Losing money every day by not priceing at Wilson's cash stoie. 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 and the exercises promise to be of great ir^erost and enjoyment.
