DEATH OF MRS. j. J. DICKSON

The TimesUnion reports that news
of the death of Mrs. J. J. Dickson
was received in that city Thursday.
The distinguished lady died at Waco,
Texas, at the advanced age of 80.
Mrs. Dickson was the wife of Gen
eral j. J. Dickson, and was the author
of the interesting volume, "Dickison
and His Men" She was a brilliant
writer, a devoted wife a loving and
indulgent mother, and a most charm
ing woman.
At the breaking out of the civil
war General Dickson had his home
in this county and like hundreds of
others of his neighbors volunteered
his services to his country at the first
tocsin of war Like General Francis
Marion of revolutionary fame, General
John Morgan, General j. E. B. Stuart
and General Bedford Forrest, General
Dickson seems to have been born for
war, and although occupying only the
position of captain he did more sig
nal service than almost any briga-
der general in the Confederate army.
He patroled Florida from coast to
coast, was in constant skirmishes and
battles throughout the struggle, and
with his single command took hun
dreds and hundreds of prisoners.
He was made adjutant general of
the state under Governor Drew, and
in that way acquired the title of gen.
eral
Throughout the civil war his wife,
from time to time, was in camps with
him, kept an accurate account of his
brilliant military exploits, all of which
are graphically given in her thrilling
ly interesting volume.
After the war Mrs. Dickson for a
long time made her home in this city,
and the older members of our commu-
nifty will learn of her death with pro-
found sorrow.

rior quality Franks is known to car

to effect a positive and thorough re-

ton sale is worth coming miles for

get to Franks can afford to stay
away.
The sale storts bright and early
Monday morning, January goth, at 8
o'clock. "a word to the wise is suffi-
