     DEATH OF HONORABLE JOHN D. TOOMER
   We regret to hear of the death at Pittsboro of HON. JOHN D. TOOMER, a 
distinguished citizen of this State. Learned, incorruptable, a high-toned 
gentleman, a profound jurist, an eloquent speaker and a ready writer.
   JUDGE TOOMER  was a native of this town (Fayetteville), and graduated with 
distinction at Chapel Hill. Elected as a Judge of the Superior Court of Law 
and Equuity in 1818, he resigned the office the year following.-- Many years 
subsequent, he was appointed by the Governor and Council, a Judge of the 
Superior Court, but the Legislature not confirming this appointment, he 
resigned.
   In 1831-32, he represented Cumberland County in the Senate. In 1836, he was 
again elected a Judge of the Superior Court, and after holding the office four 
years, resigned on account of ill health.
   For a number of years, he resided at Pittsboro, where he died. JUDGE TOOMER 
was 72 years of age.
