The funeral services yesterday' af
ternoon to the memory of Mr. R. B.
Mardre were very impressive, and the
concourse of friends that followed the
remains to their last resting place in
Laurel Hill, was as largo us lias ever
been seen iu Thonmsville.
At the residence, Rev. J. W. Wil
liams, the pastor of the dee 'used, de
livered a touching eulogy to the good
[Utilities and fine chriitiau character
of the deceased. After which Rev.
I. R. Buttle, of Boston, led in an elo
quent and earnest prayer.
The remains were taken in charge
by St. Thomas Lodge F. A. M., of
which Mr. Mardre was Past Master,
the sad march to the grave was begun.
The strikingly beautiful burial service
of die order were conducted at the
grave by Rev. J. M. Rusliin, Deputy
Grand Master of the State, and as the
words, ‘ earth to earth, dust to dust,
ashes to ashes," were repeated, the
thought was present with those ihai
had known Mr. Mardre that even the
grim monster could not hold the spirit
of the departed, and that It had gone
to a land where sickness and suffering
cannot enter, and where partings arc
unknown.
St. Thomas Lodge turned out 50
members in uniform in honor of the
sad occasion which is a touching evi
dence of the esteem in which the de
parted was held.
The following gentlemen acted as
pall bearers: Mess. R. G. Mitchell,
Wm. Campbell, |. C. Beverly, A. C.
Davenport, W. H. Bibb, and M, A.
Fleetwood.
Thus has ended a noble life, and
as the good deeds that men do live uf-
them, the world is better and brighter
for having been the abiding place of
Robert Burton Mardre.
Crowned With Years and Hon
ors.
if there were any doubts about the
popularity of Judge Ilnnscil and his
estimable wife—and there are none—
those doubts would have been dissi
pated on Tuesday afternoon and even
ing. The Judge did not issue any
invitations to his go) den wedding,
Imt, through the columns of the
TiMKS-E.NTEitriiisn, said that he and
his wife would he pleased to have
their ^neighbors and friends call , be
tween 4 and H p. m. And they
called. From the first hour men
tioned, until 8 o’clock, a steady stream
poured into the grounds and residence
to pay their respects. The rich and
the poor, all, went by scores to con
gratulate the couple on the occasion
ot their golden wedding. The bride
and groom, of fifty years ago, received
their friends in the parlor, having a
cordial hand shake, and a pleasant
word for every one. The parlor and
hall ways were tastefully festooned
and decorated with evergreens and
flowers. Friends had sent in many
beautiful bouquets and tastefully ar
ranged waiters of tlie rarest flowers.
On the piano a large number of val
uable presents—all wrought out of
gold—were displayed- Among other
things the reporter noticed a number
of gold coins, cuff buttons, collar hut-
ions, thimbles, pens, pencils, soup
ladles, spoons, scarf pins, eyeglasses,
and numerous other articles made
out of the precious mettle. The mem
bers of the Valdosta liar sent up two
rocking chairs, trimmed in old gold.
These were used by the Judge and his
wife,(for the first time, on the occasion.
They were very handsome.
The members of the local bar,
through Co], McIntyre, presented the
Judge witli a magnificent gold watch.
Col. McIntyre paid a glowing and
merited tribute to the aged jurist, al
luding to his long service on the bench,
and the great love which the bar, old
and young, felt for him.
Mr. James Watt supplemented the
watch with a massive gold chain,
“chaining the watch to the Judge ”as
lie said, “to keep any thief from ta
king it.”
The Judge responded 111 Iccling
terms to the kind expressions of friend
ship, and said that he should ever
cherish the memory of the occasion,
and keep the souvenir as an evidence
of the friendship, confidence and es
teem of the Thonmsville bar.
Mrs. Hansell was also presented
with a beautiful lady’s gold watch—
one of the most elegant to lie found at
Mr. Jcrgcrs. The lady will always
prize it, coming, as it did, from her
neighbors and friends, as n testimonial
of their friendship and high esteem.
Choice refreshments, including ices,
cream, wine and cake, were served to
ali callers. All of the children and
A Day of Ochlockonee,
Newspaper men are supposed to be
fond of picnics, and one of them at
least is willing to plead guilty to the j
soft impeachment. Yesserduv, there
fore, when the Ti m ks-Entkhpiusi:
representative hoarded the Albany
train, to tale in the picnic at Och
lockonee, lie felt sure that a pleasant
day was before him, aud now after
lie lias passed through the experiences
of the day, iiis convictions have mate
rialized into reality.
The occasion of the visit fo Ochlock-
once was a Union Sunday School Pic
nic, in which the schools of the Meth
odist and Baptist churches particici-
pated.
Rev. Mr. Fudcrwoodand Rev. Mr.
Chester were expected to lie present,
Imt failed to put in an appearance,
and one of the pieces of grim humor
of the day was the attempt to make
the reporter deliver a Sunday School
speech off hand.
At 10 o'clock the crcwd asembled
in the Methodist church, and after
some delightful music, Mess. Bos
well and Carter made impromptu ad
dresses that were models of earnestness
ar.d good taste. Then the dinner was
announced and it was as fine a dis
play ot the good things of life as one
could imagine; Mess. G. M. Bullock,
O. G. Fleetwood, R. C. West, J. i>.
Alligood, and J. E. Stephens consti
tuted a committee in charge ot refresh
ments, and aided by the good wives
of die place, they did their duty well.
If it were not a breach of confidence
tlie repor.er could name several gen
tlemen that did their whole duty at the
tables.
After every one had enough, there
was plenty lclt to feed another crowd
as large as the one present.
Ochlockonee is nprospcrmm village,
and its people know just how to make
visitors feel comforable. It will be
the pleasant duty of the reporter to
speak at length of the good people of
the surrounding country at an early
day, ami he can say much, for it is a
goodly land.
