Col. WEIGH Dead.

Col. W G WEIGH died in Stanford
early Tuesday morning. Some time
ago he cut a corn on one Of his toes,
which resulted in blood poisoning He
grew rapidly worse, and death has
been expected for some time. Col.
Welsh was one Of the best lawyers in
the state, typical gentleman, true
friend, and ever ready to help those
in want or distress. His taking away
is a loss to not only his town, but to
the state. He was lawyer who prac-
ticed upon high, gentlemanly princi-
Piles, having supreme contempt for
anything pertaining to rascality. Ma
ny were his acts Of kindness, but he
never paraded the fact when doing a
good turn for his fellow man. The
remains were inferred at Crab Orch
ard.
