The ('hattanooga Evening News
pnblidies the following ahull bis
latest capers :
“In 18K3n prosperous voung mer
chant and shoe manufacturer of
(.'amjibull county, Ga., led to the
altar a charming young woman,
Miss Mary A, Winn, the daughter
of a large planter in the same coun
ty.’ The marriage was, agdnst the
'wishes of Colonel Winn, but learn-,
ing that a clandestine wedding was
proposed,‘to. nave tin* reputation of
his ' family lie agreed' to have the
ceremony performed at his lovely
Imme.
1 “Shortly after marriage of S. A.
I Wood and Miss Winn war wn.ua<
lon, and the young husband enlisted
in the armv as a private. Like
many others S. A. Wood lost his
money in the wnr v and so m after
wards Uegan tile trade of a qhoe
ygaker, as it wa» either work or
'Starve with him. Ib- worked hard
to support I.hi* voting wife he had
sworn to love and protect through
bid, il was indeed huniilaVing lo
th» woman on whom fortune had
smiled so Urighily before to realize
that she was the wife of a shoe
maker. But the same love that
promoted her to marry Air. Wood
mads her a cheerful and happy
wife. Slie forgot that she had
been wealthy, the pet of a planter’s
family; she forgot that she had
rich friends; she forgot that her
marriage had ostracised
her from her former asso
ciations; she forgot every tiling, ex
cept that she had married the man
she loved, and she could not do
much to make him happy aud con
tented.
“Year after year rolled by and
the family did not seem to prosper
from a financial stand point. The
mouths of new born babes and old
er children were to be fed, but by
working early and late the wolf
was kept from the door. At last
the family removed to Chattanoo
ga, and everything moved along
pleasantiv until a few months
whon a change took place.
Airs, Wood is about fifty years of
age and lias bqen in bad health for
many months past. This cummer
she, in company with three of her
daughters, went to the eoun
t;W to spend a few weeks.
While they were away Mr. Wood
became infatuated with another
woman, and on his family’s re
turn home it was discovered that
he had removed his clothing and
other personal effects to some other
jdace. He did not call to see bis
family after their return homo for
several days. On making bis ap
pearance Mrs. Wood informed her
husband tn.u iln* ianuiv was with
out anything to eat. He did not
see.it .-urprif-ed A! tht ire-nut ion,
o otherwise interested, lie asked
! for something for supper and was
! given a cup of coffee, till there was
in the bouse at Ihe time. After
i supper he left tiio house to find
leonFurt and lodging somewhere
else, and cliii not return for a few
hays. *
“It- was impossible to Lam ihe
name of the woman to whom be
! ml Daitsferred bis affections, but
il is supposed that it was it gay
widow i;t the Fifth waid. To
some of his friends who inquired
about his position he said; ‘I
never expect to live with my wife
again.;’ but < id not give any rea
son for his strange actions.
, ‘’Saturday he disappeared from
| Chattanooga,and it is reported that
: h • did not go alone, but the name
!<;f the woman could not be learned.

lis iit 2dt; Montgomery avenue, and
it was there that the News reporter
interviewed the deserted wife and
she told him the following story;
I “ ‘Tnure is nivself and rhree
duugli.ers here at home. We are
behind in our- rent and without
i sufficient food in tl»o house
to keep us a live. I am too
old to work, as my eyesight has
failed me, Mv two oldest-daugh
ters, Ollie and Sarah, are employed
iat Geismar’s pants factory; the
oldest one receives $3 for sewing
■ uud the other, Sarah, gets $2,50 a
week for assisting in the shop,
making our total income $5.50 a
week, or about $23 a month. N°ttie
can do nothing as she is nearly
I blind. Dtif house rent is $8 per
j moots. This only leaves the torn
I of us sls a month to live on and as
1 am sick; pearly all the time God
I alone knows how we are to exist.”
! The poop aid tvor<Oh, whose 1 sir is
whitened hv age, shook with the
gloomy eutlook before her. ‘lf
some one,” she said, *‘cow id give
my two daugh%-s, nho are able
npd willing to work, more lAiative
positions I would be happy. The
land lord will be after bis rent ‘o
day, and 1 can’t pay him because I
haven't got the money, I regret
that the world should know of my
destitute circumstances, but neces
sity compels me to forget the mor
tifying position 1 hold.’
“No one can hear Airs. Wood’s
story without feeling sorry for her
and she is sorely m need of assist
ance. Without it the family must
suffer. Some- charitably inclined
ladies of Chattanooga might possi
bly find work for the daughters,
who are respected, despite their
poverty by all who know them.”

On last Saturday *he physicians
of Dade county met in purant to a
call to take some action in regard
to our deceased brother, Dr. Max.
J. Corput.
Dr. T. J. Lumpkin was made

The chairman appointed as com

A short hiographieal sketch of
his life was offered by Dr. Hussey
and made a part of these proceed
ings.

Whereas it has pleased Un* great

in more than one respect. The

of our fallen brother make nis life |
notable beyond tin* average.
Maximiilian Joseph Van Den!
Corput was born in DcKalk c ntn
ty, Ala., December 10, I<S'»o.
His childhood was spent in that j
and Dade county. Ga.. where lie «*u
joved the usual advantages of the
schools of the county.
In 1881 he went to Macon, Ga.,
to engage in business with his un
cle, Felix Corput. After twelve
months he returned b> his father’s
uearßisingFawn wh* r ■ he spent his
time aiding his lather in attending;
mill and teaching school.
He embraced the idea of study
ing medicine and at the age of 21
years attended his first course of
lectures, graduating March 1,1885.
Till April 1887 lie was associated
with the undersigned in the prac
tice of 11is eh(>?cn profession. Be
ing prompted hv a desire to make
further progress and to acquire
means to accomplish that end he
engaged in the drug business at
Grdsden, Ala., for eighteen mouths
but not succeeding according to his
expectations ho returned to Dade,
locating at Trenton where he again
engaged i» practice.
The-result was that his faithful
attention to business and devotion
to his calling was quickly appre
ciated by those who were fortunate
enough to secure his services aud
ho was rapidly rising to the front
rank as a physician and surgeon.
Having known Max from the
time he first began his professional
career I can truthfully say, com-
pill-ini' him with h large circle of
proiV-'iouai HcrpiuiutaneeiS that in
i all respect)) 1 have never know n
'his equal.
In <x" mi nation and inve •ti •
■ lion, thorough and far reaching in
diagnosis exact. In treatment,
calm, deliberate, firm and progres
sive. His manner in the sick room
was liU a sunbeam through a rift
• f eloud. His cool, clear, sympa
thetic method was like inspiration.
With a retiring disposition,almost
like the timidity of a voting me
den. he combined a frankness and
candor of knowing and fully un
derstanding his labor.
I While he was retiring almost to
j bashfulness it was but the natural
expression of inato delicacy and
refinement. His natural manner
under ordinary circumstance* com
pared with that when engaged in
a professional duty might be exem
plified by Dr. Jelks and Mr. Hy 4».
When occasion required the nat- "
mal man was absorbed in fhwrifiJU
ful physician. To hia patient*he
was kind, patient and sympathetic
ic. To his ptofeesionul friend*
kindly, affable and courteous. To
the suffering always kindly and
ready to render aid.
Frank and candid himself he
was ever ready to meet upon a com
mon level everything that berpotoft
.» kindred feeling, but ot thing* of
doubtful veracity, deceptions and
.-hams his contempt was wither
ing.
To sum up all the varied losses
sustained by Max's death would be
to name every state aud condition,
of life.
Words are too feeble to. express.
' all that must be said to do jjuatiew
to ihe inotuorv of so excel hen t a
y >uug man. The hearts of fhoso
who knew and loved him aae-atn.f
'o feel his demise when lajrs are
