Joel Chandler Harris.
Joel Chandler Harris, had his first
taste of newspaper life on The Coun
tryman, a weekly newspaper publish
ed by Joseph Addison Turner, on his
plantation Y miles from Eatonton, Ga.
After leaving the plantation he was
engaged in newspaper work in Sa
vannah, Macon and New Orleans. He
practiced law at Forsyth, Ga., at the
same time doing some editorial work,
He joined the staff of the Atlanta
Constitution in 1876 and in that paper
“Uncle Remus” stories were first
published.
Uncle Remus was horn under Geor
gia skies, whose blue was reflected in
his genial, kindly and merry eyes. In
Eatonton, on December 9, 1848, he
first saw the light.
On the plantation of his first em
ployer, Joseph Turner, he received the
rudiments of education. In the well
seiected library of this prosperous
tarmer, to which he had unrestrained
access, he imbibed a knowledge of the
English classics. Hanging around the
cabins- of the negroes, listening to
them at their work in the cotton,
fields, and observing them in their
hours of recreation, he gained an in
sight into their character, and heard
the weird stories which had hitherfo
been handed down from generatlon:'tg,‘
generation of blacks by tradition, T
Uncle Remus was left the task of giv
ing them permanent form in English
literature. .
When the President and Mrs. Roose
velt visited Atlanta in the fall of 1906,
Uncle Remus was the object of their
special interest. President Roosevelt,
in his address said: “Presidents may
come and presidents may go, but
Uncle Remus stays put. Georgia has
done a great many things for the
union, but she has never deus more
than when she gave Joel Chandler
Harris to American literature, _/
Telegraphic messa, sjt co lencé,
personal calls and Sweet floral gifts
poured into hig hgfne in lafita, G¥
Strong men. Wl as t “f testified
their affectioh’ for the #Sage of Shady
Dale, whose QQ’i)artu into the eter
nal shadov:g they uld not realize.
Loving mothers g¢fied as they lookei
upon the pulselfss figure of the littl
man whose Brfe'r Rabbit and Bre
Fox and Bre'r B'ar had delighted
their little ones in the days of their
earliest childhood. The greatest gift
of “Uncle Remus” was the love of lit
tle children. He gave them laughtecfi“
and the gentlest amusements &f,
childhood, and now he has their great
er gift of tears. Sleep found him
trustful and placid, well-loved and
well-loving to the end. He wrote his
own peaceful epitaph when he said of
a comrade newly departed: “Having
made a friend of Life, we may be
sure he made a friend of Death.”
The last rites over the remains of
Joel Chandler Harris were conducted
Sunday, July 5, Psalms were said at
the residence and were immediately
followed by the funeral obsequies at
St. Anthony’'s Roman Catholic chapel..
Father Jackson officiated at the ser
vices., The interment was in West

MURAT HALSTEAD DEAD.
Was a Leader in American Journalism
. For Over Fifty Years. -
- Cincinnati, O,—Murat Hdlstead, one
of the leaders in American journal
ism for over half a century and widely
known as an editorial and magazine
writer, died at his home in this city
in his seventy-ninth year.
Mr, and Mrs, Halstead celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary a
{little more than a year ago, at which
time Mr. Halstead’s health seemed
frail, and as time passed he arew
weaker, so the news of his death was
not wholly unexpected. Albert Hal
stead, his son, is American consul at
Birmingham, England and other mem
bers of his family are scattered
throughout the country. {
‘Mr, Halstead was one of the great‘
editors of the last half of the nine
teenth century, and one of the strong-‘
est tributes to his incisiveness as %
writer was in 1889, when his nomina
tion by President Harrison to be}
American minister to Germany was
rejected by the United States senate |
because of articles he had published
charging corruption to some members
of that body. e ‘
He was a native of Butler county, |
Ohio, and after a short service on ai
literary weekly he, in 1854, became |
connected with The Cincinnati Com
mercial, in which he secured a small
interest a year later, becoming chief
owner in 1865. Nearly twenty years
later his paper was consolidated with
The Gazette and he was editor-in
chief of the combined newspaper un
til ten years afterwards, when another
consolidation was effected, new own
ers securing control. For a time he
was editor of The Brooklyn Standard-
Union, and during the last ten years
he has figured largely as a magazine
and special newspaper writer,
THAXK AMERICAN CHILDREN.
President. Fallieres Notified of Plac
ing of Monument, :
Paris, France—Alexander P. Revéll
and Robert J. Thompson, respectively
the acting president and treasurer of
the Lafayette Memorial association,
called at the Elysee palace and for
‘mally notified President Fallieres that
the bronze statue of Lafayette, the
gift of American school children to
France, had been placed upon its pe
‘destal in the Place de Louvre. The
ceremony consisted of little more
than an exchange of courtesies. Pres
ident Revell priefly sketched the his.
‘tox‘y of the movement to present
‘France with an enduring monument
of America’s gratitude to Lafayette.
} President Fallieres called attention
to the fact that as the president of
‘the senate, he was present at the
elaborate dedication of a plaster cast
of the statue in 1900. He especially
charged Messrs, Revell and ‘Thompson
on their return to the United States
to express France's thanks to the
school children who had )aa.x'ticlpated
in the memorial. The,4ifal payment,
over which there has been some mis
undersianding, has been made to
Sculptor Bartlett. On July 4, Mr.
‘Revell placed a wreath of flowers at
the base of the statue in the name
of ‘the American children.
