ONE or TAs OLD GUARD.

A very large number Of the readers Of
the Democrat share with the publishers
in a sense Of personal loss on hearing Of
the death of Nathan ). Baker Of Newry.
For period the length OF which we can
not definitely stste, but which began be-
fore the present proprietors assumed
charge of the Democrat thirteen years
ago, Mr.. Baker has been the representa-
tive of the Democrat in Newrv. During
that time he has not failed, except in
rare instances, for sickness or other un-
avoidable cause, 10 send in his weekly
report OF the happenings Of his town.
There was. of course, not much 10 relate,
in that little community; but such as
there was he faithfully chrouicled. Such
a regular, unfailing correspondent is the
local papers best friend, and the value
Of the complete record OF events thus
made is often greater than is generally
realized.
But IL was not simply as q local re-
porter that Mr. Baker was known 20 the
readers of the Democrat. Occasional
thoughtful articles from his pen on mat
tiers Of public concern have both in
terested and instructed, and his poems
have touched the finer sentiments. OF
the original poems which have found
place 10 these columns. some Of the best
have come from Mr.. Baker. 4 trifie
somber in tone, perhaps, some Of them,
but with both the form and the spirit Of
true poetry.
Nor is il BY the works Of his pen alone
that Mr.. Baker was known to the peo-
pie Of the county. He was msn i'm
plicitly trusted, and universally respect
ed and esteemed. 10 his community he
was a power; not by reason Of aggres-
sive qualities, for he was quiet and IN
assuming in his manner, but by his
sterling qualities, which commanded
the admiration Of all who knew him.
The death Of such a man Is loss felt by
the whole community.
