John N. Grubbs.

Mr.. John M. Grubbs, who died recently
at his home near Jefferson, Texas. deserv-
ed a more extended notice than that
accorded him in the papers last week.
He was born and reared in Anderson
County and for thirty years or more re-
sided in the Fork, removing thence in
1870 to Texas. In early life he married
Miss Nancy Cox, daughter Of the late
John Cox, q subs tantial citizen living on
the AbbeviIle side of Anderson County,
and sister of Major D. L. Cox, now Of
Sherman, Texas. He reared large
family of children, six of whom survive
him. His wife preceded him to the grave
about year.
Five Of his sons served in the Confed-
crate army, two OF them giving their lives
to the cause. One died in Virginia OF
wounds and the other was killed in the
memorable night fight between Jenkins
Brigade and the Federal hosts in Willis
Valley near Chattanooga in November,
'63. Another, w. T. Grubbs, now Audi
tor Of Oconee County, lost an arm in the
battle of Fredericksburg December 13,
'62, and still another, w. L. Grubbs, now
of Texas, distinguished himself as first
Lieutenant of Co. D., End S. G. Rifles.
In the fall of '63 the exigencies Of the
war drew Mr.. Grubbs himself into SER
vice and he did duty awhile in Charleston
as first sergeant in Capt. I. a. Russelrs
company, and later, during the closing
months OF the struggle, he was in active
service in the field as tirst-Lieutenant
Co. E., Barnetts Battalion of State troops.
In all the relations of life Mr.. Grubba
was strictly honorable and was always 9
leading spirit in the community where
his lot was cast.
Under the old regime he was for 8
number of years magistrate and made
capable officer. TIewas man of affairs
and being a good farmer always had
around him the comforts of life..
He was lifelong Baptist, and while
he was loyal to the tenets Of his church
there was no trace of bigotry in his COM
position, and those who knew him never
discounted his professian of religion.
The news of his death will carry sad
ness into many homes in Anderson
County, and elsewhere:

The farmers of this community are
great deal further advanced with their
planting and working of their crops than
they have ever been before at this season
of the year. We suspect that the reason
why it's that way is because they have
had an unusual amount Of fair weather
to work in, and another because they
have decided that there's no pay in six or
seven cents cotton, and are raising more
hogs, more corn, and less Of the heecy
staple.

am in my seventy-third year, and for
fifty years I have been great sufferer
from indigestion, constipation and bill
iousness. I have tried all the remedies
advertised for these diseases and got no
permanent relief About one year ago,
the disease assuming more severe and
dangerous form, I became very weak and
lost flesh rapidly. I commenced using
twelve pounds in three months. My
strength and health, my appetite and my
digestion were perfectly restored and now
I feel as young and vigorous as I ever did

Caring for. the Graves Of Federal Sol

Not long ago We received q letter from
Maj. A @. Hill. Of Calais, Maine, who was
resident of Anderson just after the Civil
War, holding Government position
Assistant Quartermaster. In it he wished
/ to know if, on Decoration Day, when the
graves of our Confederate Soldiers were
decorated, any attention was paid to the
six Federal graves In one Of our cemeteries:
if not, he wished to hire some one to do.it.
f We referred his inquiry to Miss Lenora
Hubbard, and asked her to please give
him information in regard to the graves
mentioned. Miss Hubbard answered his
letter, stating that on Decoration Day the
teachers and pupils of Home School gave
the. graves Of those Federal Soldiers the
same attention as those Of fConfederates, in
addition placing small U 8 flag among
the flowers OH those to distinguish them
from the Southern Soldiers. Maj. Hill,
