Those who heard DR.. Il. w. Sears, of
Decatur. ILL.,, lecture at the auditorium
Friday evening were perfectly charmed
and delighted. No audience in West
minster were ever better entertained.
In his lecture on the subject, "More
Taffy aud Less Epitaphy," he was not
only humorous, but very fittingly told
how often good deeds and kind words
we're delayed too long.
We notice by the Anderson correspon-
dence of the Greenville News, of Decem-
Der 10th, that Col. Joshua Jamison died
at his home in Brushy Greek township
at 8 O'Clock this morning. He would
have been "a years old on the 18th of
this month. He had been an invalid for
the past year, due sto the infirmaties of
old age, and his death was not unex-
pected. In his death Anderson couney
loses one of her oldest and best citizens.
He was one of the old school gentlemen
who lived a long life of usefulness TO his
State and county, and one who was highly
respected by all who knew him. His
character was unblemished and unim-
peachablein any way. No one ever bad
a word TO say of Col. Jauison except of
praise aud kindness. He led a clean life
and leaves a record behind him lat none
can attack and that all who knew him
will do we'll to follow as an example of
upright Christian living.
Col. Jamison was born in Piclens
county, but had lived in Anderson comfy
nearly all of his long life Before the
Civil War, when the militia regiments
were III existence, he was colonel of q
regiment. Few of his old associates in
those days are living, but the few that
are left remember we'll his record in the
militia of the old South. When the war
came onehe enlisted and was captain of
company in thea22 South Carolina
Regiment. He served with much gall
lantry during the great struggle and was
one of the bravest of soldiers.
