THE BANNER, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 10, 1911, MID JO REST Remains of the Late Cap- tian J. C. Wages Yester day at Noon Buried at Rutledge. (From Tuesday's Banner.) Yesterday about noon the remains ot the late Capt. John C. Waxes, whose death occurred at his home on Waddell street this city Saturday morning, were laid to rest In the cem etery at Rutledge, the (uneral being conducted at that place by the pastor ol the Methodist church. The funeral party consisting of the family and quite a number of friends, was augmented by a delegation of the local order of Elks, from whose ranks the pallbearers were selected. The funeral services were simple and im pressive and a great audience was present to attest the popularity of the deceased and the devotion In which he was held by hundreds of all classes. The following tribute has been pre pared by a close friend ot Capt. Wages. Tribute of U. C. T.'s. Editor Banner:—Under the over shadowing, overpowering sense of our loss In the denth ot our dear and good friend, Captain John W. Wages, the late conductor on the Athens branch of the Georgia railroad, as a member of Classic Council No. 315, United Commercial Travelers, I express the deep sorrow of each member in these few lines. I can scarcely trust myself lo write the words that crowd to my lips and clamor for utterance. There Is not'a threshold in our city, where Captain Wages was known, but Is to day darkened by the shadow of this Death Angel’s wing. There is not a home In Georgia, nor in Florida, where a U. C. T. member lives, but will hear with heaty hearts the dread ful news, which, on Saturday morning, awakened the keenest grief in our city. The many who have shared the hos pitality of his train will learn with unrelieved regret that this happy home has been Invaded by the dread ed summons that awaits us all, and he who made it home, snatched rfora arms that ached to hold him. Voices will be lower and eyes o'erfiow in many a household, when they heat that his sweet spirit has gone to Its long rest beneath the willow. He who lies before us, in dreamless slumber, with heavy lids lifting no more to af fectionate, yearning cry, with hands folded In perfect peace, was a loved und loving husband, a dear devoted father, a fond and faithful friend: No better epitaph could be chiseled on the tomb of a king. He loved his wife, his children and his hearth-stone better than he loved himself, and there was no sacrifice he counted not a joy when made for his friends. He was -not unprepared for this visit. He even expected It any mo ment, yet to his many friends, he ev er wore the same sunny smile. Like a faithful sentinel, who never knows at what moment the death shot may pierce his heart, he held himself In readiness for the call. Death came on velvet sandals, and his kiss was as the fall of the snow, beneath which we lay him to sleep. From around Ills quiet life, there spreads a soft and steady light kindled from the altar of love. Ills friend, A. B. CARTER March 6th, 1911. 10 Not National Congress But Even More Important Meeting-Southern Commercial. ODD FELLOWS GATHER AT WACO Waco.

All four were more or less bruised and scratch ed, but not a bone was broken. Five hundred people, who had congregated at the depot, witnessed the accident any many said that In a erksls llko that no ons could have as skillfully handled the situation as Mr. Fears did.
