Anderson County loses another old
and highly esteemed citizen in the death
j.
at his home near Townvillc on Tuesday
evening, 18th inst. in the SltI year OF
his age. y few days preceding his
death he accidentally fell from Il chair
IN which he attempted to sit down, and
hurt one of his legs. This brought on
Il nervous shock and he gradually
weakened away until death came to his
relief. The deceased was born and
reared near PickcnS &. H., and about
10, q
where he died. He married Miss Mary
Simpson. OF this County, who preceded
him to the grave Il few years ago. One
son and three daughters survive him.
In his young manhood Mr.. Hunter
joined the Presbyterian Church. and
throughout his life was Il devoted and
exemplary member. In every relation
of life he discharged his duties nobly,
and has left Il name that his descen-
dants can ever point with pride to. On
the day following his death his remains
were laid to rest in the Presbyterian
churchyard at Townville, Rev. w. S.
Hamiter conducting the funeral scrvi-
ces in the presence of q large cOncOursc
OF sOrrOwing friends.
Recent published accounts of cider
seizures in the County are calculated to
do much injury to the parties charged
with violating the dispensary laws by
offering for sale cider alleged to contain
alcohol. A case i'll point is the repeat
Gu references to Mr.. Albert S. Bowie
and his clerk, Mr.. Joseph Ligon, OfIva.
1t is unnecessary to say to those who
are acquainted with these excellent
gentlemen that there is something rad
1cally wrong in the charge preferred
against them, for they are regarded by
their more Immediate neighbOrs as gen
tlemcn Of sterling qualities who are too
conscientious to violate law knowing
". and too careful to be led into it
bllndly. In conversation with prom
inent gentleman Of the Iva section, he
Bowie and Ligon felt outraged at the
scandalous publicity given to the case,
and declared that il it were left to
inry Of the ministers and Church going
people OF that vicinity, the parties in
the case would receive Il mer-
tied rebuke. Mr. Bowie is prosperous
farmer and merchant of Iva, and Mr..
!-igon. his clerk, is son of Rev. II. c:
Lig0n, OF this County, and himself
minister.
Mr.. VIII r. Hubbard passed away Mt
his residence in this city at 7:30 O'clock
last Saturday morning, after a brave
fight Of several months with the dread
however, been confined to his room
only a week, and was not considered
seriously ill until the evening before
his death. Whilcit has been generally
known for some time past that he was
gradually failing III health, the news of
his death came as {: shock and n sur
prise to his friends, the most Intimate
of whom were unacquainted with the
desperate and changed condition which
had SO suddenly become manifest. Dc
ceased was thirty-siN years of age and
was the youngest son of the late Il. ii.
and Jane Hubbard. BY his magnetic
manners and habits Ofintlustry he soon
drew around him IL large and intlucn-
tial circle of friends, whose splendid
patronage was bestowed upon him, ev-
idencing the degree OF confidence in
which he was held by those who knew
him best. Again, when he. after re-
peated solicitations, allowed his name
to be used as q candidate Oralderman,
his friends rallied to his support and
gave him one of the largest votes ever
cast in this city, leading his ticket by
q handsome number of votes. During
