IN MEMORIAM.
Mrs. Mary Euphemia Harris, re-
lect of Judge Iverson L. Harris,
died at her home in Milledgeville,
Ga., the morning of the sixth of
Feburary,1891. She was the daugh
ter of Judge William Davies and of
Mary Ann Baillie. Judge Davies,
for a number of years, occupied the
bench of the Superior Court of the
Eastern Circuit, which then ns now
embraced Chatham county, his
p'ace of residence. The mother of
Mj-s. Harris was a d’aughter of Rob
ert * Baillie and A'nn McIntosh.
The last named, was the only-
daughter of John Moore McIntosh,
who had four sons, Generals Lneli-
lin and John, Colonels William and
George; who were conspicuous in
the Revolution of 1775, and in the
War of 1812. Roderick and Cap
tain William McIntosh, were cous
ins to the others of this name. And
Captain William was the father by
a Creek Indian'girl, of the celebra
ted half breed Creek Chief, Gen'l.
William McIntosh, who was killed
by his tribe, for the cession of land
to the government in 1825. The
family all came to Georgia with Ogle
thorpe, in 1788, and have been prom
inent in t he history of colony & state.
Mrs. Harris was born in Savannah,
Ga., on the 29th of September, 1807.
She attended the schools of her na
tive city, and finished her educa
tion at a boarding school in the
City of New York. On her return
from school, being about 18 years
of age, she came to Milledgeville to
visit her eldest sister, then the wife
of Dr. Charles Paine. During the
visit she met Iverson L. Harris,
lately a graduate of Franklin Col
lege at Athens, Ga., and a young
Attorney at Law and married him
on the 27th of October, 1828. The
fruits of the marriage were twelve
children, only one, Berrien, died as
a child; and the others reached ma
tured years, before death again in -
vaded this large and happy family.
This mother saw buried from her
home, Clara, Frances; (Mrs. R.
L. Hunter) Henry, Richard, Ge.orge
and Florence, (Mrs. C. H. Andrews,)
and in the order named above.
Fiv\? of her children survive her,
viz., Williaiii A. Harris of Worth
County, Ga., Judge Charles J. Har
ris of Macon, Ga; Iverson L. Har
ris, M, J)., Sarah 1)., (the wife of
Win. H. Hall, M. D.) and Rebecca
A. The three last, are residents of
Milledgeville, and the last named
was the constant companion and
affectionate nurse of this sainted
mother in her leclining years. Five
of her sons were in the confederate
army, two of whom rose to the rank
of Lt. Colonel, one ranked as Cap
tain, another was a surgeon of emi
nent ability in the Army of North
ern Virginia, and the two yoiyigest
were couriers with sonje generals
in the field. She was personally ac
tive and zealous in the making and
sending of clothing to the Georgia
soldiers during the war. Her con
sort Judge Harris, died on the 12th
of March, 1878. Besides these five
sons and daughters mentioned
above as still living, there are, 86
grand children and 15 great-grand
children, who remember her devo
tion and lament her death. She
was the confidant, and ^he wise
counsellor of her children. In joy
or in sorrow, each child went to the
mother, having faith in her wisdom
and being sure of her tenderness
and sympathy. Almost as a child
she became a member of the Pres
byterian Church, in Savannah, Ga.
After her marriage, she changed
her membership to the same church
in Milledgeville. It was Mary, who
sat at the feet of Jesus receivipg
his words of Wisdom. Though
mountain like troubles often rested
upon the heart of our loved one,
simple Was her faith, so confident
was her trust, so unselfish was her
devotion to her God, that it ever
j appeared to the writer that this
i Mary was ever at the feet of Jesus,
j being strengthened by his presence
; and made wise by his word. We re
member her many acts of kindness
to the sick, the afflicted, and the
poor, throughout her long life. And
it is comforting to think that every
good deed, and kind word, has been
treasured up, and is clustered in the
crown of glory, given her beyond
the river of death, and will shine in
beauty and splendor forever.
‘‘Call not back the dear departed.
Anchored safe *nere storms are o’er,
On the border land we'left her.
Soon to meet and part no more.
Dearest one we have laid thee.
In the peaceful grave's ewbrace.
But thy memory will be c Arished,
TUI we see thy heavenly face."
ON THE CAMPUS.
A List of College Items for the Past
Week.
Sergeant Hines is one of the best
drilled and and most popular cadets
in the corps.
The latest addition to the corps
is a cadet from Fort Valley; Evans
by name.
Ex-Cadet W. A. McKay nlade his
many friends at the college a pleas
ant call one day last week.
The Alpha Zeta society, in a de
bate held Thursday afternoon, de
cided that “Fire is more destructive
to man than is whiskey.”
Who of the Recorder's readers
can tell n cadet who was the author
of the expression, “Eternal vigi
lance is the price of liberty?” In
which of the author's works is it
to be found?
A certain young lady in Junior
complains to your correspondent
that her class is never noticed in
the college items. The neglect will
he pardoned, I am sure, when I ex
press the sentiment of the entire
corps; that never before was there
gathered into one body such a daz
zling array of beauty as dier class
presents.
Friday evening last an enthusi
astic and appreciative audience
greeted Prof. J. T. Derry at, the
College chapel to hear his lecture
which was illustrated by magni
ficent luminous projections. Many
of the Professors views of the life
of the Confederate soilders in camp
and on the march were highly
amusing, whilst ltis battle views
were thrilling in the extreme. The
entertainment was even more than
a success.
Since tlie last issue of the UNION-
Recorder, officers in tlie cadet
corps have 'been appointed and
promoted. Here is a coiunlete list
fthe officers of the Battalion:
I. Newell, Capt. Company A.
J. M. Richarson, Capt. Company B.
L. M. Lamar. First Lieut. Co. A.
,1. H. Ennis, First Lieut, Co. B.
0. F. Barrett, Second Lieut. Co. A.
T. Conn, Second Lieut. Co. B.
R. C. Humber, Jr., Adjutant
O. H. Lufburrow, Sergeant Major.
T E McCullough, First Sergt. Co. A.
H. G. Atwood, ’First Sergt. Co. B.
E. R Hines, Second Sergt. Co. A.
E. A. Russell, Second Sergt. Co. B.
T. Ii. Lamar, Third Sergt. Co. A.
J. J Moore, Third Sergt. Co. B.
II. F. .Tones, First Oorp. Co. A.
J. P. Fuller, First Oorp. Co. B.
F. M. Spence. Second Oorp. Co. A.
T. F. Newell Jr. Second Oorp Co. B.
In making the above appoint
ments, the Faculty were guided by
the rule that is recognized bv all
military institutions of high order;
namely, in general, the commission
ed officers are selected from the
Senior class, sergeants from Junior*
and corporals from Sophomore. But
n all cases appointments are made
from those most distinguished for
scholastic attainments, general good
conduct, and soldier-like deport
ment.
When Baby *m alck, we gave her Caatoria,
When ihe wee a Child, ahe cried for Castoria,
When ihe became Min, ibe clung to Castoria,
Whe* she hod Children, she gave them Castoria,
It is a noticeable fact, in respect
to books, that many students con
fine themselves strictly to their text
books, scarcely if ever taking up
any collateral reading. “Air dis
tinguished men,” says orf eminent
writer upon this subject, “have
been given to the habit of constant
reading; and it is utterly impossible
to arrive at any tolerable degree of
of distinction without this habit.”
Bacon, the philosopher, once said,
"Reading maketh a full man; con
versation a ready man; writing an
exact man.” What Bacon meant
by “full” can never be attained ex
cept by ari extensive and thorough
acquaintance with books. No gen
ius, no power of inventing and
creating thought, can ever supply
a deficiency in this respect. We
want to haVe the mind continual
ly expanding, and creating new
thought, or at least, feeding itself
upon thought of a manlv charac
ter. L. M. L.
IN MEMORIAM.
R AMS AY.—The commilteo on the
death ot Brother E. C. Ramsay pre
sent the following report:
Elbert Clec.horn Ramsay was born in
Augusia, Richmond county, on March 6th,
1833, and died at his home in Midway, Dec.
23rd, 1890. The major part of his life was
spent among us. We knew him as a friend
and brother, and to know him was to love
him. Upon attaining his majority he tried
his fortune for a while; first in New York
City and afterwards in New Orleans. Not
liking fife in these great cities, he returned to
his native Stale and settled in I.aGrange. At
the latter place in 1864, he made a profession
of faith in Christ and united with tne Baptist
Church at LaGrange.
In 1867 he with his wife removed to their
Midw ay home where he lived until lie was
called to his reward.
As a man he was possessed of a warm,
generous spiritaand our community loses in
him one of her wisest amPbest citizens.
. As a friend, he was true and tried, of a ten
der, sympathetic nature, always lending a
helping hand to the needy, and never har
boring ill will against an enemy..
A s a husband, he was kind and thought
ful, governing his household in the fear of
God and ior ihe hightest happiness of all.
As a Christian, for him “to live was Christ
and to die was gain." Consecrated to the
service of Tits Master, he loved the service
of God’s house and generously supported
Ilis cause.
His life was pure and dev >ut; his opinions
modestly expressed, but firmly adhered to.
He was always bent mure on helping others
than himself, lie “jured to brighter worlds
and led the way ”
Be it therefore, Resolved:
1st. That this paper be spread upon a
special page of our minutes.
2nd. That a copy be given to the wife of
our Brother, and another be sent to the
Christian Index and our city papers lor pub
lication.
