At 8 o'clock last night Mr. G. Byers, after xan illness' of five and a halt months, borne with great patience and Christian fortitude, entered Into life eternal, having nearly 'reached his three-score years and ten.

His last momenta were, happily free from suf fering, and his whole illness rwas marked by a cheerful submission to the will of God, and resignation to the inevitable. The community mourns the loss of a good citizen, and those who knew him well the loss of a faithful and true friend. George Newton Byers was a man of strong religious impulses, and as a member and warden of Trinity Church there was no one more loyal and de voted to her welfare and to his reli gious obligations'. He was born on the 24th day of January, 1834, at Shep- herdstown, and would this month have-reached his seventieth birthday. He received his education at the University of Virginia, and when the 'war broke OuV the State of Virginia being the principal theatre cf the conflict, every young man in the State felt it his duty to answer the call of the South, and he, with Others enlisted and fta assigned to, the whfch he served to the end, having rises to a Captaincy.

He was alway justly proud of his association with one of the greatest men of the South. He came to.Clarksville nearly thirty-flve years ago, and entered into the drug business, brit later gave that up for the insurance business, in which he continued to his death. He was married two years after coming to Clarksville, and has lived and enjoyed the happiness and comfort of an affectionate family life during these years, and leaves behind him "a widow and a son and daughter to mourn his less. He has been identified with Trinity Episcopal Church ever since his coming here, and has taken a deep and intense Interest in her welfare, and he has been vestryman and warden of the church for many years. We do not know of many men who are as faithful to their Church -as waa-Mfc Byers.

He wij be sadly missed ffOhi his place there.
