It our memory is correct he was married in Jones county, Ga. lie was deacon of the Baptist church about 60 years. He was al- wa yg at his post, until old age came on. He was a dear lover of Sabbatli gghools and acted as superintendent until he was ciippled and was com¬ pelled to give up this cheiished and much loved object. Not more than 12 miles from this place in Macon county, at old County Line we used to go every Sunday morning to Sun- day school and after our lessons were recited,he never failed to kiod- ly and affectionately admonish the young and by imagination now we the tears chasing each other as tried to speak to us all for our ( >°d- Ji °w oieen he repeated the 1 tien rule we can t tell. In his andi church rehumns he was and beloved and faithful The of Ins example and that ofl 1 ® 8 P 10US companion led all their cltildren to the savior in tender years. He was faiiho l to eve y chrtch rr r'. ivt*. His seat was uev- lor empty tu when lie was able to be iex e. The oldest cliiid is the mother of the writer, a pious devoted mo¬ ther. We remember when out grand-father used to take us on his knees and press us to his heart. His itouse was the home of the minister. No charitable object ...... that . be- came ^eh.m was ever neglected He ^ ™ knew paid he h.s could pastor safely and lean the pa»- on ^ He was an honest and con¬ seten tons man In all his dealings He loved to do ught.

One by one the loved are crossing over to the other side, one by one they are laying their armors down. We have loved ones on that shore that await our comhig. Attractions for us are be¬ ing added and the sweet welcome the happy greeting the pleasant meeting of all the good in tiie glory l.,nd, o never part are worth tiie few tears of sorrow we shed by the way here. May it be the chief ob¬ ject, desire and prayer of all his loved ones to meet him in the Sweet Bye and Bye. Four Mo ii (lis for AO cents.
