MR, HERBST DEtD
One of Macon’s Most Useful
Citizens Passes Awav.
FIRST PUBLIC” LIBRARIAN
Long Identified with the Interests
of the City—His Death Sud
den but not Unexpected.
Mr. Charles (Herder, an old citizen of
Macon, died this morning at 9 o’clock in
hi» room over the Fair store on Mulberry’
street, of 'Bright’s Disease.
Mr. Herbts -was seventy years of age
at the time of his death. He had been sick
for some time and his death was not un
expected.
Mr. Herbst was seventy years of age
past thirty years. He came here from
Kentucky just after the war and has been
engaged in many public enterprises. He
was for a number of years in charge of
the library, and was its -first librarian and
made a most efficient officer, and it was
under his management that the library
began to build up.
He was also organizer of the Ocmulge-e
Boat Club and was for a long time its
president. Mr. Herbst held .many impor
tant positions i nthe city and was highly
thought of by the people.
During the war he fought gallantly in
the Confederate ranks and when Memorial
Day was observed in this city he always
took a prominent part in -the decorations,
lie was an unreconstructed rebel, as he
termed himself and was always in the
front rank when anything was to be done
in honor of the Confederate dead.
Before coming to Macon Mr. Herbst was
conencted with the (Louisville press along
with George D. Prentice and Walter N.
Haldeman. For the past few years Mr.
Herbst ‘has been in failing health and sev
eral weeks ago he was taken to his bed.
He will be buried .by the Confederate
Veterans Association in Rose Hill ceme
tery. The funeral will -be held 'tomorrow,
b-it the exact time has not ‘been set.
The news of Mr. Herbst’s death wil he
learned with sorrow throughout the city.
He was a popular man and numbered his
friends by his acquaintances.
His only known relative is a sister liv
ing in Kentucky.
TO HELP HOSPITAL
Fine Entertainment to be Given Next
Thursday Night.
Mr. Poll: Miller, the dialect story teller,
and one of the most popular of men now
on the lecture platform, will give one of
his unique entertainments at the Academy
of Music next Thursday night for the ben
efit of the Hospital fund. Tickets will be
on sale at all the drug stores and at the
store of Mr. L. O. Stevens. The enter
tainment will be worthy a very large at
tendance and the cause is one that is dear
to all the people of the- city. >
Ladies of the Hospital Auxiliary are
urged to bear in mind that the Hospital
charity box is still at Taylor’s drug store
and that they should continue to drop
their dimes t’’erein.
WILL PLAY COLUMBUS.
The Macon Football Team to Make a
Great Effort.
Th* Macon football team will play the
team from Columbus in a* few days. The
boys will get down to practice next week
and will be in good shape in time for the
game. It will be remembered that in the
last game with Columbus the score was a
tie. The game was played here during the
Carnival and in 1897 in Columbus the
score was 0-0.
The Macon boys say that they can de
feat the Columbus team and will make
the effort in a. few more days. It is also
probable that another game will be played
in Jacksonville before the season is over.
It is understood that Jacksonville wants
another game with Macon and is willing
to pay the Macon -boys to come to their
town.
*‘Jim Hutch” Is Dead.
His nanao was James G. Hutchins, but
all the old printers in the country know
him as “Jim Hutch,” and the office in
which ho worked for 40 years knew him
as the “Skipper..” He made up the paper
In the mornings. When the rush hour
camo and there were but few minutes to
elapse before the last page went d wn and
the air was sulphurous, ‘‘Jim Hutch” was
placid and sang merrily and smiled.
When the big fire occurred in the town
‘Jim Hutch,” Tom Sullivan and Jim
Snow were working at the case. They
staid until the piaster fell from the ceiling
and, hot and blistering, “pied their
sticks.” The next day they went with the
editor to an attic and helped him get out
the first newspaper after the great fire. It
was a typographical curiosity and not
much larger than a sheet of letter paper,
but it was the only Une in the town that
day.
They continued work in the attic until
the newspaper resumed its former size,
and in larger quarters, and the editor, Mr.
Medill, said one day: ‘‘Tom Sullivan, you
be foreman. Jim Hutch, you be night
foreman, Jim Snow, you take the ‘ad’
case. And each of you hold your job as
long as I am editor and as long as you
live, for if I die first I shall arrange to
have you stay.”
‘‘Jim Hutch” is the first to go. Mr.
Medill is still editor of the Chicago Trib
une. Tom Sullivan is foreman. Jim Snow
has the “ad” cases. —New York Sun.
