Gus and painful injuries on Friday eve

Mr.. JOHN A. LODGE, aged about 20
years, Son of Abner and Sarah Lodge,
died on Easter morning the 9th inst.
from the effects of phtheria-and to
mary persons the news of his death was
mournful surprise as they had so late
ly seen him in the enjoyment of health.
The fatality of the disease was very
rapid and although noted by his rhysi-
clan ard perhaps others-the communi-
ty was not prepared to receive the pain
full tidings. Mr.. Lodge was young
man who had the regard of all who
knew him; his handsome face and pleas
ant manner won for him tie friendship
of his associates, and the Christian
training of honorable and consistent
protesting parents had won for him a
reputable position in community as a
young man of moral habits. His future
was full of promise and all join with
the bereaved ones in lamenting his un-
timely death. Rev. T. j. Milford con-
duced the services, and Mr.. b. R. john
son had charge of the funeral arrange
ments. Messrs. William Pugh, A
Nichols, F. Spencer, Lee Hays,
were pall-bearers A beautiful casket
inclosed the form of the departed, and
upon it was placed cross of evergreen
and white immortelles. Many people
congregated at the house to pay their
last tribute of respect, and large fu-
neral train accompanied on that sad
journey to the brink of the grave. There
they tarried while he passed on
@From the night side of the grave,
Unto the side of the morning,
Where the glory Celestial, shines on the
portal, - rte
blessed be God, for man is immortal"
A few nights since while Mr.. VIM. t.
Caldwell and family We're absent his
house was entered by the parlor win
dow and ransacked, hut as yet nothing
is found missing. Mr.. Caldwell hopes
to be dt home when the next call is
made. s M ii.
