A Good Man Gone.
John B. Gordon Camp, No. 50,
U. C. V., of Murray county,
Spring Place, Ga., met in the
Court house, Sept. 3rd, 1909,
with commander B. W Gladden,
Presiding. First business taken
up by the Chaplain, W. R. Black
was the reading of the minutes
and all communications. The
picnic was laid over until the
nest meeting. The committee
on the death of comrade E. G.
Gladden made its report, and
the minutes were requested to
be published in The Murray
News. The Camp then adjourn¬
ed to meet again on the first

o’clock.

Resolutions ;
On May 26th, 1909. while it
was yet in early mottling, death
again broke our rank by claim¬
ing as a subject a well-known
and much beloved brother, and
comrade, E. G. Gladden.
Bro. Gladden had reached the
age of 62 years, having been born
Feb. 12, 1847.
He svub reared near Spring
Place, his parents having moved
to Murray county, from Cass
counly, (now' Bartow,) when he
was but six years old. The rest
of his life has been spent ii> this
county, save the time he spent
in her service during the civil
war.
While he was but a boy, there
cam 6 that awful struggle, in
which he enlisted as soon as he
was old enough, and fought
Irave y until the close.
He was enrolled in Company
A. 37th Ga., Regiment, while
Joseph E. Johnson was at Hai¬
ti t. After the war was over he
was no less a tried and true citi
z it, hr it took the greatest
Courage to face the “caipet bag¬
gers” and rebuild cur beloved
southland.
In 1868 Mr. Gladden was mar¬
ried to Miss Secelia Nelson, and
11 children has come to bless
their home, of whom eight, and
their mother, survive him.
As a husband, none were bet¬
ter, more self-sacrificing and
strong. As a father he was in¬
dulgent, loving and kind. Not
busied with outside cares, he was
ever found at home looking after
the domestic needs and cares.
However, he always found
time to visit and care tor the
sick. Perhaps, no man in our
county has stood over more sick
beds or help to dig nioie graves
than our helpful brother. » As a
citizen, he was faithful to his
civic duties, although he had lit-’
tie to say, he tried to vote .for
wiiat he thought was best.
J he Presbyterian church has;
lost a faithful member. He was
a Christian who said little, but
was ever at his post of duty.
Comrades, we have lost a
strong and noble brother, for no
more valiant veteran ever wore
the cross of honor of which he
was so justly proud.
The esteem in which this man
was ever held, w'as shown by the
great concourse of people who
lollowed his remains to their last
resting place, in Sumach ceme¬
tery, by the careful attention of
friendly neighbors during his
long illness, and by. floral con¬
tributions, and encouragements
to loved ones in the trying hour
of the last farewell, and there¬
fore, be it
Resolved, That while we
mourn the loss of (this) our be¬
loved comrade, we extend to the
bereaved family and relatives
our sincerest sympathy, and real¬
ize that
Dearest brother thou hath ieftus
Here thy loss so deeply grieves
iw,
But in the Heavenly mansion,
not a tomb,
Tbou art tenderly, anxiously
awaiting us to come.

Mr. Childs Writes
Letter.
Tilton, Ga., Aug. 2, ’09.
Dear Editor:
Will you allow me space in
your paper for a few lines to the
good citizens of Murray county.
I am a man of 61 years of age,
and was born and raised in Frank
1 in county, Georgia.
1 moved to this county six
years ago, and 1 want to tell the
people about tiie stock law, that
had two court elections, I went
to both, and voted for' “fence
said hard words about my fellow
tlml voted for 4 4 fence,”
, nan no
then they had a district election,
1 went also to this, and voted for
“fencestill said hard words
about them that voted ‘no fence’
and the “no fence” got it, and
after they did, 1 believe 1 like it
better.
Now. I am sorry that I said
what 1 did about my fellow-man.
Old Franklin was at time about
like Murray is now; land from
8 to 50 dollars an acre, and as
soon as they got the stock law
more men moved into the coun¬
ty, and land went up. If we
had the sto'ck law, more men
would move into Murray, and
that ie what she needs, for a man
like my-self ain’t much help to
a county.
I hope Bro. Thompson may get
his eyes open in due time, and
many others.
Well, Mr. Editor, you may
publish this-if you choose.
Yo»rs truly,
L. B. Guilds.
