graduation he was admitted to the

1864 he was again elected to the
Senate, the State at that time being

war he was elected District Judge
by the Legis ature. In 1880 he
was elected Probate Judge and
held that Office from that time un

was elected over two worthy COM

death of Judge Witherspoon. This
Sad occurrence took place at his
residence at 1880 O'Clock u. M,
Thursday, Nov. "a, 1898. His death
was unexpected and was a shock to
the entire community with which
he had been identified all his life.
He had been indisposed for about
ten days, but being subject to at
tacks of asthma his family hoped
to the last that his last attack
would pass off rs the previous
ones had, but being weak and aged
he Succumbei. His mind was
perfectly clear to the last and he
suffered no pain. Indeed, his life
gradually went out rs burns the
candle to the socket. He EXPRESS
ed doubts about his recovery but
at the same time stated that he
''had submitted all to the will of
Got. ."
The people loved him for he was
he friend Of cvcrybody. He was
charitable in his feelings towards
others. Never harsh IN his criti-
ciSms. He was II wise counsellor,
and II patriotic citizen. The cs.
TEEN in which he was held was
manifested at the Presbyterian
church Thursday afternoon ut 3:2O
O'Clock, by the large Attendance
of citizens, both white and color
ed, who crowded the church. The
services were conducted by sRev.
j + Carlisle of the Methodist
Church, assisted by Rev. j. II.
BolR'idge of the Baptist Church,
and Rev. w & Ewart Of the AS
soo;ate Reformed Church.
The honorary pail bearers were
r + Allison, Esq, j w Hassel-
tine, ID n Mackey, DR.. j + Mack

ID a Williams, and Col. j n
Crockett.
The active pail bearers were r
L Beatty, j p Allison, j f Taylor,
Ernest Moore, II G McIIwaine,
w & Thomson, Col Leroy Springs
and w = Bennett.
As the pail bearers entered the
church the choir softly sang ''Lead
Kindly LIght". The other hymns
during the service were elbow

the Lore land "Asleep in Jesus. :"
The remarks of Rev. j + Carlisle
were most appropriate, and
brought tears to the eyes of many

after the services in the church
