Ayrar or so ago. Mr. Henderson's friends
prevailed upon his moving and bringing

Greenwood. and erected a handsome
home on West Front Street; and he
and his splendid family at once became

sides.
Few men enjoy the reputation known
Of Mr.. Henderson: for his reputation
as known. was himself; not as others
knew him. but what he really was.
The best OF men that e'er wore earth
about him was a sufferer; for he was
"a soft. meek. patient. humble, tran
quli spirit. the first true gentleman
that ever Dreathed. His nature was
too noble for the world: he would
not fIstter Neptune for his trident,
or Joye for his power TO thunder"
He was a great man; Il great man. not

was the author Of a great piece of
legislation, or wrote a great and good
book but IN the truest and best sense
Of the word in his daily life he al

their respects TO this genuine character
Of nobility, and to express their appre-
citation of the worthy example he had
made of his life. At three O'Clock the
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Chas W. Hinton. formerly rector
of the Church Of Nativity, and now OF
Vlcksburg. The church could hardly
accommodate half of the friends in at

success which was generally recognized
BY all who became associated with
HIM.
When Roebuck Island was a dense
wilderness, and no one appreciated its
possibilities as a plantation, Mr.. Hen

manager for Senator J L George, and
during his forty-two years admnIstra,
