as the war songs were applauded to the
echo. The calling of the names of the

evening, at about balf past seven o'clock,
Z. E. McMillen closed his eyes forever
on this life, after almost a months suf-
fering from typhoid fever. aged 25 years
and few months.
| Rutus was kind, genial and pleasant
young gentleman, quiet and unobtrusive,
and liked by all who knew him, for his
heart was in the right place" The better
he was known, the more an acquaintance
wished to call him q friend. Sociable,
when drawn out, agreeable and gentle
manly, he was one of those rare young
men whose places in society or comma
| nifty are hard to ill, when death calls
them over to join the silent majority.
Though young. Rufus had had consid>
erable experience in life. having adopted
for his profession that of his father
civil engineering and surveying, and
was engaged for . time on the W. & L.
Z. railroad, in the capacity of surveyor.
but had to resign on account of his
health. AS mark or his capability in
this line, the complete school district
map of this township, in the clerks Of
fee. will testify to the completeness and
thorougbness of bis work. His name
was mentioned in connection with the
county surveyors Office, at the last Re
publican convention.
He was an interesting, correct and
fluent writer, and after being correspon>
dent for some time, and reporting some
notable court cases for the Bellaire Tri-
bune, in August last he was engaged as
city editor of that paper, which position
he filed creditably and acceptably uRtil
January 9th, when he came back to his
fathers home. stricken with the disease
which caused his death.
Rufus was never robust, and had not
the constitution to wrestle with a severe
attack Of typhoid fever. and although his
death was anticipated. it fell upon his
friends with crushing force and sud
denness-and they have our heartfelt
sympathy in their bereavement. We
were glad to number the deceased among
our friends. and we sorrow with those
who weep over his new made grave.
The funeral occurred at l o'clock on
Saturday; Rev. j. r. Hissom Oficiatsd

on the life and character of his dead
young friend. as did also Rev. j. e.
Moore. The remains were followed to

Obituary.

RUFUs E. McMILLES was born December s
1860; died Feb 4, 1886 Twenty-Five years o.
earthly joys and sorrows; then the short, tire
some conflict with disease-the grave and i'm.
mortality.
We ba6e him sad, fearful farewell, indeed, a:
we lost sight of him in the darksome tomb; but
we write not above its portal the heart-chill-
ing intidel belief, death an eternal sleep
But we say goodbye for the night; we will
meet you in the morning-the Gospels great
morning of nightless, sleepless, and eternal
day.
From very early life he had been member
of the NJ E. church, and died resting for
salvation upon the Divine Redeemer, triumph
ing by faith over sin and death.
He was young man of good social qualities,
generous impulses, more than ordinary intellec-
tual force, and of decided literary tendencies.
He had just entered upon life of literary
pursuits as a member of the editorial staff Of
the Bellaire Tribune, when that dread destroyer,
typhoid fever, laid its iron grasp upon him and
hurried him away from the labors of earth.
The unfolding buds have been nipped by the
untimely frost, and we must wait for eternity
to fully develop the promises of time. N.
