This eminent citizen OF Mississippi
died at his home in Macon on Friday
afternoon. April 81. lie was in the
prime of life, and until recently the
picture of health. Toward the close of
the recent session OF the legislature he
contracted a very severe cold. He died
of spoplexy. Mr.. Dinsmore was born
near Macon. in 1855. He served with
conspicuous ability and fidelity in the
legislature several sessions, and at the
last session was chosen president pro
tenn of the senate He WAS a wise.
conservative, industrious legislator.
His bill for the removal of the peniten-
tiary from Jackson. and the three bills
for the suppression of the blind tigers,
and other good measures. were of his
framing. He had just fully entered
upon bright political career. and. had
he been spared. the people of Missis-
sippi would have certainly called him
up higher. This writer will not soon
forget his always kindly greeting and
warm official commendation. and he
prays that the sod may rest lightly on
the spot that s--closes all that is mortal
