  A telegram received yesterday by George H. Scott at this place 
announced the death from paralysis of his only brother, Thomas W. 
Scott, at his home in Franklin Grove, Ill.  At the time of his death he 
was editor and publisher of the Franklin Reporter.  Mr. Scott was born 
at Charlottesville, Antis township, this county, July 19, 1830, and at 
death was aged 60 years, 6 months and 27 days.  In the early fifties he 
was associated with Thomas Ward as principal of Mountain academy at 
Birmingham, where the writer took his lessons and birch under the same 
roof.  He married to Miss Lizzie, daughter of James Dysart, of Eden 
Hill.  Some time before the late war he removed with his family to 
Franklin Grove, Illinois, where he has resided ever since.  Mrs. Robert 
Stephenson, of Philipsburg, and Mrs. Thomas Fleck, of Tipton, are 
sisters of the deceased.
