Many loving hands |>erformed every office of

ing the funeral at the Christian church, of
which he was a member, bore testimony to the

Oct. 23, at 5 o'clock p. m., after a talk and
prayer by the writer, we lowered his silent
dust to its resting place in our beautiful village
of the dead, in the presence of a large and
sympathizing congregation. And when the
grave was filled, we turned away, leaving that
dust under the sleepless eye of God’s own
appointed vigils, till the voice of the “Lion of
the Tribe of Juda” shall bid it “live forever.”

OBITUARY.
Editor:
ly request, and of personal inclination, with
ir permission, we will say something touch-
the life, illness and death of our lamented
-oung friend, Eddie Devereux.
' The life suggested by that name was one of
pathos, and at its repetition a scene of suffer-
, ing passes before our vision. When only three
, years of age measles left him with an affliction
from which he was never to recover. At the
age of fourteen he suffered the incalculable loss
of his lower right limb, leaving him maimed
for life. But thus afflicted he was an^iou^
yea, heroic. He desired to be self-supporting
and when the fatal fever came upon hint he
was at Harrold, Tex^s, filling lhe office of
freight agent. He came from his post to die
in the bosom of his loved ones. Only a few
days after he reached home he told his mother
that be could not recover, that he should die.
After this, however, he became well enough
to go to his father’s office, but hom the office
he went to his lied from which he wm to sue
no more till friendly hands should place him
in his coffin. His sufferings were j^roTrncred
and great, but the writer, who was with hfln
much, never caught the slightest mqnpnr n^r
complaint. He suffered heroically indeed,and
endured beyond the expectation of (yen his
physicians. Dr. McDonald, with wpmanly
tenderness, waited around his bed, anti doubt-
less did all for his patient that human skill
could do; but the fatal archer had ma|tad him
for his own. With patience and unustiJr tt>m-
’ posure he lay under the chastening rod await- ,
ing thecal! to a better life.
At times during his illness his mforiL wan-
dered, but much of the time it was perfectly
Clear. He talked much of death and the pros-
pects ahead, and was sweetly resigned. He
said many things alxiut religion thnt should be
remembered. He begged a promise from all
that they would meet him agaifl. With the
earnestness of death and the tenderness of a
brother’/love he pleaded for a i romise .that
his older brother wou)d meet him in en.
God grant that /lyinp, request. He talked
touchingly to evmy member of lhe family, and
evinc'NHfor them the deepest cohcem. Shall
it be forgotten ’ He said to his mother,
“Some |£ople think that religion will do for
women, but when they come wi^erei am they
will see the importance of being good.” He
told his sister that he had wavered in his re-
ligious Hfe and besought her never to wander
frogs God. ’ •
On his last Sabbath bn earth he called bis
young friends srmind tyn and exhoited them,
prayed for them nd ^1
All eyes save hfoMrtr
- the writer entered the h
fore his death he called
it, but could not read, and handed it to a friend
saying, “You read for me.” When a few
verses were read he took the Bible, pressed it
to his bosom and exclaimed, “Oh! blessed
Bible, how sweet it is.” When the last
minutes came the writer sang and Eddie tuned
his voice and tried to sing, but his harp was
nearly unstrung. Just , before he left us he
made a great effort to talk, but, alas ! for us,

uty Sheriff Clem Galloway at Kildare
and ingeniously conveyed by him to
the Linden jail. In the face of 200
enraged citizens, the prisoner was
landed in jail by Depnty Galloway about
2 o’clock this morning.
These citizens not being satisfied
with the effort made to secure the mur-
derer, repaired to the jail.
After some persuasiqp’, Mrs. Lanier
gave them the kt vs, and in a few min-
utes Lee Green was on his way to his
funeral pile.
He was conveyed to the scene of
the murder and then, after J. H. Lowe
interviewed him for a short while, was
tied to a sweetgum sapling and burned
to death.
About 500 people witnessed the tor-
ture.
About forty negro men constructed
the funeral pyre, and it was lit by an

He made a full confession of the
crime, implicating others of his color .
