Col. Archibald A. Gaulding died in this city yesterday, in the 64th year of his age, a victim of consumption.

Col. Gaulding was a man of benevolent nature.  He stood high in the Masonic

Fraternity; occupied during his life many responsible public stations; in 1847

was a member of the legislature from Pike county; subsequently held the offices

of Surveyor-General of the State and Auditor of the State Road; was for several

years one of the proprietors and editor of the Empire State, and subsequently

one of the proprietors and editors of the Atlanta Intelligencer, upon the

editorial staff of which he was employed at the time of his decease.  Holding

offices of such high trust in the State, he discharged the duties they imposed

upon him acceptably and faithfully.

His remains were sent to Griffin yesterday evening for interment. "He giveth

the weary rest."
