whom -hnsi-e, 4; - -
and il was we'll understood by the Company
tba, nothing but a fee simple and unclouded
title would satisfy them, and if such haw
| or incumtrance was discovered it would
create .uspic;ou of fraud and the whole
scheme of tho Company would fall through
or thcre would be great danger of buying
Intern 'nable lawsuits.
At that time we were told, by those VIII
knew the whole tract, that 10000 acres o
the land was, without doubt, as fine as an.
in the world, for Agricultural purposes, an
wurth ten dsl'ars an acre, while the timte
ON it would be worth millions of dollar
more when railroad was built through il
bcsid, the large deposits of magnetic iro
ore which is seen cropping out in man
parts of the property, enhanced its value
almost incredi,able amount. 1t, howeve'
would require more experience in such ma
ters, more money and greater fscili'ies fe
,, the work than the Johnson family could con
maud TO develop its full value, aud we thin
they have made n good trade, while the Sy
dica,e viii make lots Of money out Of it, au
, benefit Western North Carolina equally
much as themselves.

KE.ron, jan. l9.--Mr. Editor. Kelton has
changed her appearance to some extett IN

streets, 49, \. &,

Well, Mr.. Editor, l havo said enough
about shooting for this time, SO will say q

pSA. The total shortage in Adjutaut Gen.
Bonham's accounts is ascertained to be
$5,52S; but it will be made good promptly.
The State will not lose dollar. In Gen.
Bonham's statement to Gov. Tillman, lie
says: Under the stress Of circumstances of
a nature both painful nnl delicate, and
which, therefore, beg not to refer to here,
had overdrawn my account at the Bank,
but had made arrangements 10 meet these
checks as they were presented but during
my absence number of them unex pectedly
came in and were protested for non -paS-
ment.'

ruption, rottenness, &c in the State Govern
mont but, rs the Editor of tho Greenville
Ne,os says:
Governor Tillman deniel having made
any such charge and his supporters have
indignantly denied it for him. If he did
make them, as everybody understood that he
did, his denial amounted to reiraction -
He changed his ground early in the canvass.

The exposure came promptly aud nobody
has tried to hide or soften the fact. General
Bonham himself owns up squareiy and
promises to restore every dollar of State
money he has used. II is likely that moth
ing will be lost to the State; and SO far as
human knowledge goes precisely the same
revelations and conditions would have come
if Earle or Bra,ton or anybody else had been
chosen Governor, or even If General Bonham
himself had been reelected.
There is no reason or fairness 10 saddlinx
the old State government or any part Of il
with one mans misstep. Nobody else but
himself could know Of what he had dooc or
could share bis guilt. Nori is there any credit
