To the Memory of Mr. Peter Culp.
On Monday, October S, 1891, at S o'clock,
p. an, after a long and painful illne*, Mr.
Peter Culp, one of our oldest and most 1
highly esteemed tit mas paaaed away- He
was born Oct. 25th, 1813,and consequently
had nearly finished his 79th year, fifty- .
seven years ago be was married, and bad
lived happQy all these years. Several
chi dreo were bora to him, two or three of
whom had preceded him to tbe spirit land. '
He leaves his aged companion and two
sons and three daughters and many grand
children and friends to mount his death.
He was a true man in every sense of the
word. Truthful, honest, brave, courteous, i
he won friends among all dawmi He was
generous to the unfortunate, bestowing
benefactions as hia meana permitted—kind-
hearted, sympathetic and genial, be was
a moat agreeable companion—warm in his
friendships, he waa outspoken and fearless
in his opposition to what he believed to b«.
wrong. Possessing ail these traits be was
almost perfectly transparent in his char-
I acter—leaving no one in doubt as to bis
friendships or bis position on any subject
I of any im portance.
I In early life his advantages were limited,
I but hir fine natural abilities and hard study
I enabled him to take position ass good bu-
I si ness man. He spoke and wrote clearly
I and intelligently on all subjects engaging
I bis attention, and though hia views were
I sometime.] regarded as erratic, no one
I doubted his honesty »r sincerity.
I He was honest and industrious. By dil-
I igent attention to business and persistent
I bard work, he not only lived comfortably
I but accumulated a competency for dt-
I dining years. He alluded to the fact ma-
I ny times when with intimate friends that
I he never received more than 50 cents a
I day for hia services up till 1840, when be
I came to Clsrke county, from which time
I bis business became prosperous and stea-
I dily remained so until his last illness. He
I was scrupulously honest, and despised
I on am; and deceits of every description.
I He was a man of fiery temper, but witbai
I so generous and forgiving, that if an im-
I petuuua temper sometimes .betrayed him
I into saying or doing rash things, almost in
I s.twinkling it was over, and even where
I ne believed he had been wronged,waa wili-
I iDgJto forgive and forget.
His nature waa intensely emotional, and
I I be was ever ready to weep with those that
I weep. He could not hcur.the recital of the
I stoty of suffering without his sympathetic
I I heart taking part in the sorrows of the
I distressed ones.
' I He was peculiarly fond of young peo-
I I pie, and waa ever ready to talk with boys
1 1 and young men—especially on the subject
I of religion, and doubtless many were ben-
' I eflted by this loving care.
’ I He was a public spirited man. On all
' I questions, moral or political,aflecling either
► I the welfare of the state or the nation, he
> I took great interest and with voice and pen
I del ended that which he believed to be for
' c I the right.
-I Of the sacred ties in the home-life, tb e
r I picture is tender and beautiful. As hus-
* I band and father, be waa firm but gentle,
I kiud and loving- There was something
I I striking in the gallant and courtly manner

nad made no changes, and to him she was
the same lovely maiden he bad wooed and
won in the long, long ago.
Of his religious life—that part of it for
the past few years—is known to all his
acquaintance;. For sevtral years he has
been an earnest and zealous member of
i the Second Baptist Church of this city,
and with his voice and purse did all that
he cocld for its prosperity and success.
He united with tbe Baptist church in an
other county over 45 years ago, but an un
fortunate trouble in that communion caus-
I ed him to withdraw from it, and he re-
I mained out of the church for many years,
I and daring that time wandered away, but
I God in bis mercy brought aim back, and
I the last years of his life have been spent
I in earnest and zealous labors for the
I Church and tbe salvation of men. Many
I remember bis warm and earnest exborta-
I tions to the unconverted in the numerous
I cottage prayer-meetings which he .sttend-
I ed, and frequently in these services, as
I well as at tbe different churches, with
soegbt for twelve
mouths to mislead and delude the hon

ing classes in Georgia.
But the contest is over, so far as
Georgia is cot cerued, the victory has
been won; principles bave ascended
high above prejudices, -and Peek and
Post and their cohorts bave relegated
to the rear, where they will not again
have an opportunity to plan and at
tempt to execute the destruction of
white man’s rule and Democratic gov
ernment in this blccsed commonwealth.
In every city, village and hamlet in
Georgia, loyal Democrats, lovers of
