Hamilton at his home near Kibbee Saturday morning last, a familiar figure and landmark of,citizenship : has been removed. During many weeks he had been ill, and his death had been suspected by many friends and relatives, and on Sat urday morning the end came. On Sunday the remains of this good citizen wore laid away m the family burial ground near his home, and near the home of his birth. The burial rites of tin Masonic order, of which lib was an honored member, were admin istered at the grave of this lament ed brother, being well attended by members of the order. A larg ■ ; number of friends were present to pay the last tribute of respect. Mr. Hamilton was one of the best known citizens of this coun ty, having twice served as a mem ber of the General Assembly from Montgomery. He was an upright gentleman and a good citizen, and had reached the mature; age of nearly fourscore, ail of which were spent in this county. , A number of children, all well known, are left to mourn the de parture of a loving father, his; aged companion having passed ly her reward nearly two years ago. May it be that they are united on happy shores of the Blessed Land, where there is no parting and where the souls of men are made perfect in the love of God. 1 SHORT LOSAI ITi.vIS, gj «Tofhfcf* *; * i»;«' </«; »•; a ;»»;« ( Rev.

Christmas represents our Lord’r humanity, while Easter r. jiv -01,is his divinity. lie came into the i,world (at (Hiri. tme) to ave us from our sins. By Hie power of bis resurrection (Euster-tide) he compe-red death find its eouHequenees His re.-u red ion points lm> k ti; hi- nativity and coin pie,t< s and ccrti j lies his purpose in the world. So Easter means as much to us as j Christ mas. Easter, as a Chri-tiaii Festive Dav, like Christ mas, whiff | not commanded, is however is well pleasing to Him lor whom it, is a 1 memorial. The fact wliieW it. represents (which is the ffe-miTeolion) ! ;mw by divine command, t ypified in the iff-brew Sacrifices by the j j ‘‘Wave on Sheaf offering’’ wherein the first fruits of the land were: offered as an oblation, signifying Christ, tin- First Fruits of tlm Res-! ; iirectidn. And •- a rely if the .Jews could typify t-ho coming res ti root-1 ion and receive God’s approval, can we not much more celebrate thci ; same resurrection, which is now past, and thus honor linn and there-1 by point forwaad f.o our hope, even the resurrect ion of our bodies, j and t<> receive hi-: favor? ‘'lf Christ be not rn-cn,''ilien is our preach-; j ing vain and your faith also vain.” I WHEN EASTEH COMES—L I'llAieen asked a tliou ,11(1 t imes, “Wh.m does Easter com"'/” K.-..-,tcr couie.s on the lir ;l, .Sunday after the 1 Ith day of the calendar rm on which happens upon or next, after March t i 21st.

The ceremony I wns’-perfonned in'-the parlor of (he home by Dr. J. \V\- Leo, and while none of the inmates could be present, they knew what was happening, and the spirit of some thing joyous and springlike lin gered over every ward and pillow. Tlfa singular woddlag-i'-puts the linol chapter to an unusual ro mance. Dr. Hargrove and Miss Fox first, met pnoh other while she was in the nurses’ training school •it Grady hospital and he was an interim there. They were hot li '• facing their professional future. He bad but. recently graduated from the Atlanta College of Phy sicians and Surgeons with high honors. The story of his medical educa tion is a unique one. The young student was originally a skilled machinist, lie \fould work all night long in the simps of a local manufacturing plant and t hen by i) o’clock in the morning he would lie attending lectures <>r clinics. While lie hammered away ntguint boilers in the dead lmtirs of the night two visions were constantly liefere him: The one of science, l.lie other of a girl with gray eyes and dark hair. This was his life for four arduous years. At length he finished his course mid so high was his standing that •Jin was made interne at. the city's hospital. There he and Miss Fox saw each other often. Their fu ture they necessarily Imld in com mon. They became engaged. It, was not tlmir intent ion to ; marry until some months hence. I Hut, Dr,, Hargrove had rapidly ; built tip a splendid practice at I Sail’, Gn.,find lie came to Atlanta jmi a visit, and he and Miss Fox ! decided they would be married at I once. She had been superinten dent of Idle Homo for Incurables a year. The place Imd grown to !be her home.' Ho, there the wed ding was celebrated. The inti ; mute friends of both were pre sent and following the ceremony they went through the different , rooms and told the sick people j good-night. They will leave shortly for their now homo.
