The body of Bishop AllticusG. Hay
good is dead. (We say bis “body”;
for he always studiously avoided the
M i ni ■ death” in connection wftjj those
whose funerals we have hears} him
preach.) He breathed his last at his
lit nue in Oxford at 2 o’clock on Dun
day morning, January 10th, surround
ed by all of his family hut two. He
was uncovarious for several days, and
his demise was expected. His re
main-’were Lurie 1 Tuesday in the
little Oxford cemetery, where already
repose the bodies of several bishops
and other illustrious men of the Meth-
I odist church. Bishop Duncan con
j ducted the funeral.
For several months Bishop II ay good
, has been declining in strength, and it
('cnied to those who were with him
i that his going was only a matter of a
J few months. Some time ago he was
stricken with paralysis in Atlanta,
when he was brought home, and hits
areely left there since. He was 50
yeais old and has loon a member of
the conference since iB6O.
Bishop i! ygyod was the most illus
trious man in the Southern Metho
dist church, and probably the next
most noted divine in America. He
was born in WatkinsvilhqGa., educated

of his career in Lis native state. Ho

It dots not appear that Bennett in
tended to shoot Bieketson, as they
were first cousins and no jll feeling

claimed that the shooting was wholly
accidental, and in consequence of
this, there was no inquest ordered.
J t was a sad affair, and is regretted

Che re was a lively time when court
convened Tuesday morning. Judge
Bart hud notified the attendants on
the court that the session would begin
iat ton o'clock, sun time; but for rea
sons so vaiious it would take a chap
| ter to tell tli ;m, nearly everybody
came lounging up to couit at ten
o clock railroad time, and half au hour
a her he had rapped for order in court.
I’he s quel was a contribution to the
county treasury of fifty cents for wit
nesses. one .dollar for jurymen and
constables, and five dollars for attor
neys. The Judge believes in prompt
tic-s, especially when the county is at
a lveavy expense.
