Mrs* Edward R. Hodgson. Sr.—
“ They Shad be Mine, Sa>th the
Lord In that Day When I
Make Up My Jewels.”
In the holy hush of the Sabbath
morning, that day of rest sh* loved so
well, the soul of MrB. Edward R
Hodgson, Sr., burst its earthly cere-
mcntsand at the call of the Master
winged its flight beyond the stars.
Hers was a death that bore with it an
element of the divine, a peaceful end
ing of a useful and well-spent lifa, a
Christian triumph over death and the
grave, a joyous entrance into the pres
ence of her Matter.
For some time, Mrs. Hodgson had
been sick, and the weight of years
added to the affliction.
She bora it bravely, and with.Christian
fortitude, and when she died surround
ed by her children and grandchildren,
it was with the blest assuiance that just
ahead the pearly gates swung open and
the loved ones beckoned her home.
Mrs. Hodgson was one of Athens’
oldest and most highly esteemed citi
zens, having lived here for over fifty
years, being seventy-one years of age at
the time of her death.
She was the mother of ten sons and
one daughter, Messrs. Asbury H., Ed
ward R , Robert, William H.,'Joseph
M , George T., Thomas A., Frederick,
Albon, and Guy Hcdgson, and Mrs. R
D. Mure. Of these Messrs. Robert and
William H. Hodgson have already
croscsd the river.
The funeral yesterday afternoon at
three o’clock from the First Methodist
church was one of the largest ever held
in Athens. The large number of lriends
and acquaintances that gathered there
constituted a splendid tribute to the
• worth of the deceased. And there were
few dry eyes in the congregation as the
solemn procession entered tho church
the body being borne to the chancel by
six sans of the departed mother.
The choir consisting of Mrs. J. W
Brumby, Mrs. H. H. Carlton, Messrs,
W. D. Hooper and C. H. Herty sang
sweetly, that immortal hymn, "Come
ye Disconsolate.”
Rsv. C. B . Lane read the 90th Psalm
and Rev. H. H. Parks read the 15th
chapter of 2nd Corinthians, after whioh
Dr. £. W. Speer offered up a fervent
and to >chiog prayer.
The choir then sang “Nearer my God
to Thee,” after which Dr. T. R. Kendall
preached one of the truest, best, and
most perfect funeral sermons ever de'
livered in Athens.
“And they shall be mine, saith
Lord, in that day when 1 make up
jewels.” These words constituted
text upon which the preacher based his
remarks.
His tribute to the Christian life of
the deceased was beautiful, and it did
not over estimate the true worth of the
mother in Israel who has gone from
among us. She was, indeed, a grand
and good woman, one who from the
early age of sixteen had followed in the
steps of Him who died for the world’s
salvation. How many are they who
can Ustify to her liberal charity, her
generous nature, her kindly sympathy,
her motherly care, her
Christian graces. To. have
live such a life » glorious, to die such
death is untold gaiu.
The body was borne from the
church by the pall bearers, Messrs,
H. C. White, C. M. Snelling, R. K
Reaves, J. S. King, W.
Welch and S. M. Herrington
as the choir sang the recessional hymn
.** How blest the righteous wbea she
dies.”
In the quietude of Oconee cemetery
the remains of this aged Christian pil
grim were tenderly and lovingly laid to
rest, bat in a thousand hearts in Athens

the
IN MEMORIAM.
With faltering hand and tear-dimmed
eyes we would pay a last sad tribute of
love and respect to the nrfemory of our
deceased friend, Mrs. Peter Baughn.
Six weeks ago she was attacked by
that dread disease, typhoid fev r, ml
from then until breath left her spent
and worn-oat body, she bore Intense
suffering with Christian patience and
fortitude.
Yesterday tender and loving hands
laid her remains to rest in the family
metery in Oglethorpe Co. and today
another onoe happy home is desolate
and lonely without a wife and mother.
Mrs. Baughn possessed all the traits
of character that goto make a noble
woman. Love, kindness and charity
being always Bbown in her daily life;
and even while raging in the delirium
of fever, when occasionally the light of
reason would shine in her eyes, she
still showed solicitude for the comfort
of others. A truer or more devoted
wife, mother and friend, never lived;
and these words of the Bible 'ever ap
plied to her: “She looketh well to the
ways of her household, and eateth not
the bread of idleness.” The best years
of her life were spent in her Master’s
service, and now He has called her to
her reward.
For many hours before she died it
was painful for her friends and loved
ones to have to stand silently by and
see her suffer truly “the agonies of
death.” But no mortal skill could stay
the disease—the fiat had gone forth—
and we could only wa' oh her pass away
And oh! when the restless spirit was fi
nally released and winged its flight to
the God who gave~it, bow swett and
comforting to ns was the changed ex
pression on that dear, kind face from
agony and pain to perfect rest and hap
piness. As she lay in her coffin, she
seemed Bweetly sleeping and having
pleasant dreams, so natural and life-like
dfd she appear.
Sad indeed must this world appear to
the aged partner at whose side she had
so faithfully and lovingly walked for
t v .irty-seven years. But he only sor
rows for the abience of her daily com
panionship, and rejoices that she is free
from all trouble and care, and that when
the Savior says to him also, “Come up
higher,” she will be at the Pearly Gates
to greet and welcome him into the
throng of the redeemed.
Dear, kind friend, farewell! He will
sadly iniss ycu, and it is not wrong t
grieve, for Jesus wept at the grave of
Lozsrus. But how inexpressibly hap
py is your soul today—freed from its
tenement of clay, Bitting at vonr Sa
vior’s feet and helping to swell the
great anthem of praise! May we profit
by your go- d example on earth and
earnestly strive to meet you in the Ce
lestial City.
To the bereaved husband, son and
daughter, we would ofler our heartfelt
sympathy, and would say to them in
the language of our Savior, “Weep not
she is not dead, but sleepcth ”
“Wc shall sleep, but not forever,
There will be a glorious dawn,
We will meet to part, no never,
On the resurrection morn.”

there was intimidation present.
The caveators are represented by Mr.
W. C. McCall, of Qnitman, who ia now

The Convention at Baltimore Wrang
ling Over a committee.
Baltimore, Oct. 18.—Bishop Coleman,
of Deleware, and Rev. Dr. DeRoBet, of
conducted thie opening re
ligions exercises of the eleventh day
session of the triennial Episcopal con
vention.
The two houses promptly went into a
business session. In the house attempt
was made to straighten out the parlia
mentary tangle in which it ■ found itself
involved on Saturday.
When the reports of standihg commit
tees were called for and the committee
on constitutional amendments were
reached Rev. Dr. Huntington of New
York presented a petition which made
a sensation.
He read a report asking that the com
mittee be allowed to return to the house
the resolution of Mr. Nash, of New
York, amending article 6, with respect
to the trial of clergymen.
The resolution of the last convention
to amend articles 8 and 9, and other
matters involving grave constitutional
consideration, and requested that the
committee be discharged from consider
ing all resolutions amending the consti
tution, as under the recent action of the
house (adoption of the Burgwin resolu
tion of Saturday) all such-reports from
(liia committee are referred to a joint
commission, and that the committee.be
discharged from further service during
the remainder of the session.
Is the house ready for the question?"
asked President Dix. Several delegates
asked if the resolutions could not be voted
upon separately as they desired to de
feat the last resolution on ground, as ex-
tressed by Rev. Dr. Nelson, of Virginia.
Chat it would be nui#ise to do so. Mr.
Riddle, of Pennsylvania said the adop
tion of the resolution would confirm the
jainful impression that the house had
rested the committee with disrespet in
passing Saturday’s resolution, and he
was sure that no intention existed to slur
or slight the committee or its distinguish
ed members.
Mr. Burgwin said this was the first
time during his long connection with the
house that nis intentions or motives had
been questioned. He then made a per
sonal explanation of his position and
views, stating that though pertinacious
in support of the measure he regarded as
important he had never resorted to un
derhand methods.
Rev. Dr. Huntingdon withdrew any
remarks he may have made on Saturday
Which militated against the position just
assumed by the deputy from Pittebnrg.
He upheld his resolution and reiterated
the fact that the reports of the committee
not having any standing iq the house
were useless.
Mr. Burgwin asked for a suspension
of tho rules, which was granted, though
there was a number of noes, and the
vote had to be decided by a count.
Mr. Burgwin then moved a reconsid
eration of the action by which his reso
lution had been passed oil Saturday
Whioh wak done, and the resolution laid
on the table.
Rev. Dr. Huntingdon then asked
leave to withdraw his report This was
granted.
A resolution was then adopted to refer
the proposed amendments of the session
of lo89, and all others which may not
hgve been acted upon at the close of
this session to a joint commission.
Somo committee reports of minor im
portance were made before tho joint
committee to select a place for holding
the convention of 1895 was reached. The
committee reported that it fixed on Sar
atoga, N. Y. Objections were made by
several deputies to the claims of repre
sentatives of Saratoga, and the report
was placed on the calendar.
After the introduction of some resolu
tions and the readihg of a number of
messages from the house of bishops the
special orders of the day, the report of
tne commission on the hymnal was taken
np.
Rev. Dr. Henry W. Nelson, of western
New York, presented a voluminous re
port. He pleaded that the action of the
committee be ratified by the house with
out going into the committee of the
whole.

Cleveland Gives His Reasons for Ndt
Going to Chicago.
Chicago, Oct. 18.—Grover Cleveland,
Mrs. Cleveland and baby Cleveland will
not go to Chicago. Mr. Cleveland de
clines the invitation" in the following
manly manner:
New York, Oct. 18.
Edward C. Culp, Secretary, etc.:
Mv Dear Sir—Mr response to your
courteous Invitation to attend the dedica
tion exercises of the World’s Columbian
Exposition has been long delayed. I
should be very glad to be present on this
interesting occasion, and thus show mv
appreciation of its importance, if I could
do so solely as an ex-president of the
United States. I am sure, however, that
this is impossible, and I am unwilling to
take a trip, which, from beginning to end,
despite all efforts on my part,
would be regarded as a political tour made
by a candidate for the presidency.
My general aversion to such a trip is over
whelmingly increased in thisparticular
instance when I recall the .afflictive dis
pensation which detains the president at
be bedside of his sick wife, another candi
date for the presidency.
I have thus frankly stated the reasons
which constrain me to forego t!-j satisfac
tion which an acceptance of your invita
tion' would afford me. I hope in the light
of the considerate and sympathetic seuti-
meut, which ought to be felt by all our
eople, that these considerations will be
.eemed au abundant justification of my
action. Yours very truly,
Grover Cleveland.
