cherish his memory. On Sunday after
noon, after appropriate funeral services
conducted by Rev. DR.. Frierson ut the
home of the deceased, the remains were
inferred at the Silver Brook Cemetery.
The Jacksonville tFla.) Times Union, OF
the 10Th inst, speaks as follows of an An
dersun boy "Mr s. Pau! Brown returned
to the city Yesterday after three.weeks'
trip down the Indian river and at St. Au-
gustine. Mr.. Brown is under AN engage
ment to tour the world as special CORES
pondent for several newspapers and
New York syndicate. He was to have
started on this trip in January, but the
destinations of another season in Florida
induced him to postpone it for awhile, and
his pleasant scjourn amongst old friends
here will be beautiful memory to carry
on bis travels. Mr.. Brown expects to sail
for South America, his first objective
point abroad, early next month. After
doing" that continent, his itinerary will
include Australia, the Ordent China, Ja-
pan, India, etc and down into Africa.
He will not follow the beaten path of the
average tourist and traveller, but will seek
the byways rather than the highways of
travel-country districts rather than cities
and his letters will naturally be of
different character to those that usually
come from travelling pondents. Mr..
Brown, since entering the field some years
since, has taken high rank in journal
ism. His newspaper experience was
gained in Atlanta, and chiefly under that
friend and disciple of Henry Grady,
Josiah Carter, the present editor and man
ager of the Atlanta Daily Herald. Mr..
Brown has many friends in this and ad-
joining States, who will watch with great
interest for bis letters. An experience of
eight years. travel in this country has
amply equipped him for the duties of
successful correspondent and globe-trot-
ter"
Another one of Anderson Countys old
est and most upright citizens has been
called from time into eternity. We eallude
to the death of our venerable friend, Mr..
Samuel N. Webb, which occurred sud-
denly on his plantation in Varennes
Township last Monday morning, about
o'clock. Coroner Wright was notified of
Mr.. Webb's death and during the day
held an inquest oyer the remains. The
verdict of the Jury was that his death re-
suited from natural causes-supposed to
be apoplexy. Mr.. Webb resided with his
son, Mr.. Baker Webb, and on Monday
morning he arose from his bed at his
usual hour, apparently 10 his usual health.
After eating hearty breakfast he decided
to go down to the home of Mr.. H. W.
Dorr, tenant on his plantation, about
three quarters of mile distant. He
walked down there and was greeted by
Mr.. Dorr in his yard. The latter invited
him into the house to eat breakfast, but he
excused himself by saying be had been to
breakfast. Mr.. Dorr then left him and
went to breakfast. In few minutes Mr..
Dorr heard peculiar noise outside, and,
upon going out, found Mr.. Webb pros
trate on the ground. A messenger was
at once sent for physician and several OF
the neighbors called in, and everything
possible was done for the dying man, but
he soon breathed bis last. Mr.. Webb was
a native of Abbeville County, but had re-
sided in the neighborhood where he died
for the past fifty years. He was good
citizen in every sense of the word, and
perhaps had as few enemies as any man.
He lived up 10 the golden rule, "do unto
others as you would have them do unto |
you." He was q consistent Christian,
and for twenty. i've years or more served
as a ruling elder in the Presbyterian
Church, which he joined in his youth.
Mr.. Webb was twice married, both wives
having preceded him to the grave. He
leaves several children to mourn bis
death. On Tuesday his remains were bu-
ried at Flat r. < Church, Rev. DR.. Frier-
son conducting the funeral services.
