We regret exceedingly to
chronicle the death Of Hon. w. NJ.
Brown, Of the Oakway section, which
occurred at the home Of his son,
James H. Brown, last Saturday
night. Mr.. Brown was one Of the
foremost citizens Of Oconee, a splen-
did man and n progressive farmer.
He had represented Oconee in the
Legislature, and in that capacity
made an able representative, honest
and conscientious in his every act.
He had served Oconee in other
capacities, and in every sphere,
great or small, he was never found
wanting. His death is greatly de-
plored by us, and the sympathy of
hosts Of friends will go out to the
bereaved family in their sorrow.
Mr.. Brown is survived by one son,
Hon. j. II. Brown, Of the South
Union section, and Mrs. II. r.. GAM
brcll, who resides in the same sec
ton Of our county. Funeral services
were conducted Monday last. In the
death Of this good man Oconee has
lost Il valuable and valued citizen,
and he will be missed wherever he
was known. He was consistent
ho1f
the Baptist church. We have been
unable to secure any detailed facts
concerning the life of Mr.. Brown.
He was about 70 or rs years Of age.
His wife preceded him to the grave
a number Of years.

AT the mass meeting OF citi2rns
Of Walhalia last Friday night IT,
was decided that, for the hest in
terest OF all, and in the interest OF
harmony, the coming municipal elec-
tiOn will be conducted along lines
more in keeping with the regular
elections in county and State. There
will be but one ticket at the polls,
this ticket containing the names of
all candidates for the various offices
to be filed, and the voters being in
structed to erase names of those for
whom they do not wish to vote. This
will eliminate the multiplying of
tickets, as heretofore each candidate
for Mayor has had out separate
ticket with as many sets of alder
manic candidates as there were
tickets out for Mayor. Candidates
for the various offices to be filled
must register their names by 6
o'clock p. m. Of Friday this week,
Dec. 5th. All should bear this fact
In mind. Five minutes past Cor

clock strikes 6 Friday evening 1.-The
jig's up SO far as entering the field
on the municipal ticket this year
Is concerned. 1t was agreed also
that each candidate for Mayor will
pay the sum Of one dollar, the en-
trance fee to take care of the print
ing Of tickets for the election. In
the coming election a Mayor and six
Aldermen and two members Of the
Public Works Commission are to be
elected. Ordinarily there Is but
one commissioner elected every two

ton. The other commissioner whose

The announcement Of the death
Of Mrs. Maude Maxwell came as
shock and source Of deep sorrow
to many friends in Walhalla last
Sunday morning. Mrs. Maxwell
died at 10 o'clock Saturday night,

the end came. Mrs Maxwell had

sons. Masters Charles and Julian
Humphreys, and had told them that
she could not be with them long, and
almost as she was speaking in this
strain to the children she was seized
with a paroxysm OF coughing, which
members OF the family, realizing
Mrs. Maxwell's exceedingly frail CON
dition, knew would terminate to her
