A letter from a friend in Florida brings intelligence of the death of A. S. Grandy in that State on the 28 ih December last. He was one of the many bright young men who have within the last few years gone out from Oxford to seek their for tunes in other localities. About a year ago he left Nashville, Tenn., where he had resided about nine years, to visit his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Crawford of Oc&la, Fla., in the hope that his health which had begun to decline would be improved by a change of climate and tne congenial surroun dings of a sister's home. He was destined never to return. His health instead of improving continued to decline, and notwithstanding the more genial climate of Florida and the best medical attention, aided by the ministrations of tenderest affec tion, death marked him for his vic tim. Albert Sidney Grandy was a sou of the late Titus T. and Elizabeth. Bell Grandy of Oxford, and was born here on 8:h of September, 18G2. The home into which he was born was one of refined christian culture, and his early advantages of home train ing were of the best. He was pre pared for college at the Horner Mil itary School and took a high stand in all his classes, and went thence to the University of North Carolina, from which he was graduated with distinction in the class of 1882. After leaying the University he received an appointment in one of the departments at Washington where he. remained some three or four years. During this period he applied him self to the study of law and attend ed lectures in the law department of Columbian University. Returning to Oxford in 1888 he obtained license to practice from the Supreme Court in September of that year. With his scholarly tastes cultiva ted by a wide reading of best authors and his faculties well diciplined by judicious training, there were few young men setting out in the life of a lawyer with higher attainment in ereneral literature or better versed in the text books of the profession. Indeed his devotion to books and absorption in learning, to some ex tent unfitted him for contact with the world and the more practical side of life. For about two years during his stay in Oxford he was associated in practice with this writer, and was found always to be the ripe scholar, the well informed lawyer and the courteous gentlemen. Desiring a wider field for the ex ercise of his talent he removed in 1890 to Nashville, Tenn., where he was engaged in the practice of his profession for about nine years, and until his visit to Florida never to re turn. He belonged to a family the IchiH dren of which were all of delicate physical constitution with a prone- ness to pulmonary trouble. Only one brother and sister survive him. Dr. L. B. Grandy, of Atlanta. Ga and Mrs. T. D. Crawford, of Ocala, Fla. An elder brother, Carey D. Grandy, at one time professor in the University of North Carolina, and an elder sister, Mrs. Hettie Williams, wife of the late Capt. John A. Wil liams, died several years ago and his other brothers died ia early child hood. There are many of his friends in North Carolina and elsewhere who will learn of his death with genuine sorrow. J. w. M. Dlyorces In North Carolina. Sbelby Star: We see it stated that there were about fiye hundred di vorces granted in .North Carolina during the past year. This is a la mentable fact. The legislature can perform a great public duty by en acting a more stringent diyorce aw. The evils incident to divorces are many, and when the marriage tie is regarded as of no permanent bind ing effect it will lose much of the sacredness which should attend it. and the home, the fountain head of society, Christianity and civilization, will be seriously threatened. Divorces are too easily obtained. The mar riage union is unthonghtedly forme 1 aid as unceremoniuosly broken. Tne Mother's Favorite. Chamberlaia's Cough Remedy la the mothe '8 favorate.
