OBITUARY

- LII ~ ~ III Il -
DEAN does mol come go often but that we may
have time to stop awhile 10 the midst Of life's
busy duties TO think offthose whose lives are
told, and ~ht,se gar h-histoty is completed; to
speak 0ftheir noble virtues and inscribe their
record as an example TO those who survive them.
Thus we thought and FELT when HARRY d.
COUGH was called from his busy life to 20 to
the TEST of weary ones whose pilgrimage ends in
the shadow of the grave. .i.lf
He WAS one Of the few Whose sterling worth
aud unfaltering integrity gained for him the
confidence of the Community in which be, lived,
and commanded the respect of those with whom
he differed most widely and whether as a sold
Ter in 1912, standing in the defence of Baltimore,
or vs. the hunored representative of his county in
the Legislature Of the State, or filling the vari-
Gus positions of honor and profit committed to
him, to him was accorded the proud distinction,
"1ieeis an honest man.
AS friend, he had no superior generous,
kind and true, his heart and hand and home
were ever open. Nor was his stinted hospital
ity. A gentlemau Of the olden Time be honored
bis guest, however poor, and from friend he
never turned away. He gave of his substance
gladly and was happlest when he made others
happy. Among the many, happy homes of Har-
ford county, his was q model home. To his
children, bereft of mother in early life be was
father, mother, companion and friend. He was
everything. Sympathizing In their sorrows, re-
lpiclnB III lnelr joys ne was necessity to them.
Ever holding, up to them the examples of the
true and good, he sought to make them love vir-
tue for virtues isake, and enforced these lessons
BY steady adherence to the cause of justice and
truth, AS Christian, be was modest, aud yet
to modesty he added the charm of undertaking
faith and cheerful confidence in the success Of
right. "A hearty despiser of hypocrisy, he was
honest IN the measurement of his own life, and
depended more upon the merit of his Saviour
than the merit of his faith or works. And the
end was coming. He had lived to good age
had born his burden through his day-and was
ioaing. Free from the responsibilities of official
duties, be went to- his bone 10 Harford-old

honored and beloved by all, be died, as die the
righteous full Of peace. To his children be has
left the inheritance OF good name to bis friends,
the recollections Of his true devotion; to those
who did2him wrong, q full forgiveness; to all
the memory o. d true man.

Death of VIM, Thns G.noh

We publish on the outside of our paper this
week the proceedings of the District Court
| Of Aurora, Nevada, in relation to the death Of
Mr.. Cough, by which it will be seen that he
was held in high esteem by the citizens of his
adopted State. ' p II
The proceedings which we take from
the Esmeralda (Nevada) Union, were had on
the 4th day Of jane last apdthe-aeath of Mr..
Gough, took place on the afternoon, of SUM-
tdaJ, AEay ebtA Hisdiseaselwas etySipelas in
the head. This disease is very common at
Aurora where he resided on account of the
varity Of the air, which is necessity from its
great altitude, being some eight thousand feet
above the level of the sea. In consequence of
the very precarious state of his fathers health
at'the time, his brothers in California, from
prudential reasons, kept back the news of tho
death of their brother until one or the other
could arrive here, from the Pacific coast,
which they designed doing some time in the
summer or early in the fall. In this, howev-
er, they were mistaken, as matters over which
they had no control prevented their arrival in
Baltimore until late in December The news
of the death of his son, at the time it occur
red, and in the delicate, state of health that
Mr.. Cough, was then in, would certainly have
been to him terrible shock, and one which
his frail condition could not have withstood |
1t is with feelings of no little regret that VIC !
record the death of this young man. He I
grew to manhood among us, was deservedly |
popular, and gave great promise of eminencc
in his profession, He was kind and gener-
GUS to fault, high-minded and honorable in |
all the relations of life, and as a consequence,
popular with his, associates and friends. We |
ourselves knew him intimately, and parted !
with him for the last time, on the sixth day Of !
July, eighteen hundred and fifty-four, in the -
city of New York. He was then on his way
to California, from whence he removed to
Aurora, where he fulfilled the early promise
of eminence in his profession. .s WI

Lumber and Coal.

| We perceive that Mr.. Robert Bounds is
making preparations to start an extensive
coal and lumber yard on the Baltimore and
Bel Air turnpike, on the southeastern border
of our town.. This, we think, is a good move
and one which cannot fail to to remuneratc
the enterprising gentleman who has under
taken the business An establishment Of this
sort has been long needed in this place, and
the only wonder,is, such a business was mott
icommenced years ago There is, perhaps, noJ
neighborhood in the county where more lrlm-
Der is used than there is in this vicinity
and when to this is added the large consump,
ton of coal, we cannot understand why the
two articles combined would not make very ,
profitable business. At any rate, the only
way to find out whether bushes is profitable
or not is to try it and we are glad that SO
energetic a person as Mr.. Bounds has under
taken the establishment of this important
branch Of business. ~. Ill
Since the above was put in type, Mr..
Bounds has handed us an advertisement,
which the reader will find in another column,
and to which we call especial attention. To
his other business he also adds roofing slate,
an item of merchandise which cannot fail to
be saleable in this vicinity, and the keeping of
which must prove avery great convenience
to the neighborhood Usauar rJ1g aai
while on the subject fnew enterprises, we
may refer TO the very extensive carrf4ge man
ufactory of MessIs. John and w! Finney Han
ma, established in this place about a year ago.
This establishment is one of the most extern
sive and prosperous manufactures of the
kind in the State. The shops are large and
finely arranged for the purposes Of their bust
ness, and carriages and other vehicles, of the
finest and most substantial character, are con-
stantly being turned out in large numbers
To those who are fond of examining fine and
substantial carriages, as well as fancy and
stylish vehicles it is worth visit to these
shops any fine day.

likely to enlist the sufficient care of the wri-

METHODIST PROTEST. FIR
The Methodist Protestant Fair, in Abingdon,
closed on Saturday, December 21st, having
been continued for four days. The ladies
certainly deserve great credit for the energy
and good taste displayed in making and ar
ranging the various articles displayed for
sale. On Friday night, a concert was given,
in connection with the Fair, which was led
by DIR. r. ]. Kerr, of Baltimore, assisted by a
number Of amateur singers: The singing was
excellent, and the large attendance present
seemed more than satisfied. The whole at
fair, indeed, we learn was perfect success,
both in a pecuniary point of view, and in
pleasure afforded the visitors. ,....
