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.
