  From the Russian River Flag, of Healdsburg, California, we learn that MR.JAMES L. WELLS died in that town Sunday morning, March 8, aged 45 years. The deceased was a brother of our fellow townsman Mr. W. T. Wells, and many of his relatives are residents of Newton County. From the Flag we copy the following editorial note:
  
  Mr. WELLS was a resident of this place for a number of years, and until overtaken by sickness about two years since, which incapacitated him for business, was among our most enterprising citizens and thrifty merchants. His funeral took place on Tuesday, when all places of business were closed out of respect for his memory. Mr. WELLS leaves a wife, who has the sympathy of the whole community in her bereavement.
