MRS. EBERHART’S FUNERAL.
*•
It has been said that "a man who
dresses well and has plenty of money
will be lionized insochty, while be who
is meritorious but poor will be cast
aside."
1 do not give my concurrence to the
assertion in its fullest sense; I believe
a great many of our qneens of society
in Georgia lmd rather receive tbfc atteu-
ious of a well-dressed, wealthy orack-
irained fellow than an honest, toiling,
energetic, intellectual, Christian man.
But ou the other hand, 1 know that
there be many who welcome to their
homes the men who carry upon their
features the stamp of character and wear
tori ig show he may make among th. in tbe j r j, eaTtg the story of the Cross,
M>nj and daughte rs of men, then, in- though they be rich or poor*
deed, Inis his life bieri a failure.
If In timl h million dollar* to invest
in u suit of clothes, the first thing he
wrouiil do would be to sit down on the
ground and rum them or eurl himself
up it. the sunshine and christen them
with a thousand wrinkles.
So lhat leaves him out of the question
under consideration and brings down
the observation to cutside parties.
I do-not desire to pose as one who is
adverse to nttt and comfortable clothes.
I honor the Man who is neat in his ap
pearance, who wears good clothes,^who
hears himself well. . .
* w *
is nothing dishonorable in
re&tong goqd clothes. They go well
will? most men. But under the sen
tence first quoted in this article, do we
all make the clothes lit the purse? I
think not.
The bane of the young man’s exis
tence is going head over heels in debt
for rich and gaudy clothes when he is
notable to pay for them.
I do not mean to tay that men sho.uld
never buy clothes on a credit. That is
all right and they intend to pay for
them aud keep within the limit of their
means. When they go outside of that,
they tie a millstone about their necks
that will as surelv sink them as the days
go by.Debt,horrible monster,will haunt
their slumbers. They will find his
grinning face at every street corner
and hear his voice on every breeze that
blows.
And after it all it comes down to the
character of the man and not his clothes.
Fashion may dictate and he may nut be
able to obey. In the ball room or the
theatre you will not find him, with his
swallow tail coat and his one barreled
eye glass; but perhaps away off from
the maddening crowd, you’ll fiud him
at prayer, relieving the sick or happily
proceeding abou; his daily work Gray
never wrote a true poem than bis im
mortal "Elegy.”
The situation is best expressed in the
words of Robert Burns.
•‘What tho’ on hamely tare we dine,
if ear liodUln gray, ana *• that;
tile fools tlieir silks and knaves t^elf wine;
A man’s * mau tor a* that.
For u’ that anda’ that,
1 heir tinsel show sag a* that;
An honest man tho’ e’ar sae poor.
Is king o’ men tor a’that.”
Took Place at Oconee Street Church
■Yesterday Morning.
Yesterday morning at 9 o’clock, a
large number of the relatives and
friends of Mr. and Mrs. 8 F Ebcrhart,
assembled at Oconee Street churbh, to
pay the. last tribute to Mrs. Kberhart.
Rev. J. S Bryan preached a most ex
cellent sermon, founding his remark
upon the words "Precious in the sight
of the Lord is the death of his ssints."
While the sermon was a very Instruc
tive,one, many of the consoling features
of the Gospel were clearly and felici
tously presented. The music was very
sweet and tender.
After the services at the church, a
large concnuise of friends followed the
remains to Oconee cemetery, where the
last sad rites were _ performed, and
mother in Israel was left to‘
ful repose.
The Lucy Cobtr Institute will open its
Commencement next Friday evening

ir^erost and enjoyment.

nished choir tickets which will insure
them seats. The choir will be led by

as possible, before Tuesday None wiii
