FRIDAY, —APRIL . that would have discouraged most men, he kept the faith and worked for what he deemed was right. Though seventy-eight years old, he kept young in spirit through his love of his fellow man, and especially of young people. He was a great ad mirer of children and almost every child in the community knew him by his name and had a word of greeting and cheer for him as he passed along the street. His character and integrity was above reproach. He was trusted by all who knew him, and was one of those rare individuals in whose hands ten millions or ten billion dollars were as safe as in the strong box of the national treasury. “An honest man is the noblest work of God” is an ap pelation that describes his character. He was as tender as a child, as mod est as a young girl, and no obscene joke or profane language was ever heard to escape his lips. He was temperate in his habits and speech. He worked and worshipped with equal regularity. To a remark able degree he possessed the faculty of patience. Fortitude and courage marked his life. He never spoke of j his troubles to others and unkind crit ; icism he did not indulge in. The funeral services were held from the home Sunday afternoon at three o’clock and were attended by a large number of friends. Delegations from the First Baptist church, the Baptist Sunday School, the Confed erate Veterans and county officers at tended. The services were conducted by Dr. Robert VanDeventer, assisted by Rev. S. R. England of the Meth odist church. Short talks on his life and character were made by Hon. J. Threatt Moore, representing the town and county; Mr. F. S. Etheridge, rep resenting the First Baptist church, and Prof. W. P. Martin, representing the First Baptist Sunday School, j Many tributes of flowers, which he so much loved were sent by friends and the First Baptist church, First Bap tist Sunday School, Daughters of the American Revolution and Daughters I of the Confederacy. The pallbearers | were Messrs. J. T. Moore, J. C. Jones and J. W. Hencely, representing the city of Jackson and First Baptist church, and Messrs. J. 0. Gaston, Hugh Mallet and J. H. Ham, repre senting the county officers. The body was laid to rest in the Jackson Cem etery.

Jolly; four grandchildren, I Joseph Howard Jolly, U. S.

R. Goodman has in his pos session a letter written by his father, James A. Goodman, just a feva days before the close of the civil war. It was written on April 4, from Smith field, N.

Our company has been in two hard fights, one on the 16th and one on the 19th March. Lieut. Halstead and' Taylor Adair of our company were killed on the 16th at Averysboro.

Old Sherman seems to be satisfied for a while. We rather whipped him out at both fights. I am very anxious for this war to close. We have some peace rumors from Richmond but nothing reliable.

I don’t know hovo long it will last. I will close for this time. Write soon, As ever, your affectionate husband, JAMES A. GOODMAN. P. S.—Direct your letter to Cos. “A” 22nd Bat. Ga.
