A Very Complimentary Notice
of the Noted Divine.
CALLED TO CINCINNATI, 0.
The Daily Inquirer Gives a Sketch of the
Life of Their Hew Pastor for the
Fifth Presbyterian.
After a thorough canvass of sev
eral weeks and careful deliberation
on a number of prominent candi
ates the Fifth Presbyterian church
of this city, has called to its
pulpit Rev. James Wood Pogue, of
Lawrenceville, Ga. Formal an
nouncement of his selection was
made at the prayer meeting service
last evening.
Mr. Pogue is not an entire stran
ger to Cincinnati people, being
a member of one of the oldest and
most exclusive families of the
city. He is a son of Henry E. and
Frauces A. Poeue, and a brother
of Messrs. Pogue & Pogue, the
well-known lawyers. He was
born in Maysville, Ky., was edu
cated in the public schools of that
city and at Lane Seminary, where
he graduated with honors
in 1887. Licensed in the
same year he was located at Nash
ville for a period, and for six
years following filled prominent
pulpits in Atlanta, Ga. He was
then successively at Tallapoosa
and Lawrenceville. In all of these
places he has been remarkably
successful, and has gained an en
viable reputation as an aggressive
and faithful pastor and a pulpit
orator of more than ordinary abil
ity. Some of his chief character
istics are independence of thought
in his pulpit utterances and of
action and methods iu pastoral
work, coupled with an untiring
energy and a penchant for work
that puts enthusiasm and fire into
the members of his flock.
The call to the Fifth church here
transfers him fromthePresbyterian
church south to the northern
brauch for the first time in his
pastorate. Rev. Pogue has a
wife and two lovely chidren, his
wife having been a Miss Ellis,
daughter of one ofAtlanta’s oldest
families.
In accepting the call Rev. Pogue
was not able to fix the exact time
of his arrival, but prepara
tions are in hand to give him a
cordial greeting when he so an
nounces.
From the Tallapoosa Journal.
Rev. James Wood Pogue, of
Lawrenceville, Ga., who wae pastor
of the Presbyterian church of this
city for six years, has received a
call to the pastorate of the Central
Presbyterian church of Cincinnati.
A meeting of the Atlanta presby
tery has been called to convene in
Dr. Rice’s church, Atlanta, next
Monday to dissolve Mr. Pogue’s
relations with this presbytery, and
transfer him to the Cincinnati
presbytery. His many friends in
this city will regret his departure,
but Georgia’s loss will be Cincin
nati’s gain. The Central church
of Cincinnati is a large, influential
wealthy, working church, and
with as scholarly, wideawake, up
to-date, progressive a man as Mr.
Pogue as their pastor and leader,
we bespeak for them a standing
second to none in the state.
LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28. 1901.
SENSATIONAL SERMON.
Rs». J. S. Pogue Toadies Op a Few of
tbe Existing Evils.
Rev. J. W. Pogue filled his regu
lar appointment at the Presbyteri
an church Sunday and gave his
congregation two good sermons.
That morning he preached on Dan
iel in the lions’ den and showed
how God took care of his servant
when all were against him. From
this one act of loyalty to faith on
the part of one man, said the min
! ister, Israel had an example set
her that caused the Jews to ever
afterward worship the one true
and living God.
Sunday evening Mr.Griner call
ed in his appointment at the Meth
j odist church and both congrega
tions worshiped at the Presbyteri
an church. Mr. Pogue sprung a
sensation by handling the evil in
j our town. He took for his text
Amos 6:1: “Woe to them that
are at ease iu Zion.” He address
ed his remarks principally to the
professing Christians, and said if
there ever was a time when the
people of Zion could rest at ease
this was not the time. Liquor
selling and drinking was touched
i up and the preacher warned the
parents of Lawrenceville against
the snare that is catching many
of the boys and young men of our
town. Some instances of the evil
effects were cited to show that he
had a knowledge of what he was
talking about.
Mr. Pogue said cigarettes were
also playing havoc with some of
the boys and the habit had gotten
so bad with a few of them that it
had almost destroyed their sense
of honor.
j The preacher mentioned the
cause of Fred Maughon’s death
and said he had rather have a mill
-1 stone tied about his neck and cast
| into the depth of the sea than to
i have been the man who furnished
|
him the liquid fire he drank before
( the accident took place.
The slim attendance at prayer
meetings on Wednesday and
Thursday nights were contrasted
with the crowds that loafed around
the hotel and he could not see the
attraction at the hostelry.
On the whole tbe sermon might
be characterized as seusational,
! though it was not delivered with
that end in view. It has set the
I people to thinking and roused
( them to a sense of their duty and
responsibility.
Scalded to Death.
Another heartrending accident
occurred near Trip Tuesday when
the little child of C, M. Moon fell
into a pot of boiling water. It
appears that Mrs. Moon had
brought a large pot into the house
and filled it with water preparato
ry to boiling clothes. The water
was boiling when her little child
about a year old fell head fore
most into the water. Death fol
lowed in a few moments.

DEATH RELIEVED HIM.
Frtd Maagbon Eipirtd List Ttmrsdaj
Right at 9 O’clock.
Fred Manghon, the victim of
last Wednesday’s accident, had his
suffering relieved by death last
Thursday night at 9 o’clock, after
lingering about a day and a half
in the most excruciating agony.
It will be remembered that he
*
fell into a vat of boiling water
while cleaning some hogs and was
terribly scalded from head to foot,
Ho remained in the kettle for sev
eral minutes before being pulled
out, and his flesh was literally
cooked. The doctors could do but
little to relieve his sufferings,
though they did all they could and
dressed his burns several times,
Mr. Bud Maughon, Fred’s fath
er, has one hand missing and a
large family of girl children, and
his son was one of the principal
supports of the family. A petition
has been circulated asking for help
and the people have liberally re
sponded to the appeal.
The family desire to return
thanks to those who have assisted
them, and especially to Drs. Bush,
Mitchell and Johnson for their
faithful attendance upon Fred du
ring his brief illness.
( While his suffering was great,
j the young man was not uncon
scious, and recognized friends as
they would gather about his bed
side. Before he died he sang sev
eral religious hymns.
The funeral services took place
Friday morning from the resi
dence, ReV. G. W. Grinor officia
ting, and the remains were carried
to Appalachee church, near Au
burn, for interrment.
This is one of the saddest cases
we were ever called upon to chron
icle, and we express deep sympa
thy for the family in their sore be
reavement.

Pour Inches of Snow.
Those who predicted that the
winter would pass without auy
snow found their predictions ex
ploded on rising Saturday morn
ing.
Early Friday night a few flake*
of snow were flying through the
air, but it all melted as fast as it
hit the ground. Saturday morn
ing before day it began snowing
again and continued to fall up to
about 11 o’clock, when the earth
was covered with a beautiful man
tle ot white about four inches
deep,
It did not stay with us long,
however, for the sun shone out in
the afternoon and about half of it
meltod the first day. A few drift*
remained for several days and the
boys snow balled faster and more
vigorously when they saw the ar
ticle getting scarce
John Oakes was the only one
who had the courage to run out a
sleigh and he run more on the
ground than he did on the snow.
Its melting so rapidly saved the
rabbits and but few cotton tails
met their fate on account of the
snow, which generally plays such
havoc with the little animals.
The snow helped the grain crop
and it is estimated that the down
fall has been of great benefit to
the farmers.
ODE TO LA GRIPPE.
WRITTEN FOR THE N KWrt-II KBa.l.l>.
Oh, the aching, quaking, shaking of the grip'.
Oh, the sneezing, wheezing,freezing of the grip!
All the ills of all creation.
All the ailings of the nation
Can’t compete In aggravation
To the moaning and the groaning of the grip.
To the pills and bills atoning for the grip,
To the potions, lotions, notions of the grip.
Oh. the chills!
How your organism thrills
With the frozen, frigid ills—
What a horror It Instills—
Such a goneness ’bout the gills—
Such a chattering that«wervu*
All your shattering, clattering nerves.
Such a racking, hacking, cracking all your vi
tuls nearly kills;
Then the heat—
Blood on Ore from head to feet—
Shiver—fever—fever—shiver—
Bolling like a ructious river
Now want more and now less kiver;
And the aches!
Nigh an acre full o’ aches,
Every bone
Seems a bunch of ache alone,
twinged and twisted ache
alone.
