DEATH OF CAPT. J.C. FRANCIS

Capt. J.C. Francis, son of Dr. J.C. Francis of this place, died at Augusta, 
Ga., the night of the 4th inst. He was a gallant member of the immortal 
Fourth Alabama Regiment and was wounded at the battle of Manassas in the 
early part of the war. After the war he married in Augusta, Ga. and was 
quite successful in business, and his life was one of bright promise until 
he was overtaken with the excruciating and painful disease which pursued him 
for life and rendered it a burden to him. He spent largely of his means in 
the vain search for health, but only with brief intervals found release from 
suffering, until death came to his relief. He was of genial and kind 
disposition and had hosts of friends wherever he was known. Here where he 
was born and raised, he was greatly beloved, and his sad death has cast a 
profound gloom over the entire community.
