IN MpMO0IAM.

Died. at Hurricane Springs, Ten-
nessee, on Tuesday September 2Sth.
1885, JOHN GEORGE, a citizen of Gree
NADIA, Mississippi.
. And Grenada, when she laid him
away to rest, lost one of the truest
and most loyal supports which pillar
up her greatness and prosperity.
Plain, straightforward, noble-spirit-
ed, honest, honor-loving John George
is no more No pretence-no sham4-
but Gods infinite scorn for both !
From the time, long years ago, when
with the ruddy glow of youth upon
him, he came, from Fatherland,
~"blue-eved and strong, a Saxon"
amongst us, to the hour of his death,
he has been the embodiment-the i'm
PRESERVATION of the downright ear
nestness, the sturdy independence,
the fearless truthfulness of his Saxon
ancestry. Prominently he was a
MANLY man. Brave in the true
high sense-fearless in confronting
danger-gentle as wOman to children
to the weak-tn thedistrassed-with
strong convictions and the courage to
express them, self-respecting, yet ac-
cording to others the largest liberty of
opinion. Public spiritedin the highest
degree, no enterprise looking to the
advancement ofthe material interests
Of the COMMUNICATING which
promised its elevation, intellectual
ly, socially, morally, had a warmer
or %sineerer advocate. Open as the
day-generous beyond his duty
whenever the cry of distress reached
his ear-what son of the Fatherland
ever called in vain on him when sue
cor was needed? His was too fine a
spirit to forget that he had his birth,
far over the blue waters, where
sweep to the sea the"Arrowy Rhone'
and the stored Rhine -that the
stars looked from GERMANY's skies
upon the ashes of his ancestry!
Such was John George the man
the citizen-the patriot--what of
John George the friend? Those who
knew the ringing hearty laugh--who
had felt the warmth of the merry blue
eyes, and the ge~niality of his soul as
it beamed radiantly out in the camp
Observation-Disclosures the varied in
terplay of social life, can tell you how
much of music and Of light has gone
from their sky. Fidelity to his 0bli-
to his friends=these
were virtues that lit, with their ra-
dance, the pathway of his life; and
whose reflection will illumine his
memory long after he is gone:-as,
"Flo~ers, where
They once have breathed, a fragrance
leave behind;
And harmony will linger Oh the
wind;
And suns continue to light up the air
When set"
If such the preciousness Of his
memory as a friend, what must have
been the wealth of his affection when
poured unrestrainedly out for wife
and child, In the tenderness Of home
life. But into the sacred precincts
If private grief we may not intrude.
Out In the beautiful resting place,
lnder the quiet radiance of these soft
October stars, sleep, John
George! dreamlessly, unit. Dubbed on!
holds no manlier nobler form! |
and the spirits, ofjust men made
)%erfect' have meier admitted a soul.
liter than thine, for their compan-
onship!
Thou art gone, alas! like the many
That have bloomed in the summer of
my heart"
Yet, friend of mine, |
"Shy, not good night
But, in some brighter cline, will bid
thee,
Good.morning!"
