In Memoriam.

Miss Georgia Anglin was born in
this city May 4, 1850, and died April
8, 1886. The funeral services were
held on April 5, attended by large
company of sympathetic and mourn
ing friends, who thus testified to the
high esteem and affection they cher
ished for the departed. AS the sun
was fast running his western course,
loving hands tenderly laid away in
our beautiful cemetery the precious
casket Of the priceless soul in the
faith and the hope of the resurrection.
The life of the departed was not
an ordinary one. Highly educated
and gifted, with cultured mind and
taste, and heart that loved the good,
the pure, the beautiful, she found
great delight in music and painting
and poetry-studies that are always
refining, and that lift those who love
them out of and above all things that
are purely earthly and carnal. She
lived largely in charmed world, in
familiar communication with the
best and greatest minds of the
worlds literature. In her intercourse
with her friends she was noted for
her exceeding carefulness in no way
to offend or wound or do wrong and
all these rare qualities of mind and
heart won for her the truest esteem
and deepest affection of those who
knew her.
Always a close student of the BIZ
BILE, she made profession of religion
during her college life, and during
her last years of sickness and suffer.
ing bore the long trial of pain and
WEAKNESS with unmurmuring pa.
thence and with great courage. She
leaves behind her bereaved family
who greatly loved her and greatly
sorrow for their loss; and in their
sorrow large circle of sympathetic
friends grieve with them. Yet may
we believe that "God doeth all things
we'll" "The Lord gave, and the Lord
hath taken away; blessed be the
name of the Lord"
There Is a calm for those who weep,
rest for weary pilgrims found
They softly lie, and sweetly sleep,
Low in the ground.
The storm that racks the wintry sky
No more disturbs their deep repose
Than summer evenings latest sigh,
That shuts the rose.

Father Abram J. Ryan, the "Poct
Priest" and perhaps the best-known
Catholic divine in the South, passed
quietly away Thursday night at the
Home of the Franciscan Brothers,
next door to the st. Boniface Church
in Louisville. He died at 8 :G7 o'clock.
His death has been feared for some
days, and in his last moments he was
surrounded by number Of friends.
When death called him away he
was engaged upon a life Of Christ,
which it was his intention TO finish
on returning home from this city.
He was well-known lecturer, and
perhaps no poet was better known to
the masses in the South. His short
poems had become household words,
and found an echo in almost every
breast.
The deceased was man of large
physique and in late years wore his
hair in long strands over his should
ers. He was born at Norfolk, Va, in
1910, and was therefore forty-six
years old. He was educated for the
priesthood and, at the breaking out q
the war, cast his lot with the Con.
federate side. After the war he To-
Gated at Nashville, afterwards al
Clarksville and then moved to Biloxi,
Miss, where he has been located ever
since. At this place he became init.
mate with Jefferson Davis. In 1916
he went to Mobile and made big
sensation by his preaching, which
was discourse in poetry. lie after.

We deem it hardly necessary to
burden your columns with ponderous
periods on the arrival Of spring, for
your sanctum is doubtless subject to
the same variations of temperature
that affect the habitations Ofothermen.
Judging from recent articles ON this
subject, one would think that an edi-
tor is confined in an unknown dun
geon whose temperature is always
kept at zero by kind of perpetual
refrigerator. All feel vague sense
of enjoyment at the coming of sprlng,
but it is permitted to only few TO
express this feeling in artistic Ian
guage. Even some of these gifted
favorites Of nature give premature
vent to their buoyant spirits. The
bursting of Il lilac bud, or .perchance,
the appearance of spray of broom
sedge, has called forth flow of lam
guage 80 beautiful and a succession
Of metaphors so violent that we fear
these incautious writers will be
thrown into mental spasms when
vegetation appears at the height of its
beauty.
