Bells had welcomed the birth of the
new year, the angel of death entered
the homse of Capt. J. A. Barwick, of
Braxton and called him away, thereby
casting an eternal gloom over once
happy family. After several months
of patient suffering he has gene where
sorrow and death never come. Though
in his 10th year until his last illness
he was strong and vigorous, mentally
and physically. He was a shrewd
and successful business man. He
served his country faithfully as citi-
zen in times of peace and as q soldier
in time Of war. During the war Of the
states he commanded Company I 46th
Miss. with skill and courage. He
was a faithful and devoted husband,
a kind and indulgent father. He
leaves widow, three sons and two
daughters to whom in behalf of the
town we extend our most sincere
sympathy. A FRIEND.

The democratic house leader pre-
ferred not to mention at this time the

The democrats are getting together,
as Mr.. Williams says. Senator Bailey
warned the republican senators on
Wednesday that hereafter democratic
