Dr. Wade Barlow, a venerable and
esteemed citizen Of Dooly county,

was conveyed here in a telegram to his
son-in.law, Mr.. d, NJ. Borum, and was

bered.

county, and has known Americas since
it was a struggling village. For a half

engaged in business, besides having
large planting interests. A man OF
wealth and influence, he did mush for
his city, county and state.
As practitioner of medicine, he was
widely known here in years agene FF1e9
Some time after the death of his wife
DR.. Barlow removed to Dooly county
and has since resided at Snow. De.
spite his advanced age Sc years-he
was man of indomitabe energy and
for several years past has been actively
engaged In business there with his son,
William Barlow, with whom he lived.
Many are there here today who will
hear of the death of this brave Old
pioneer citizen with deepest regret.
DR.. Barlow is survived by.a son and
three daughters, Williams Barlow, Mrs
Fey, of Dooly county, Mrs Georg&
Netherton of Macon, and Mrs. D. Al

Grant rode toward us, smoking his usual
cigar. Recognizing several of us, he
dismounted and joined us.
:" What's the news?' he asked.
'I answered: 'We are discu ssing a
piece of news, which comes to us direct
" from the White House, and which
gives me no little concern 'WhatisiU'
asked the general.
"I understand that President Andrew
Johnson intends to revoke the parole of
General Lee and other generals of the
late Southern Confederacy.'
"'Who was your informant? asked
General Grant.

who had given the information.
General Grant quietly said, Thank
you, gentlemen, remounted his horse
