1836 his health failed and he was hon

He again attempted army work and
was made second lieutenant in a com

signed to lighter duty. While in
Dooly he formers company of Home
Guards, serving under Gen. Howell
Cobb, and was on duty in Macon
when the surrender came. Like ail
Confederates, he accepted the surren

to the restoration of his section. That
restoration had been speedy but for

JUDGE J. H. WOODWARD
Judge J. H. Woodward, who died
at his home in Vienna, Ga., on Oct.
18, 1918, was given length of days
and lived to be 86 years of age. The
In politics Judge Woodward was of
the Samuel J. Tilden and John B.
Gordon type, believing in the school
of Jefferson. He was intensively a
war-man in this great struggle, re
garding the cause and its principles
the same as for which he fought in the
sixties.
Judge Woodward had strong at
tachment for the Macon Telegraph.
When he was 19 years of age he trav
eled on horseback through Southern
Georgia for the Telegraph. His af
fection for the paper clung through
life. He kept files of the editorial
page, and the day before his death
with his own hands he tore off the ed-,
itorial page and handing it to his
daughter, Emily, said: “ijile this
along with the others.’’
Observing the autumn leaves fall
ing from the trees recalls a sermon I
once heard Dr. John j. Brantly preach
“We all do fade as the leaf.” And
this sermon reminds me so vividly of
two old friends, Judge Frank Little
and Judge J. H. Woodward, both dy
ing the same week and the same day.
Like the leaf they had run their
course. The leaf reveals itself first in
the bud, then expands into full beauty
and serving its purpose arrays itself
in its autumnal glory and falls from
sight. Before departing the leaf by
nature’s wonderful alchemy deposits
the germ by which when spring re
turns it reproduces itself and again
unfolds into beauty and shado.
Our two friends, Judge Little and
Judge Woodward, unlike the leaf will
not reappear in living form to us
next spring, but they made provisions
for an eternal existence in.the homes,
not made with hands, eternal in the
heavens. They 1 walked with God
while living, and accepting Jesus
Christ as their Savior through His
saving grace they pass into immortali-
ity, and enjoy forever that, peace
which passeth all understanding.
