REYNOLDS We regret to announce the death on Monday of the past week of Mr. Alexander D. REYNOLDS, a son of Mr. Bennett Reynolds of Greenwood, after a severe and protracted illness. A gallant soldier of the Confederacy during the late War, he returned at its close, broken in health, and during the three years of subsequent suffering through which he was called upon to pass, he exhibited the same patience, courage and constancy with which he endured the privations of the field. Disciplined by suffering and chastened by affliction, he was prepared to meet the last enemy, and exhibited in the final conflict, the sustaining power of his faith and the triumps of his profession. ------- DEATH OF GEN. WADDY THOMPSON The telegraph this morning annouces the death of Gen. Waddy THOMPSON, in Tallahassee, yesterday, at the advanced age of seventy. Gen. Thompson was born at Pickens courthouse in this state, September 8, 1798, graduated at the South Carolina College in 1814 and was admitted to the Bar in 1819. He was solicitor of the Western Circuit for several years, afterwards a member of the Legislature and later still, a member of Congress from this State. He was in Congress from 1835 to 1844 and served in 1840 as Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs. In 1842 he was appointed Minister Plenipotontiary to Mexico and afterward he published a very interesting book about that country and his mission. His title of General was obtained in the militia service and he had passed from the stage of active life before the War which made such titles more plentiful. His death will be regretted as the breaking of another link in the chain which binds the palmy days of Carolina, when Calhoun was a giant in the land.

James A. BLACK, Executor, Nov. 27, 1868 -------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, DECEMBER 4, 1868 FUNERAL OF MRS. HUGH WILSON The funeral services of Mrs. Hugh WILSON Sr., the estimable mother of our associate in The Press, were held at the Episcopal church of this place on Sunday last, in the presence of a numerous congregation. The Rev. W.P. Dubose, the Rector, officiated, according to the beautiful forms of the Episcopal burial service. Mrs. Wilson in early life became a member of the Associate Reformed Church, maintained through life a pious, consistent deportment, and was cheered in her last moments by the consolations of the Christian faith. She had attained the advanced age of sixty years and died in the midst of her family, whose devoted attachment best illustrated the kindly virtues which were blended in her character. -------- DEATH OF Mr. JOHN J. BARNETT This venerable gentleman, John J. BARNETT, long a resident of this community, died at Laurens district, at his son-in-law's, Col. Jno. D. WILLIAMS on Nov. 2nd, at the advanced age of eighty-nine years. He had long been in feeble health but owing to his temperate habits and the kind attention of a devoted daughter and her husband, he survived the usual point of human life. He retained his faculties to the last and died in serene Christian confidence. ------- DEATH OF GENERAL N.G. EVANS THrough a private letter received by his relatives in our district, we regret to hear of the death of this gallant officer, Gen. N.G. EVANS, at Midway, Alabama, on the 23rd ult., after a short time, in the 45th year of his age. He leaves a widow and four children, and other relatives to mourn his loss. Gen. Evans was a man of no ordinary capacity and his serene courage and quick, clear military judgment, were exhibited on some of the most brilliant battle fields of war. Distinguishing himself in the conflicts with the Indians on the frontier, he received a sword from the State as at testimonial of her appreciation of his services. His quick realization of the situation at the first Manassas and the inflinching courage with which he stayed the course of defeat in the early hours of that eventful day, his brilliant success at Leesburg, stamp him as a man of true military genius. If he had his faults they were those of a noble nature. Of a sanguine temperament and frank, fearless nature, he made enemies but the same qualities of mind and temper endeared him to the tried friends, whom he grappled with hooks or steel. Peace to his memory. ------ STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court of Ordinary Whereas, application has been made by H.W.

FOSTER MARSHALL This estimable lady died at her residence in this village last Wednesday from a pulmonary affliction and after a protracted illness. She leaves a family of sons and daughters and a large circle of sorrowing relatives to mourn their irreparable loss. We shall not invade the charmed precepts of affection or usurp the chosen prerogatives of friendship in attempting to portray the graces which brighten and the virtues which adorned the character of the deceased. The accomplished christian lady, the devoted wife, the affectionate mother, she brought to the manifold duties of life a more than masculine intellect, inspired and embellished by the virtues and the graces of her sex. The counsellor and the guide of the gallant soldier who was snatched away in the prime of glorious manhood, she has gone to join him in the spirit land, and to receive amends for the sorrows of her sad bereavement in the consolations of a blessed reunion. --------- FUNERAL SERVICES The friends and acquaintances of Mrs. J.
