Tribute of Respect.
Olive Lodge, No. 10. F. A. M )
Talbotton, Ga., June 3d, 1876. j
We, the Committee oppointed at Inst
meeting of this Lodge to draft resolutions
commemorative of our deceased brother,
Henhy Calliek, beg leave to make the fol
lowing report:
Whereas, An All-wise Providence has
j seen proper to visit our ranks with death,
; aud remove from time to eternity, our well-
I beloved brother, Henry Calufu, who de
! parted this life on the 17th ot May, 1876, in
the 65th year of his age, and at the height
of his u set til ness.
Ai citizens, we nre sorely bereaved; as
Masons, we feel that a great shadow has
overspread us and made dark our path.
Our hearts, though made to bleed before
ky the same fell destroyer of the body, tocl
now as though they have received a home
thrust iu truth, for our chain is broken, our
bond is shaken and a pillar of our institution
is gone, which no time can replace.
Asa citizen, we mourn him, tor none
was higher t steomed; as a civil officer, none
better liked; as a friend and relative, none
better loved; as a husband and tat bet, none
more kind, provident and affectionate; nor
in return more idolized; as a Christian pro
lessor, none more consistent; as a M.isou,
| bis actions were regulated by rule and line,
; and his conduct harmonized by the princi
i pies of morality and virtue, punctually ob
| serving his duty, neither turning to the
j tight or to the left, but studiously avoiding
all dissimulation in conversation, directing
his steps to the patn w hich leads to immor
tal glory, convincing mankind by his dis
fleet and virtuous conduct of the gooduess
of our institution. And truly was lie one to
whom the bnrthened heart might pour out
its sorrow, and to whom distress might pre
t r its suit; whose hand was guided by jus
tice and whose heart was expanded by be
nevolence. But he is gone to that long
home, “not made with hands, eternal in the
I heavens ” Wept on earth by friends and
kindred his memory honored by all who
knew him, and wept, honored and sung by
i tt'l true Masons.
"Lite’s duty done, as sinks the flay,
Light from its load the spirit flies:
While heaven amt earth combine to say,
How blest the rightvous when he dies.”
Therefore, be it
Resolved, Ist. That we greatly feel our
own loss, and tender our heartfelt sympa-
I thy and condolence to his bereaved family
1 and kindred.
2. That each member of this Lodge wear
I the usual badge ot mounting for thirty days
j aud the jewels f the Lodge be clothed
j in mourning for the same space ot time.
3d. That the Secretary be requested to
leave a blank page upon his book, de lica-

Again we arc culled upon to chronicle the
sad doings of the tell destroyer incur midst.
Mr. John W. Dozier, an old citizen of the
county, departed this life last Saturday, at
his home, one mile from town. His death
was qnite sudden, though not totally un
expected. For two weeks he had inter
mittent spells of what appeared to bo cramp
colie. On Saturday meruing last he was
up and about, attending to the feeding of
hi.s stock, Ac Twas shortly af'er dinner,
perhaps, when he went to his room, com
plaining somewhat, aud lay down upon the
bed. One of his daughters followed him,
and in a few moments she stepped out,
! leaving him sitting up. She hail barely lef
| when she heard a noise, and went back
1 only to find her father in the last throes
of death. He passed away in a moment,
without a struggle.
The news ot his sudden taking off caused
a profound sorrow to pervade the entire
community. Sadness was depicted upon
every countenance. Jfr. Dozier was a man
who had no enemies everybody loved him
and the idea of his leaving us was enough to
cast a gloom over us. He was seventy-five
years of age on the 29th of May, but was a man
of exceptional activity aud vigor. Ho 4 wasa
member of the Methodist Church f.*r over
fifty years, and no mau could ever bring
aught against his religious walk. Truly a
good man is gone. Quiet, gentle, unas
suming, generous, whole-souled, manly,
God-like and pure, are terms that tell Ins
traits and his character. To know .11 was
to admire arid respect him; to be constantly
I associated w ith him, was to love him. No
mere loving and affectionate father ever
lived.
■ Funeral services were held at the Metho-
I dist Church last Sabbath afternoon at four
I o'clock. The sermon was preached by the
I pastor, Rev. G. C. Clarke. Alter this the
! body was interred at the cemetery with Ma
i sonic honors, as Bro. Dozier was a member
j ot the mystic order.
| A large family of children are left to bat.
I tie w ith life w ithout the counsels of father
the last earthly parent is gone-but wc
| point them to that everlasting Father, who
lis able to keep them. To Him, and to no
! other, can they look lor comfort, and peace,
| aud happiness.

,1 Sketch of Corinth .Tf. £.
Church.
Having been appointed under a resolution
passed at the last meeting of Quarterly Con
ference, Columbus District, Talbow circuit,
to write a brief sketch of Corinth Church,
to bo recorded in the circuit church book ;
in the performance ot said duty, the writer
will, ou account of having access to but u
very limited church record, have to record
facts and incidents mainly from memory and
tradition.
Early in the year 1828, Rev. James .Stock
dale, on his wav from his home in South
Carolina to the Talbot and Harris county
mission, (to which he had been assigned by
the South Carolina aud Georgia Conference,)
while crossing Flint river, enquired of the
ferryman if he know ot any Methodists iu
what was then known as the New Purchase-
The ferryman directed him to Josiah
Mathews, a Methodist who had recently
moved over and settled six miles west of the
ferry. The missionary, after arriving at the
place he had been directed, and announcing
who he was, his business, Ac., joined by his
host, went riding over the country hunting
Methodists with the view of organizing a
church, provided material sufficient could be
found. They found but few, for the coun
try was very sparoely settled.
It will be remembered that the drawing
for the lands west of Flint river had not
been but about two months, and the ludians
had not near all h-l't. All appointment for
preaching the next Saturday and Sunday
was made and extensively circulated; it was
to be in an unoccupied dwelling about one
hundred yards north ot old Corinth church,
which was made of rough post oak logs;
size about 16 by ‘2O feet. The meeting was
tolerably well attended, for they came a
great distance; some in ox carls, bora- back
and on foot; not a few bringing their rifles
with them. On the first day ot the
meeting a church was organized, composed
of Josiah Mathews, his wife and three chil
dren, Herod Dupree, Jeremiah Pearson and
wife, and Mrs. Nancy Pearson, and named
Corinth. Thus came into existence (the
w riter thinks) the first church established in
Talbot or Harris counties. They worshiped
in the small church, until the crops were
laid hy; then erected a church at the o'd
site of Corinth church of split pine logs; size
about 28 by 32 feet, in which they worshiped
until 1838, when they built a framed house
at a cost ot £475. Itev. B. R. Searcy was
the architect, and when completed ho
preached the dedh ation sermon.
In 1869 it was, in a church hlceting,
agreed to move about one mile to Pratts
burg, and erect anew church. To that, end
Rev. Z. Stearns, Joseph Brown, W. T.
Carter, .J. F. Mathews, and W. P. Mathews,
were appointed a building committee, who
contracted w ith James Cottingham, for him
to furnish everything and build the house
to. £1,625. He, with abundant help, had
it completed in-30 days and delivered up
the keys and received every dollar of liis pay,
and it there was a murmur, or bad thought,
by any one in the whole transaction, the
writer never beard of it. The dedication
sermon was pr- ached by the pastor, Rev.
K. J. Corley, (October 24th, to a large con
gregation.) Iron 2d Chronicles, Gthaud 18th
versos; which reads as follows: “But will
Gou iu every deed dwell with men on earth 7
Behold, heaven and the ln-aven of heavens
cannot contain thee; how much less this
house I have built!”

Corinth Church has doubtless in her
whole history fallen behind many churches
in amount of spiritual enjoyment, but she
Ims pursued the even tenor of her way; has
had her revivals and times of rejoicing and
periods of coldness, but peace aud harmony
have prevailed among her members, almost
uninterruptedly. She has by never failing
to pay her assessment for the support of h**r
pastors, carried out literally our Saviour’s
declaration. “The laborer is worthy ot his
hire.” In which she has set an example
worthy ol emulating. Her members now
number 77. which is more than she could
claim any time in the past, notwithstand
ing she has most of the time hud a much
i&rgor white population contiguous During
antebellum limes, Corinth Jiad a largo mem
bership of blacks, who were at one time
served by Rev. 13. R. Searcy, a local deacon.
He was illiterate, but a good and zealous
man, and had a very strong will and he had
much difficulty in disciplining his large and
unruly flock. On one occasion he had a
number ot thou on triul for various offences.*
They criminated aud recriminated each
other, and had much conflicting evidence
until they got into a muss, and to a dead
lock, which the pastor broke up by turning
every black member out of the church, not
without notifying them that he would at his
next appointment open the doors of the
church and receive back those who might
be considered worthy. By this bold and
summary process the church was relieved of
many members who were not inclined to
live up to the requirements of its discipline.
The church, whoso sketch this is, b is had
in its long history, many members who
were remarkable for their devotional piety
and sterling worth to the church, but the
w riter will only name some of those who
have gone to their reward: Josiah Mathews,
Rev. J3. J{. 'Searcy, Joseph Brown, 'V. C.
Spear, Mrs. Jennie M o hews,Mrs. Elizabeth
Stearns, Mrs. Nancy Pearson, Mrs Martha
Drane, Mrs. Ellen Draue, and Mrs. Minerva
S. Mathews.
This ketch would be incomplete without
mention of one who still survives, Rev. Z.
Stearns, who has been an esteemed member
of, and pillow to the church, for near forty
years; most ol which time lie kept up a
monthly appointment at it; he is now in his
eighty-fourth year is waiting to be called to
his reward. Corinth bring the first church
to exist in this section of the country, may
she be among the last whose light shall
cease to shine, and as the genial dews I
deceuded upon the cedars of Lebanon, so j
may the grace of God decend on her, ena- j
bling her to go on prospering and to pros- i
per, until time shall be uo more, then may j
all who have worshiped at her alters join 1
the happy throng with those whose robes
havo been made white in the blood of the
Limb and sing God’s praise while eternal
ages shall roll. W. P. M.
