The author Of this code was the

lected and cOdified the rules Of
the duel in America.
Died, at his residence in Chick
asaw county, Miss, Tuesday,
April 1st, 1858, Thomas G. Ran.
dali, in the seth year Of his age.
The deceased was born in Morgan
county, Ca, January 4th, 1919,
and in January, 1852, settled in
this state, where he remained I'M
til his death. In the eighteenth
year Of his age, he became an
humble and consistent Christian
and attached himself to the Bap-
fist church, in whose communion
he lived and died, loved and hon
Ored by all who knew his modest
and unpretending worth, Thomas
Randall was a good man in the
broad sense Of the term-a man
of public spirit and generous
heart, and the light and happi-
ness Of his home circle. To a fine
business capacity, he united all
the noble and generous impulses
Of the dignified Christian gentle
man, and with feelings chastened
and elevated by the Christian
graces, his intercourse with sOcie-
ty was a living, everyday com
mendation Of the religion he pro-
iessed, and his death that Of q
righteous man.
Through twenty-One long, wea-
risome days and nights he was the
victim of almost unmitigated IN
guish, yet, under all this physical
torture, he possessed a calm, con-
iding spirit, satisfied from the
commencement Of his illness that
life's last storm was breaking
upon him. There was no muir
muring-nO perturbation Of mind
mo fear-nO dOubts-but a joy
GUS confidence in the Christians
God dissipated the gloom and
darkness Of the valley OF the shad-
ow Of death, and made him to fear
no evil; and when DEATHS cold
spray had settled on his brow, his
head was affectiOnately pillowed
on his SaviOr's breast, and he
"breathed his life out sWeetly
there"
