The recent admission to the bar of
two OF Decatur County's bright young
men, Professors ]. T. Pence and s. L.
Dar.ah, reminds US Of the Importance
OF their chosen profession, and of how.
great the service that they can render
to their state and nation by proper
Improvement Of the opportunities which
their profession will surely afford. The
popular idea too we'll and too often
sustained by the facts in many cases
we will admit, that it is the business
OF lawyer to stir up litigation and
reap harvest from the quarrels of
his clients, is very far from the view
entertained by the honorable attorney.
He believes and knows chat his chief
work is to assist the court in doing
justice and the litigants who come
before that court; and however often
and however far some may stray. from
this view, it is nevertheless the correct
view of the legal profession. We feel sure
that this will be the leading thought
in the minds of these young men; and
that in following their profession they
will continually seek to lift it to q
higher plane, and thus be OF service to
both themselves and their fellow coun.
trymen. Success to them both.-La.
moni Patriot.

dents and lived among the scenes that
he afterward depicted in Being a
Boy" He prepared for college at Ca
zenovia, N. Y, but his guardian in
tended him for business, and the boy
was for time employed in a drug store
and then in the postoffice. Later, how
ever, he entered Hamilton college, from
which he was graduated in 1851. A
classmate was Joseph r. Hawley, after
ward to become as distinguished in po-
1itical and military life as Warner was
in letters. The two were bound togeth-
er for life by many ties of business and
social associations.
While in college Mr.. Warner contrib
uted to THE Knickerbocker" and PUT
MANS Magazine" He also prepared q
Book of Eloquence," which was pub
lished at Cazenovia in 1858. His health
was poor after his graduation, and in
order to regain it he went to Missouri
with a party of surveyors After this
experience he entered the law depart
ment of the University of Pennsylvania,
where he was graduated in 1856. He
then practised his profession for four
years in Chicago.
But the legal profession was not to
be his life work. Returning to the east
he became assistant editor of the Hart
ford Press, and in the following year
its editor and proprietor In 1867 The
Press was consolidated with the Hart
ford Courant. Of which his old friend,
General Joseph r. Hawley was the edi-
tor and proprietor. Mr. Warner then
became co-editor with General Hawley,
and he was at his death still one of it's
editors and owners. He edited it with
interchangeable energy, and gave it the
reputation it has maintained as an ex-
ponent Of affairs and as a moulder of
opinion. It's literary fame IS largely due
to his connection with it.
Mr.. Warner spent fourteen months
abroad in 1868-'69 and gained consider
able reputation by q series of foreign
letters to The Courant that We're wide
1y copied. The transition from Jour
nalism to literature was with him nat
ural and easy. Indeed, his letters of
travel and a series of weekly papers in
his journal. in which he described his
experiences as an amateur gardener,
reached literary dignity. The letter at
tracted wide attention by their gentle
satire, delicious, SLY humor and simple
style. They were gathered into a book
and published in 1870, with an introduc
ton by Henry Ward Beecher, under the
title of My Summer in Garden" BY

fame, one of the owners of the Hartford
Courant. died suddenly Saturday after
noon. Mr.. Warner had a severe attack
of pneumonia two years ago, while In

books to encourage his desire to read
particularly books connected with the
history of the colored race, upon which
Mr.. Warner was an authority.
Mr. Warner was in the neighborhood
of his colored friends house when he
was stricken. Feeling ill., he asked
leave to sit down, then to lie down, re-
