the rights Of succession to the descend

that the sovereign is entitled to propose

the desirability of the states general
choosing successor in the event of
there being no direct descendants in the

Another'Ol Vet
Gone to Reward

G. Wash Lesley, a prominent
citizen of the Griffin commune
ity, died at his home on the 2t9h
OF March after an illness of about
a week. He was nearly rs
years old. He was in the civil
war three and a half, years and
lost a foot from a wound. He
was a deacon of the church at
Griffin, where he was buried the
day following his death, funeral
services being conducted by his
pastor, Rev. Fulton Childress.
Mr.. Lesley was twice married.
His first wife was Miss Elizabeth
Trotter. To this union nine
children were born and are still
living. The sons are Henry ID. ),
w. D., G. W. and John; the
daughters are Mrs. James An
thony, Mrs. Barney Porter, Mrs.
Anna Breazeale, Mrs. TuIa Trot-
ter, Mrs. Minnie Williams. The
children are all living in this
county. His last wife was Miss
Nancy Henderson. She still
survives him. To the bereaved
we extend our sympathy.
Friday, March 81, the day af-
ter his grandfather was buried,
young Henry B. Lesley died at
the home of his father, Henry
D. Lesley, in the 10th year Of
his life, after suffering intensely.
for nine weeks. He had been
operated on for abscess of. the
lungs. All that medical skill
and good nursing could do failed
to bring relief Young Lesley
was a. christian and told his
father he was not afraid to die;
that he knew that Jesus would
take care of him. 'Tis sad when
one so young is called away but
it is glorious to know that they
were ready to 20. His body was
laid away in the churchyard at
Griffin April /. Funeral ser.
vices were conducted by the pas
tor, Rev. f. Childress. We ex-
tend our sympathies to the be.
reaved ones. z

10 Erect Monu-
ment to Memory
of Fred Griffin

We learn that the people of
Alabama are raising a fund to
erect a monument to the memo
of Fred IA. Griffin, the first
American soldier to die in the
defense Of his country when the
Mexican bandits ATTACKED Col
umbus, N! M. ,severaliweeks ago.
Although Mr.. .lGriffin enlisted
in the army from Alabama and
his body was buried there, he
was a native of Pickens county,
having been born in Pickens
town, andhis grandfather, Capt.
James A. Griffin, hero of the
civil war and reconstruction
days, is a native of. this county,
andlives near Pickens. He also
has many other prominent rela-
tives in Picl1ens county.
a movement has been started
in Picl1ens county to raise a fund
in South Carolina to add to the
Alabama fund for the erection
OF a monument to this young
hero and no doubt many will be
glad of the opportunity to con-
tribute to such<a fund. No one
will be urged to contribute, but
an opportunity will be given all.
The idea is not. to have very
large contribution from any one
person, but for many persons to
contribute small amount each.
Pickens county should have
many names on the list.
.,&TSAny one wishing 10 : make a
contribution for the erection of
the monument may send the
money to The Pickens Sentinel
or to E. r. Griffin, Pickens, who
will make proper accounting
forit and turn it over to the
monument committee.
