with unkempt locks and vacant. staring

long flint lock rife and bunch OF pelt-
ries. They lookeu about them in open
mouth amazement. and asked such naive
questions that the iclets about the tavern
had great sport in answering. They were
! particularly curious over game of cards

The father, meantime, walked about,
the very picture of uneasiness More
than once he laid hands on his son as
though to drag him away. By and by he
tuned up his fiddle and began playing
now bar, now snatch of some back
woods jig or breakdown. Simultaneously
the son began to play in Niger luck. ,
He held surprising hands. and made MS
bets with a blundering shrewdness that
landed him winner or saved HIM from

father begged him to stop and come on

the hills, an dark would ketch 'em shore.
The new player was deaf to his faith

the table and at last got up, with all but

he iurched away, leaving in no mind a
suspicion that he was other than no

pair they were trainping off to the notes
of Old Dan Tucker, drawn painfully from
the fiddle. Those they had left said it
was but one more illustration of blind
and tickle fortune. They held that mind
until the next week, when passengers up
the river let them know that the pair of
seeming greenhorns were in reality two
of the shrewdest gam blers on the Missis-
sippi. The fiddle, tuneless as it was,
spoke q cipher which the player under
stood, and told him exactly what was in
the hands opposed to him and what line
of play his antagonists were following.

Obituary..

| Geo. w. Hawthorne was born Jan
uary IS, 1884, in Abbeyville District
South Carolina. When four years old,
he moved with his parents to Warren
county, o., where he remained two
years, and then moved to Brown county,
and settled on a farm near Five Mile
where he lived until about ten years
ago, when he moved to farm neal
Jacksonville, from which he went to the
the spirit land. On April 81, at a. m,
he bid farewell to earthly things, at the
age of 6l yrs, mon., and days.
On May 81, 1856, he was united in
marriage to Miss Orpha Maloot. God
blessed this union with ten children,
four SONS and six daughters, all of whom
are still living.
In the dark days of 1861, when the
Nation was threatened with war caused
by the seeding of the South, among
them his own mother State, he bid good
bye to his dear wife and three precious
ones, and went out with his three broth
ers perhaps to meet in the opposing
lines, kindred in the flesh. One brother
gave his life upon the altar of his coun.
try while the others were spared to re.
turn to their homes.
The deceased enlisted in Company K,
9th o.. V. l., for three years and was
honorably discharged. He has been a
pensioner foI years, and was member
of the G. A. R., at Lynchburg. Although
a stout young man, he has been broken
down for years, caused from exposure
during the war. He suffered a great
deal and has been under surgical opera.
tions, but only to find that there was no
recovery. His only hope was that he
might rally when spring came. But no!
He was to 90 hence to be no more among
us. He has answered the last roll call
here and we have laid his emancipated
body away to await the trumpet of the
Supreme Commander, who will call him
forth to crown him with the crown of
immortality. Comrades of the G. A. r.,

and you step up one more step nearer
the columns that are passing one by one
to the now veiled side to us. As you
stand in the ante room waiting, have
on your soldierly equipments, having
fought the good fight of faith. that each
may receive from the CAPTAIN of our sal.
vation, the badge of honor, which is
eternal life. And to family and friends,
would say, so live, that when you
come to face the common enemy, death,
that you meet him, conquer, and use
him as a servant to carry you home.
'Tis hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the heart,

Dearest loved one we have laid thee,
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.
Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding,
Der the spoils that death has won,

Calmly say, "Thy will be DONE"
Though cast down, we're not forssken,
Though afflicted, not alone,
Thou didst give aud thou hast taken,
Blessed Lord, Thy will be done :"
