the most suitable man for the position,
and man who will as nearly as pos
sible fill the office with as much abil-
ity as Judge Conn. In making this
selection we think the governor could
not do better than select our fellow
townsman Hon. William Buchanan.
We say this without in any way pre-
Stunning to dictate to the governor or
seeming presumptuious, but we feel
that it is matter in which every cit
izen in the district should feel deep
interest. Mr.. Buchanan is lawyer
in high standing, AMI a citizen in
whom all the people of the district
have great confidence as a good law
yer rand a christian gentleman; he
having been an elder in the Presby.
terrain church and superintendent of
the Presbyterian Sunday school for
many years. In his profession he is
recognized throughout the district as
eminently fitted for the position. He
has proven himself most efficient in
all positions to which he has been
elected by the people, and they would
be glad to see him appointed to this
position. We are not one of those
who generally believe in seeing the
younger men stand aside, but in
position of this character we think
the appointment should go to an
older man. The position should be
filled by q lawyer who is we'll quail
fed, and who has spent his time and
means for the good of the state.
Mr.. Buchanan served the confed-
eracy as gallant soldier in the army
of northern Virginia, having entered
the service at an early age, and is
now in his vigorous manhood, and is
we'll qualified for the position which
he is willing to accept. He was Sc
verely wounded by minnie ball at
Hanover Court House in 1862: was
at the battle of Wilderness, and was
captured at Spottsylvania in 1864 and
sent to prison to Point Lookout, Nd,
and Elmyra, n. Y. He was educated
at the University of North Carolina
and at Lebanon, Tenn Law School,
having completed his education at
these institutions at the close of the
war. Let the younger men stand
aside for the present all other things
being equal as these places will be
open later OH, and appoint older
members of the profession who are
competent, and who have shown them
selevs to be worthy, and how by their
experience in life are better qualified
to hold such position as this The
appointment of Mr.. Buchanan would
give entire satisfaction to the people
OF this county, and we believe to the
people of the entire district.

heard him talk. He was willing to
die and was conscious up to within
twenty five IN nutes of his DEATH
About half an hour before death came

bound to die. His son, Bing, came in
and said Papa, we can't do without
you. He said, my son, you will
have to do without me. I will soon
be gone, do the best you can and take
care of your mamma, and be good to
her. - He believed all the time that
he could not live, and said so to every
one that he talked with and said he
was ready to go. His death was the
most triumphant ever Witnessed be
died in ten minutes after death struck
him; he could not move hand or foot
from the time he fell until he died.
He was a good man in every sense of
the word; he had as few enemies as
any one I ever knew The church
