It is very seldom that a deceased per son Is accorded two fitting and Impres sive funerals. It is not the fate of mankind to bo so honored, even ufior death. Still less frequently are young apple trees Interred—set out. as It were-with funeral and ritualistic ceremonies. Hut such were the oc currences at tBallngbroke, fifteen miles from Macon, only this week. When Tooger Adams, a negro wo man. was stabbed and killed here Sat urday night. t!ie news created some thing of a sensation among those of h**r race at Rollngbroke. her home, hut they recovered from tho shock and prepared to give the body a tilting burial. Telegrams were exchanged with the authorities in Macon, and from them it was learned that the re mains would arrive Monday afternoon ut 1:30 o’clock. So Monday afternoon there was a largo concourse at the small depot when tho train came In. The long white pine bpx that was roughly thrown from the express car received great couslderat'on from the assem bled negroes, who beeJme very indig nant at tho manner of its treatment by the railroad hands. It was tak«*u to the home of Tom Moore, the closest relative of the deceased, and put In the front room, never being opened. There was a ''setting up" Monday night In which nearly every negro In the community participated. There appeared to be very general grief and sorrow at the sudden and untimely taking away of Tooger Adams, Judg ing from til© weeping and. mourning Indulged 111 throughout the vigil. Morning came and found the mourn ers still sincere In their sorrow and lamentations, and afternoon brought the church services and the funeral. At the church the negro parson preached a masterly sermon, one that thrilled his hearers. He took as his text. "The tree Is known by Its fruits." and thrilled the bereaved congregation. The scenes at the grave were Impres sive as well as heart-breaking. A bur'al society carried out Its ritual and ceremonies, while relatives and friends manifested their woe m various and unmistakable' ways, as true mourners should. The party, numbering about forty, were returning from the cemetery hap py In the knowledge tint the beloved Tooger Adorns lmd been fittingly con signed to her last resting place, when the 5:20 trn'n arrived at tho depot, which was directly on their route. They watched the arrival and depar ture of people, and were Interested la -the careful and deliberate unloading of a long white pine box similar to the one they had just handled. Every mourner was aroused to a high pitch of exe’tenvnt, for there was possibly another funeral In prospect. Accord ingly. a committee inspect' d tho box. and imagine their astonishment, al most fright, when they rend the ln- scrintlon. "This box contains the body of Tooger Adams.” Then they re membered that they had not rend the writing on the bottom of tho other box. For n minute they wore com pletely duinfounded, thou fright and superstition got the bettor of them, and they rnn. Their rout, complete as It was, was halted by Station A sent Hill, who sum marily halted the tenders and demand ed the box containing "'Mr. WJoshlp Cabaniss* apple trees.” "You took It away from here yesterday." said tho agent, "and If you don't bring It back It'll cost you n hundred dollars." When confronted wjth stern reality, the ne groes regained I he I" lost nerve ami collected their shocked senses. The fact hit hard and deep that they had buried a box of young apple trees! Then they thoughtfully .and solemn ly filed back to the cemetery end dis interred the saplings. Yesterday there was another funeral, less Impressive than the first and the casket behind which the mourn) rs trailed contained the remains of Tooger Adams. Vauahan-Orldaers.
