MIR. John A. Booth Dead

a Confederate veteran and gooC
and respected citizen, died at his res
idence here on Wednesday afternoon
at 6 O'Clock after long and painful
illness, patiently borne. Mr.. Booth
willingly obeyed the summons of the
Great Judge of the Universe, who
came and waited the spirit from the
earthly cares to the great God who
gave it. May we all submit to the
will of God, who doeth all things well
and one who can't make a mistake.
He has been a member of the Bap-
