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.

A short hiographieal sketch of his life was offered by Dr. Hussey and made a part of these proceed ings. The committee reported as fol lows ; Whereas it has pleased Un* great Physician to call from his earthly duties our deceased brother, Dr. Max J, Uorput, and he it Resolved, That we humbly how to this demand of an All Wise Providence whereby the profession has lost a worthy an eminent mem ber.

The excep tion in this instance is remarkable J in more than one respect. The youth, attainment and rare prom ise of abundant fruitage manifest ed by the short and rich experience j 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 dumb. ,?. W. Kcsskt.
