J. W. Ellis, of White- ville, is mentioned with the most painful regret. He has been here and acquired many friends. A correspondent writes: His disease was a head trouble which ter- minated in apoplexy and caused death im- mediately. In his death the State has lost one of her best men, and Columbus county has lost in many respects her brightest light. Whiteville is shocked as it never has been before, and her citizens of all classes are sad.
