church, Was told yesterday of Colonel
Cockrell's sickness. well" he said ST

were redeemed by virtues ike those Of
Colonel Cockrel. L never came 20 Mem
phis, when Nj. C0csrsl kept a livery

horse, and when L went away to preach
among the churches I always Ound nv
horse we'll cared for, newly shod and my

made a family homeless fool. COckrsl re- 4

tender a home 20 the homeless. Within
