THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PROFESSIONS, SOCIETIES AND CITIZENS GENER ALLY ATTEND THE BURIAL. ALL BUSINESS HOUSES SUSPEND DURING THE SERVICES. MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND PERSONS FOLLOW THE REMAINS TO THE CEMETERY. 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. WHEATLEY is offering, this.week, a line of Cashmeres in black and col ors, at 37) cents—the best bargain in the city.

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. Be sure and try the DIAMOND CAROMEL, sold only by Ed Ansley. Jellies in all size packages from wine Glasses up to five pound buckets. 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* successes, “Hazel Kirke” and “Es meralda.” The former play has been given over 2,000 times and the latter has run for a whole yearat the theatre.

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. Another Cyclopedia.

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. MARRIED.

It will be useful, instructive and interesting, and will be given away to subscribers of the Republican, and all others who may want it.

This is a good way to adver tise, as an almanac is consulted every day by nearly every one. 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.

Said the gentleman, “as I passed the shelter back, I heard the sound of many sleep ers. A wagon body was full of snore and it was running out over the whole lot—” Mr. P. replied only for sleeping in such cases as his, he’s letting the steam of local option through the safety valves.
