An old Lund Murk (lour.
On last Friday night at bis home
four miles south of Douglas, (he ven
erable Jolm Carver passed away.
He had been ailing with dropsy for
several months and bis death was not
unexpected, ho being seventy six years
of age and consequently an easy prey
to his malady.
Mr. Carver was one of the staun
chest citizens of Coffee, a man of rare
honesty and earnest piety. A private
iti tho army of life, he sought rather
to perform th.it function well than to
make greater pretension at risk of
failure. He was a good man, a dea
con in the Missionary Baptist church,
mid his life was eminently consistent
iv i'h the precepts of Ilia’ faith. He wa
fairly well to do in (he matter of thk
wor’d’s goods and hud one of the best
plantations in (he county. lie was
buried near his home Saturday.
Rev. !!. T. Flluidge.
Tho people of Coffee county will
regret to’cam of the death of Henry
T. Ethridge who passed a.vay at Cor-
Mr. closely al
ti c soul hoi n
ii ■
rcuit for four
yciHßpPffic time and one fit an
other; During his pastorate with
that people, lie endeared himself lo
them as no other minister ever did.
They held him as long as Methodism
would allow, and after lie had been in
the West three or four yea:s and was
returned to Georgia, his old flock sent
a special petition with ncafly a*doub
led salary to conference 'o have "Broth
er Ethridge”-sc:U again to thorn. Peo
ple almost worshiped tho man, and
truly they loved a great character.
When in college Tom Ethridge was
considered by all to be the finest char
acter in s jhc.nl. His piety was im
plicity trustcd, bis energy Wa3 indom
itable and liis manhood iireeminent.
The boys and professors alikcloved him
and his influence at Emory College is
yet a,powerful agency for good.
Iff the battleo 1 Hie lie was no less
a success. Men only had to look in
bis broad manly face to give him their
support. There was no guile, nr.
treachery, no hidden secrets there.
11 is big heart fairly shown out through
bis e untenance and men followed
after his shining light. AVhilo in tin
far West his labors we e felt even to
Georgia; for young men listfuid to his
counsel and came all the way to Em
ory College, that grand old institution
of learning, where they might receive
a Christian education.
Ethridge never eeasgd j.o do good.
Up to the begPming of his illness, he
was protracting a meeting for the g'o
ry of His kingdom, and it is certain
hs finished a greryt work altougli the
lived a comparatively short life. He
was only thirty five. His physical
presence is gone bq; his infun n e r -
mains.
