At his seat near this city, of the Gout, on Thursday last, Willie JONES, of Halifax, in the sixty-<…> year of his age. It may be held necessary to speak of a life and character so generally known and respected as Mr. JONES‘. With regard to him, who will long continue to live in the hearts and affections of his countrymen, it is undoubtedly unnecessary, and of no moment to do so; but with respect to those who survive him, it may have its use; inasmuch as it may lead to an imitation of those virtues, and of that conduct, which so deservedly raised and established him in the estimation of all.
Passing over, therefore, his engaging and social turn, his friendly and his hospitable disposition, his domestic and his public virtues, we will mention his acknowledged liberality of <…> and benevolence towards his fellow men, his uniform and zealous attachment to the Rights and Liberties of his country, and his long and able Public Services, as well before, as during and since the American Revolution, as being particularly worthy of imitation, and as justly placing him among the first of Men, and first of Patriots.
He died as he lived, a ready, fixed and firm Republican, omitting no occasion, even in his last moments, of manifesting the concern he felt, and the interest he took, in the preservation of his Country. In <…>, it may with <…> truth be said, that Carolina has not produced a Son of greater mental endowment than Mr. JONES, nor one who lived more universally and deservedly respected, or died more affectionately and sincerely regretted.
