Mr. Salbide was 5fi years of age;
a native of Spain;removed to Cuba

Mr. Salbide’s characteristics and
virtues are concisely set forth in
the following tribute by Rev. Mr.
Martindale, delivered at the funer
al service:
On the casket that encloses the
bodily remains of one highly la-
loved, I would lay a last flower of
appreciation:
Of Spanish birth, American
adoption and of courtly manner,
of rather retiring disposition, yet
often called on by his fellow-citi
zens to serve in public places of
trust; unyielding in his stand for
what he conceived to be right; a
most tender and considerate and
, devoted husband and father, yea a
genuine lover in his home, and a
staunch friend and honored citizen
on the common.
He was raised a Catholic, but a
few years ago ( May 3,15)03) it was
our pleasure and privilege to wel
come him into the Presbyterian
Church of this place, for which he
, had long expressed a decided prel'-
troubled; ye believe in God, be
lieve also in Me ( His Son). In My
Father’s house are many mansions;
if it were not so I would have told
you. I go to prepare a place for
you. And if I go and prepare a
place for you, I will come again,
and receive you unto myself; that
where I am there ye may lie also,

love him shall meet him in the
sweet by-and-by, if they trust his

The Coweta Teachers’ Institute
met in annual session Monday
morning, June 19th, at the Public
School building. The session was
opened at nine o’clock with prayer
by Rev. V. A. Ham, the popular
Commissioner of Coweta County.

There he was not simply a learner j

thus knew him can testify. No
wonder then that among his frat-

he ranked high for worth of char-
acter, brightness of mind, ease of
manner, efficiency of work, and
love of the brethren. He was too
wise ever to accord Masonry a
place above the Church, rather did
he hold it as the handmaid and
offspring of true religion.
He recommended Christianity to
his fellow-men by his godly life

At 11 o’clock Rev. C. O’N. Mar

After singing “Rock, of Ages,” the
teachers were led in prayer by
Rev. Mr. Meacbein.
