A SAD DAY,
“Why do we mourn departing friends,
Or shake at death’s alarm ?
’Tis hut the voice that Jesus sends
To call them to bis arms.”
During a journalistic career of near
ly forty years, the writer of this has
never been called upon to record the
death of one whose demise has caused
a deeper regret, and cast a sadder
gloom over this entire community,
than that of Rev. Dr. George F.
Cooper, who breathed his last at his
residence on College Street, in this
city, on Sunday morning, the third
day of December, at fifteen minutes
before twelve o’clock, in the fifty
eighth year of his age, after an illness
of only ono week of rheumatism of
the heart.
On the morning of his death he ap
peared to be feeling better than he had
for several days. He sat up and ate
a very hearty breakfast and seemed
to enjoy it very much. Just before
his death he asked for a warm lemon
ade, which his wife proceeded to pre
pare for him. On her return she dis
covered a considerable change in the
Doctor’s appearance and called to
him, but he made no reply. Mrs. C.
becoming alarmed at his condition
called to a friend who had just left the
house, to hasten back. On his return
he hastened to the bedside of the
Doctor only in time to see him breathe
his last. He never spoke another
word after asking for the lemonade.
The sacl news was communicated to
the various Churches of the city where
divine services were being held,which
created a profound sense of grief. Be
fore commencing his sermon, Bishop
Beckwith, who was holding divine ser
vice at the Episcopal Church, paid a
most fitting tribute to the memory of
the deo ased.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF THE DE
CEASED.
Dr. George F. Cooper was born
July 31st, 1825, in Wilkes county,Ga.
In 1828 his parents removed to Harris
county, of which his father was one of
the first settlers. Here he grew up,
receiving only such an imperfect aca
demic education as was attainable in
that part of the country in those days.
Here he studied medicine wit h one or
two physicians, and then went to Lex
ington, Ivy., for his first regular
course. He was graduated in Phila
delphia at the Aledieal College in 1845.
After his graduation he returned to
Georgia and commenced the practice
of his profession in Perry, Houston
county, and in July, 1846, was married
near Perry, to Aliss Cornelia I. Staley.
In the winter of 1847-48, Dr. Cooper
returned to Philadelphia for a suppli
mentary course in medicine.
He spent the winter of 1850-51 in
New Orleans, in the great Charity
Hospital of that city. Subsequently
he returned to Perry, where he prac
ticed a few years, when ho moved to
Savannah. In January 1854 he moved
to Americus, about the same time
that the writer of this article came,
and was one among our first acquain
tances. Here he continued in the
practice of his medical profession until
he commenced preaching in 1856. He
was called by the church at Lebanon,
ten miles from Americus, and was or
dained in Americus, the presbytery
consisting of Revs. B. F. Tharp, H. C.
Hornady, who was at that time pastor
of the Americus church, and W. T.
Brantly, D.D., of Atlanta, who preach
ed the ordination sermon. The writer
had the pleasure of hearing his first
sermon after his ordination, which he
preached at the Baptist church, where
it now stands. He served this church
one year, and the following year had
charge of the church at Fort Valley.
In 1859 he was called to Dalton, Ga.,
where he remained two years. He
was chosen as. pastor by the church in
Americus in 1861, hut preached for a
few months only, when he entered the
Confederate service as senior surgeon
of Lawton’s (afterwards Gordon’s)
brigade, which position he filled to
the close of the war. In 1865 he
served the church in Albany, Ga., but
was recalled to the Americus churcii
the next year. From that time he
preached for this church nine years
consecutively, never, ho we ve.-, entire
ly relinquishing the practice of medi
cine.
In 1874 he resigned the pastorate
and for two years devoted himself
wholly to his medical profession, but
being recalled to the church in 1876,
he served it again for twtf years.
On the 14th of March 1878, he was
married for the second time, in Roch
ester, N. Y., to Aliss Carrie AI. Ken
drick, a daughter of Prof. A. C. Ken
drick, 1). I)., of Rochester University.
In 1879 he once more resigned the
pastorate of the Americus church, and
from that date until his death gave all
time to the practice of medicine.
Asa preacher he was doctrinal. He
was an easy, fluentandgraceful speak
er, and when fully aroused he preach
ed in demonstration of the spirit and
of power. His unblemished character
for probity as a man and purity as a
Christian, and the vigor and poise of
his intellect, made him one of the
strong men of the Baptist denomina
tion. He was incapable of anything
small, being a man put up, in every
sense, on a grand scale; and whatever
he was, he was to the core.
The deceased was a physician*-en
ergetic and skillful; and during a la
borious career he reflected credit upon
his noble profession. Long after the
grass has grown upon his grave will
the name of him whose body sleeps
beneath the green sward be remem
bered. The mother, with that joy
when for the first time she felt her
first-born’s breath, will remember
him. Disease-invaded Circles that
used to welcome with a smile of relief
his manly form, will remember him.
The weeping hearts, waiting and
watching at home- can they forget?
Never. Never.
The deceased leaves a wife and six
children, and four grand-children.
Two of his sons are absent—one in at
tendance at the United States Navy
Academy, at Annapolis, and the other
in Colorado. May God comfort the
hearts of the widow and fatherless
children in this dispensation of His
Divine Providence.
FUNERAL OBSEQUIES.
The funeral services took place at
the Baptist Church on Monday at 3
o’clock p. m. Long before the hour
the Church was filled to overflowing
with weeping relatives and sorrowing
friends.
As the pall-bearers laid the remains
in front of the pulpit, the choir sang
three verses of the beautiful hymn,
beginning, “Asleep in Jesus, blessed
sleep,” after which Rev. J. O. A.
Cook, pastor of the Methodist Churcii,
read the solemn burial services of the
Baptist Churcii. Then a very fervent
and devout prayer was offered by the
Rev. J. H. Cawood, of Smithville.
The choir then sang the beautiful
stanza of Bishop Ilebdr, commencing:
“I would not live alway,
I ask not to stay,
Where storm after storm rises,
Dark o’er the way.”
At close of the song the Rev. B. W.
Bussey delivered an appropriate dis
course on the life and services of the
deceased; founding his remarks on
the 3rd chapter and 38th verse of
Second Samuel: “Know ye not that
there is a prince and a great man fal
len this day in Israel.” The speaker
seemed to be very much moved, while
tears flowed freely in all parts of the
large assembly. Among other touch
ing remarks, such was his attachment
and devotion to deceased, he said that
he was his right arm, and if the loss
of that, yea, of both arms, could have
saved him, this mourning congrega
tion would not now be assembled.
At the conclusion of the discourse the
choir sang the beautiful verses begin
ning with:
Beyond the smiling and the weeping,
I shall he soon,
Beyond the waking and the sleeping,
Beyond the sowing and the reaping,
I shall be soon.
Love, rest and home, sweet home,
Lord tarry not but come.
The pall bearers then bore the re
mains and deposited them in the
hearse. The cortege then moved to
wards the cemetery in the following
order:
1— The hearse bearing the corpse; pall
bearers on each side.
2 Family of deceased in carriages.
3 Medical profession.
4 Members of the Legion of Honor
and Royal Arcanum.
5 Public Schools, white and colored.
6 Citizens in carriages and on foot.
At the arrival,the cemetery was al
ready filled by those who awaited the
procession. The remains were low
ered by the pall bearers. An appro
priate hymn was sung by the white
children of the Public Schools. After
this, a devout prayer was offered up
to the throne of Grace, and all that re
mained of Dr. George F. Cooper
were deposited in the silent tomb,
there to remain until the resurrection
morn. The benediction was then pro
nounced and the large assembly of
sorrowing friends returned to their
homes.
The following gentlemen acted as
pall-bearers: Dr. E. J. Eldridge, S.
H. Hawkins, John Windsor, G. W.
Glover, John A. Cobb, John B. Fel
der, U. B. Harrold, B. F. Hollis and
John W. Wheatley.
The deceased was a member of the
American Legion of Honor, and was
insured in this order for five thousand
dollars, also in the Royal Arcanum
for three thousand dollars.

Let Well Enough Alone.
We saw some days ago a comment
in the Macon Graphic in which was
discussed the pro’s and con’s of the
South Georgia Conference. Asa gen
eral rule we are willing to leave in
silence ail the work of the Conference
to the Bishop and his cabinet, but
now we must bo allowed to utter our
protest against the removal of J, O. A.
Cook from his present charge. With
out knowing his preferences or his
desires on the subject, we know he
is an itinerant of the truest type
and a willing subject to the wise coun
sels of the Bishop and his cabinet, but
because he is all that, it is no reason
at all that he should be moved. Ma
con and Savannah can exchange their
ministers with propriety and accep
tability and we feel that it would be
unjust to Mr. Cook’s physical condi
tion to remove him to so heavy a
change as either of those places. The
work of this Church is all he ought to
do for three years to come, besides he
is doing a good work here and lias
won the love and admiration of not
only his church but the community,
and all would regret exceedingly to
give him up to another charge.
Dodging a Sheriff.
Tom Godwin and Bob Hogan, two
colored gentlemen of Dooly, had in
curred the anger of the pastor and his
flock by taking a game of cards, with
the money in the pot, while divine
service was going on in the Church.
All parties were indignant that the
Lord, His minister and people were
thus defied in His own house on the
holy Sabbath. The Sheriff was noti
fied and he deputized \V. L. Bragg to
arrest the offenders. The Deputy
heard of the whereabouts of his birds
and went for them. Seeing two ne
groes grinding cane he asked, “Is Bob
Godwin here?” “No, sir,” said Bob,
“he is over dar indat cotton field jes’
about half mile from here.” The
Deputy turned and rode off a little
way, when he looked back and saw
both the darkies running like light for
the swamps. He gave chase but the
scared darkies reached the dense copse
and disappeared with a triumphant
mocking laugh that nettles the Depu
ty whenever he thinks of it.

Bishop Beckwith.
Sunday morning this eminent di
vine officiated at Calvary Church on
Lee street. The house was filled. The
ceremonies of confirmation and bap
tism were part of the duties of the day.
The Bishop elaborated the passage of
scripture found in the 24th chapter
and Bth verse of the Acts: Can Christ
raise the dead? The argument was
profound and conclusive from the
orthodox standpoint. The ceremonies
were interrupted by the announce
ment that Dr. G. F. Cooper had just
died. Many were moved to tears by
the announcement, and a fitting trib
ute to the character of the good man
was pronounced by the Bishop. The
congregation retired to their homes
sad, but better for having heard so
grand a sermon.
Esmeralda.
The Madison Square Theatre will
shortly, present its great metropolitan*

We are authorized to state that the
company soon to appear comes under
the direct auspecies of the Madison
Square Theatre, and brings special
scenery for each act. Their appear
ance will be an undoubted dramatic
event as they produce the two great

Attempted Suicide.
Air. Tillman Jennings, an old and
highly esteemed citizen of Hie 17th
district of Sumter county, having for
some time showed such signs of men
tal aberration as to alarm his friends,
attempted on last Saturday to commit
suicide by cutting his throat. The in
strument was either too dull or the
watchfulness of his friends prevented
the fatal deed. Ho succeeded, how
ever, in inflicting a wound not dan
gerous. It is thought he will have to
be sent to the asylum.
An Old Veteran,
Mr. F. W. Davis, of Sumter county,
near Sumter City, who has lived in
this county for forty years, was in the
city Saturday morning. He was as
lively in talk as he was fifty years
ago, and acted as company to his
daughter-in-law on a shopping expedi
tion to town. He was born in 1790,
and bids fair to live till his hundredth
birthday. We wish him success in
the prospect.

A Pleasant Entertainment,
It was our good fortune to be pres
eiit on, last Friday evening at the
Methodist parsonage, 011 the occasion
of the regular monthly meeting of the
Womans Missionary Society. This
noble, institution, comprising many
of the best women in our city, has
been bravely and faithfully working
in the good cause in which they have
enlisted themselves, and as their
record shows, are bringing forth much
fruit. The meeting last Friday even
ing was opened to the public, and
after the routine business was finished
the company was most pleasantly en
tertained by a programme of reading,
songs, recitations and social conversa
tion. Notable among the recitations
was “Rock of Ages,” beautifully ren
dered by Miss Emma Frazer, of
Union Springs, Ala., who was visit
ing the family of Rev. J. O. A. Cook.
Prof. J. W. Beardslee, the well known
singer, was also present and led the
singing, which was greatly enjoyed
by all. The occa-ion was in every
respect a most pleasant one, and we
hope the society will soon again give
another of its enjoyable meetings to
the public.

After Ducks.
Ben Mayo and Albert Morgan,
were duck hunting on Flint river,
just above Huguenin’s Ferry, one day
last week, and wounded a duck which
they chased down the river. A huge
rope is stretched across the river at
the ferry, and in goiug under this,
Albert caught it in both hands, and
was nearly dragged into the rushing
waters below; as Mayo caught hold of
him and saved him from a cold bath.
He lost his gun, however, which is
quietly resting at the bottom of the
flowing Thronateeska.

Fair Yield on old Land.
A gentleman from Webster makes
the following creditable report from
a seventy-flve acre field on his place.
He gathered seventy-five loads, sev
eral of the loads were measured and
turned out an average of twenty one
bushels and a half to the load and the
whole field one thousand five hundred
and eighty seven. This is good for
any upland fresh land and extra fine
from old worn land. There is more
in the man than there is in the land,
says the lamented Sidney Lanier, the
Macon poet.
