COL. R. W. BAGBY
LAID TO REST.
The Funeral Services at the Methodist
Church Wednesday, March 30,1898,
Were Attended by the Largest
Concourse of Citizens Ever
Seen at a Funeral in
Covington.
BUSINESS SUSPENDS DURING SERYICE
As announced in the Star, last
week, the funeral of Col. Robert
W. Bagby took place at 2 o’clock
on Wednesday afternoon.
The services were held at the
Methodist church, and were con¬
ducted by Rev. R. J. Bigham, of
Nashville; and Rev. T. J. Swan¬
son, of Covington.
The attendance was the largest
ever seen at a funeral in Covington,
the number being estimated as
high as 2,000.
All business was suspended for
the time.
The people came in for many
miles from all the surrounding
country while delegations were
here from Atlanta, Conyers, Social
Circle, and Madison.
Many beautiful floral tributes
were sent in to decorate the casket
in which the remaines of our de¬
parted comrade were placed.
Perhaps the most lovely and artis¬
tic of these floral tributes, came
from Madison—one from the old
veteran comrades of the deceased,
attached to which was a card bear¬
ing this tender message—
‘‘Brave Comrade : You have
crossed over the River, and now
sleep under the shade ot the
trees. ’ )
Signed : Madison Friends.
The other was from the Ladies
Memorial Association and Garden
Club, of Madison, and the two
were so artistically intertwined
that they formed a beautiful anehor
eross.
These tributes were brought up
in person by Commodore G. N.
Dexter and Col. Walter Wiley,
both veterans of the gallant and
immortal old 3d Georgia regiment.
The members of Jefferson Lamar
Camp, confederate veterans of Cov¬
ington, also presented a beautiful
wreath and cross, which* they liad
sent them from Atlanta.
The ladies of Covington, as they
always do on such occasions, fur¬
nished many beautiful and fragrant
floral decorations.
Promptly at 2 o’clock, the long
procession, escorting the remains
from his late home, arrived at the
Methodist church, which was soon
filled to overflowing, and hundreds
were turned away, being unable to
gain an entrance.
After ilie usual solemn and im¬
pressive dirges were rendered, by
th® church choir, Rev. R. J. Big¬
ham spoke for nearly one hour in
the tenderest and most pathetic
terms of the many noble and gene
rous traits of character of the de¬
ceased, which had won for hitn
the love and esteem of its all, as
was abundantly attested by the
incomparable outpouring of all
classes of our people, white and
black, on that occasion.
Mr. Bigham was followed by
Rev. T. J. Swanson, who paid a
most beautiful and impressive trib¬
ute to the memory of our departed
comrade, which touched a tender
chord in the heart of every one
present, and caused many a scald¬
ing tear to trickle from eyes unac¬
customed to weeping, from those
w dio had known Mr. Bagby longest
and best.
Several letters were read from
friends at a distance, who tendered
condolence to the family, but could
not be present.
After these solemn and impres
sive services were coneluded at the
church, the remains of our depart¬
ed comrade were tenderly removed
to South View cemetery, where
they were deposited by the side of
his dear companion, who had long
gone lie fore. The vault was laid
with brick and cement, and our

friend and comrade was left
to sleep and to rest.
The large concourse of
who attended the last sad rites
our deceased comrade, abundantly
attested the love and esteem in
which he was held by the people
of this entire community, as
as of those who knew him else¬
where.
Bob Bag by was a notable figure in
this community. He was a man
among men. He had his faults and
his foibles, as we all have; but,
underlying and above and beyond
all these, he was thoroughly im¬
bued with the noblest and manliest
impulses that could inspire the hu¬
man heart. He was liberal and
generous to a fault. He was as
brave as the bravest, yet at heart
as tender as a child.
We forget your faults, dear old
Bob, and only remember your no¬
bler and better traits and manly
qualities. You were a true and
honest man, and afs such we shall
ever revere and cherish your mem
ory. You were one ot nature’s no
t
bletnen—a diamond in the rough—
an unpolished jewel—but your
great big, generous, liberal and
honest heart, made you a man
among men, a true friend, a devot¬
ed husband, and a kind and indul¬
gent father.
Bob Bagby, you fought the bat¬
tle of life bravely, and you never
faltered or once shirked a duty.
You carried your colors through
many a storm of death and carnage
to victory ; but you never once let
them trail in disgrace or dishonor.
Your battle flag,—once the proud
and beautiful emblem of valor and
victory, though but a mere rag, all
tattered and torn today,—still bears
abundant evidence of the terrific
storms of leaden hail you faced,
and the terrible dangers you en¬
countered in bearing it aloft, and
always to the front ! But at last
you grew weary, and have crossed
over the River, where you may
forever rp«st under the shade. You
have just gone over with the ad¬
vance guard, where the “reorgani¬
zation” is taking place. The “rear
guard,” with feeble and decimated
ranks, is marching on after, and
will soon be ordered over to unite
with the advance.
Dear old Bob Bagby, we all lov¬
ed you in life, and we revere your
memory in death. Sleep on, brave
comrade. You were on duty a
long timfe,and you needed “relief. » »
Enjoy the sweet reunion with those
comrades who went before you.
The “rearguard” is pressing on
to join the “main army, »> and it
will not be long until the final
< l concentration, J 1 Until that grand
reunion takes place, dear old Bob,
farewell!
Sleep on, in peace !

listening to the eminent divine.

EMORY COLLEGE.
Bishop Galloway and Dr. Hoss Deliver
a Series of Lectures—Miss Marie
Griffin to Marry Mr. Townsend.
Many Prominent Visitors.
Oxford, April ist—(Special)
The week just past has been the
greatest and grandest in the history
of the college in the lecture line.
Indeed the coming of Bishop Chas.
P. Galloway , of Jackson, Miss., to
Emory, lias proved a blessing to all
concerned, and this blessing was
only equaled by the lectures we
daily listened to from Dr. Hoss, of
Nashville, Tenn., during the week.
Bishop Galloway’s lectures were
the first given on the Quillian
Foundation, and truly we think the
general order was completely re¬
versed this time, and we had the
best first; in fact, we don’t see how
they can get to be any better. He
began on Tuesday evening with a
history of Christianity just before
and during the discovery of Amer¬
ica ; the next night he dealt with
the Christian efforts and purposes of
the colonies, comparing Protestant
England to Catholic Spain and
France, and so on from night to
night he took the different influ¬
ences of Catholicism and Method¬
ism, or Protestantism, comparing
in an effective manner, the
leaders of each denomination, up to
the present time, closing his series
on last Sunday night with a power¬
ful speech on ‘‘Christian Educa¬
tion, and the American Common¬
wealth.” His sermon at the Meth
odist church, at 11 o’clock Sunday
morning, was heard and appreciat¬
ed by a large congregation, com¬
posed of students, visitors, Oxford
and Covington people.

tween China and Japan has had a good effect
in opening the eyes of the Chinese to the fact
that there are other civilizations than their own.
