Sutton, onc.of the few remaining citizens of the elder rank in Cairo, passed from earth into the realm occupied by the departed people of God. The present writer feels that some public expression should be given, in mem ory of the man. Mr. Sutton was born, in Baker county, Georgia, in the year 1852, Early in life,, he began work for the Centra] of Georgia Railroad,in Ran dolph county: and, in 1871, at the age of nineteen, he was married to Miss Matilda Rhodes, near Cuthbert. In 1875, when twenty-three, the young man joined the Damascus Baptist church, in Randolph; and from that time on to his death, this writer is assured that his life was above reproach. Mr. Sutton worked for the Cen tral Railroad seven years; at the ex piration of which period he entered into an engagement with the At lantic and Gulf Railroad, now known as the A. C. L. Railway,and held! his position thenceforward, for twenty years, until failing health compelled him to abandon “rail roading,” for farming, About six years ago the physical condition of the then aging man be' came so much impaired as to force a cessation of active business of any kind. Then, two years later, he broke down .almost completely; and during the two years last past, he was.an utter wreck. Mr. Sutton's married life was eminently peaceful,and happy. He was qhe father of eight children; all of whom, except a little boy who .died at the age of three years, sur vive him. They are Messrs. Joseph H., of Kent, Fla., Raymond L, Sam and W. A., of Cairo, Mrs. T. F. Dyson of the same place, Mrs. Monroe Merritt, of Pelham, and Miss Maude, the youngest; who re mains with Sam, to comfort her bereft mother, in the saddened home. Besides these relative*, several grandchildren are left,—and two. brothers, Messrs. Thomas, of Cli max, and Fallton, of Grady county. At the time of his death, Mr. Sut ton had been a citizen of Cairo and immediate vicinity , for twenty-seven years, leading a quiet, orderly and unobtrusive life. As a husband, he was, throughout his entire married state, devoted and true; as a father, he was never known to set an un worthy example before his children; as a church member, he was unos tentatious, but consistent. Mr. Sutton *8 illness was of a sin gularly trying and distressful char acter; but during its entire long and dreary continuation, he was never known to murmur against his God, nor to repine at his fate and, then, when the end came, it was like the* falling asleep of a little child; he closed his lips and his eyes and geptlv, sweetly, passed away. During his grievously protracted sickness of weary months and years, that noble woman, his wife, neyer faltered' iri her sweet ministrations of love and devotion; and for, sev eraldays before his death, all of his cbitdreni.w'efe constantly with him. And now, as a fitting, part com ponent of-this'simple tribhte.to the memory of a worthy man, the vv.riter is sure that nothing could be more appropriate than the following Words, taken from a letter of a prominent railroad official to one of the sons of the deceased: “Your telegram informs me of the passing away of one of the best men I ever knew. He was a good worthy citizen and a true friend.” The funeral services over the body of the departed were conducted by' his pastor, before a large congregft” tion, in the Baptist church edifice, in the afternoon of the day follow ing death, and during the discourse, tears wore (lowing freely from many eyes in the audience. Then follow ed, in conclusion, at the grave, the Masonic burial ritual, under the di rection of Mr. J. B. Wight, actnig master, in the most Bolcmn and im pressive manner; after which the grave was committed to the care of the artisans” and “all was over.” Peace to his ashes! ROYAL RUUD TO THE POLE Does Not Exist, Perry Declares to House Committee—“Discovery Pole” a Misnomer. There is no royal road to the North Pole and no sign post mark the way, according to Captain Robert E. Perry, the Arctic ex plorer, before the House naval affairs committee. He declared that data collected on the dash of the Peary expedition to the top of the world would be practically valueless to the aspiring argonauts. “Then the tforth Pole is as much lost as ever?” inquired Representa tive Gregg. “Discovery of the North Pole is a misnomer,” retorted Peary. “It is an attainment.” He acknow ledge that he had made no official report to the Navy Department.
