    Death of Col. C. W. Howard.

    This gentleman, long a resident of Bartow county, died on Christmas day, at his mountain home, in Dade county. It was not until Saturday last that we were apprized of this sad event., and then in the Savannah News. There were fewer abler or more accomplished gentlemen in this State. Though splendidly educated, and a polished gentleman in every respect, Col. Howard was plain and affable in his intercourse with all classes of people. We sympathize with his friends and relatives in their sad affliction. [Another notice on the same page gives the name of the deceased as Rev. Charles Wallace Howard and his place of death as Walker County.]
