dricks and others raised a considerable
sum with which to defray the funeral
expen iter. The grave In which the re
mains were laid to rest at Rose Hill
wan given by Mrs. Mary D. Floyd of
this city.
The people of Macon, knowing the
true situation in the case, and not
wishing to alfow the funeral to be con
ducted by the county authorities did
what they deemed correct and in the
name of humanity and out of their
respect for ‘'somebody’s boy* gave the
body a Christian burial.
At the undertaker's appropriate
hymns were rendered by Laurie Julian.
The selections were especially befitting
the occasion. They were "Some day

"BRUNSWICK. Oa.. Aug. 13.—Mr.

Brother: We have read In the papers
today of good Brother Mumford’s death
with a great den! of regret. The ques
tion from every one is. who will take
hla place, who can do for the outcast
children of Georgia what he has done?
I have been trying to get up a little
money for the home today, and en
close you check of Mr. J. M. Burnett
for $3; one from our congressman,
Hon. O. W. Brantley, for $10. and my
to the business affairs of the home. | own check for 952. and attach a list of
Miss Mumford la thought to
best available person for the place she
now holds on account of having been
thoroughly acquainted with the work
which her father had under his charge.
The board In choosing her have felt
that she will be able to render valuable
service In the position. ,
A full account of the funds on hands
and the accounts of the home were
rendered to the hoard yesterday by
Miss Mumford. An Itemised account
which she presented at the meeting Is
given below:

Total debt $9,188.05
Cash on hand 1,697.06
Thla leaves a debt hanging over the
Institution of $1,490.99. The debt on
the land however Is such ns will not re.
quire Immediate payment, arrangement
having been previously made for the
annugl payment of $250 when the land
was purchased by Mr. Mumford. This
will leave on the hand of the board for
Immediate settlement an amount of
$2,090.99.
The secretary stated that she had
presented all the accounts which had
come into her bunds, but asked thut the
board make Inquiry and have any other
account against the home presented if
were persons still holding these.
The board requeat that outstanding ac
counts be sent to Miss Mumford.
The board has nlready communicat
ed with parties relative to taking up
the work of general manager- nt the
home. A letter hna been sent to one
of the leading workers of the state
and If his services nre secured for the
Home there can be little question as
to future success In the management
of affairs among this body of children.
The board Is awaiting a reply from
this man. They are engaged In secur
ing a general unnuger and will make
this the most Important burden upon
thetr shoulders after they have pre-
jut red for the Immediate wants of the
children nt the Home.
The boys' band of the Horn" will
go out In a few days for tho purpose
of securing funds to carry the debts of
the home. A man will leave the city
Monday for the purpose of distributing
advertising matter and securing
route for the band and within a w*
from this time the boys will leave
the trip. It In expected that they will
be ubie to secure help by this method
and in the meantime work will be done
In other ways to assist.
Many people have continued to con
tribute and send expressions of sym-
HJthr for the children in the death
of their benefactor. The board nlso
has the expressiHl good wilt of many
persons who are willing to assist In
any way possible to put the home upon
a aelf-suMotning basis. Among the
most Important communications yes
terday was that of the board of trus
tees of the Methodist Orphans* llomo

the death of Dev. Mr. Mumford oc
curred. The tribute comes from one

founder.
Tribute of Hon. C. A. Turner.
HOT SPRINGS. Ark.. Aug. 16.—Ed
itor Telegraph:I see.from your paper
that Dr. Mumford ho* been cnlled to
the home of perpetual childhood. "Ex
cept ye become us little children, ye
shall not enter Into the kingdom of
God.”
1 have frequently said of Ur. Mum
ford that he was, In my Judgment, the
best man In Macon: that he lived
nearer to the Bible definition of a true
Chrlstlau than any man within my
knowledge. He seems to have caught
Its true spirit, und Interpreted It cor
rectly; "that Christianity wns not a
profession but a life." He believed
that true service to God was service to
mnn In It* highest sense. "Religion,
pure and undented. Is to visit the or
phan and widow." Taking this text
ns the, motto of his life, he adopted
the twenty-fifth chapter of Matthew
as the rule of his conduct. In which Is
so fully described the conduct In life,
which will be recognised at the gutes
of heaven. In it are no protestations
of Christianity or self-satisfaction, but
all is action. "Inasmuch ns ye fed,
clothed, visited or ministered unto one
of the least of these little ones, ye
have done U ur.to me." Dr. Mumford
lived i)P to this rule. He gave his life
for these little ones, in renllty, as did
no other man In the bound* of his
state, and we verily believe he has his
reward.
Dr. Mumford was one of the most
modes! men I ever knew. About six
weeks ago he. sent for the writer, and
after first fully expressing the futth
which always so fully possessed him.
he spoke to him of the anxiety which
he felt for hi* children of ‘The In
dustrial Home." After discussing the
matter, he suggested that If the press
o’ the slate would take up their cause,
it would relieve the necessity which
thert pressed so heavily upon the
home. The writer said to him that
his wife was quite unwell, and that he
must leave with her in a few hours
for White Springs, but that he would
address a communication to The Tel
egraph. and see its editor-ln-rhtef. He
seemed very much gratified, but on
rising to leave him. he took the writer
by the hand and said: "Please do not
let tpy name be known In It.” This
puttied me, because 1 believed an ap
peal from him would bo more success
fu! than from any other source. But
1 can see now that in hla modesty, hla
purpose was to prevent any possible
claim to that which the preaa might
accomplish for these children.
His l‘fo was full of charity.
IIe wnn never heard to speak aught
evil %»f any man. but always word*
comfort and cheer, and the best
nstruction possible he put upon their
“ fuel. The most humble of all, he
