Mr. James WYLIE, one of the most highly esteemed citizens of this county, died at his home, 5 miles east of Bolivar, on Sunday night during Christmas. Mr. WYLIE had lived for nearly half a century in Hardeman county, and was looked upon by all who knew him as a quiet, good citizen and as an honest upright man. He was a very industrious man, and was punctilious in the discharge of every obligation to he owed. He was a good neighbor, a kind husband and father, and left a large circle of friends and relatives to mourn his loss.
