the happiness and gladness of
the merry yuletide. While us-

embrace of winter's cold and
dreary rain, sleet, and snow,
our Christmas thin year, sj far
as the days were concerned,
was bright and sunny. But the
mocking-bird did not greet the
morning with his song, and life
and love seemed cold and dead,
and things apart. . One not
knowing the bitter loss our peo
pie were suffering must have
wondered at the lack of the
usual holiday spirit. One not
knowing that the happiest, sun-
niest, and most cheerful soul
amongst us had flitted av.-ty
on the earliest rays of the

There are many things I
should like to say about this
kind and gentle man who was
my friend. There are no
sweeter, dearer words that I
could say for any man that I
would not say lor him. That
he loved his church was an-
swered by a life of devotion.
That he stood for every reform
in school and state was answer-
ed by a life of service. That
he placed true friendship above
wealth and riches of the world,
was answered by humble
friends at his bier. That he
loved dear old Winnsboro was
answered by the fact that all
tin golden years of his strong
vigorous manhood were
apebt for us. But why say
more, when no words of ton-
gue pen can assuage the
