JUSTICE LAMAR DEAD
THE DISTINGUISHED SoUTHERNER
DIES AT MACON.

After Serving In the Confederate Army He
Was Elected to Both Houses of Con-
gress, Made Member of Mr.. Cleveland's
Cabinet and by Him Appointed Justice.
MACON, Jan. 25.-The funeral of Justice
Lamar will take place Friday afternoon.
The body of the late justice will lie in state
at the residence of w H. Virgin at Vine
vile up to noon on Friday, at which time
the cortege will leave the house for the
Mulberry Street Methodist church, under
escort of the pallbearers, representing the
bar of Macon, the state of Georgia and the
supreme bench. The body lies in front
parlor, where the numerous handsome
floral decorations that have already been
sent in are massed. The face presents
calm look, death having made but little
change. Telegrams of coincidence came in
from all parts of the United States All
places of business will be closed during the
hours of the funeral. The regret of all
classes of citizens and the general grief of
those who were more intimately acquaint-
ed with the life and customs of the man are
sincere. The prominent people of the city
called at the house in large numbers.
His Early Life.
Like Justice Lamar's personality, his
public career was remarkable. He comes
of one of the Oldest families in Georgia. He
was born in Putnam county in 1926, and
after his fathers death was taken to Ok
ford Miss, where his education may be
said to have begun. After acquiring all
that was to be learned in the Oxford schools
young Lamar was sent to Emory college in
Georgia. He graduated in 1915, at once
commenced the study of law in Macon,
and was admitted to the bar two years
later.
The citizens of Mississippi were unwill-
ing to permit their brilliant young advo-
cate to waste his ability on plantation,
and in 1856 he was elected to congress as a
Democrat. He served from 1857 to 1860.
Things had reached such a pass then that
every public officer had to decide between
the Union and the confederacy. Mr. Lamar
therefore resigned his seat in congress to
become a member of the Mississippi seces-
sion convention, in which body he played
an important part.
When hostilities began, Mr.. Lamar ac-
cepted commission as lieutenant colonel
of the Nineteenth Mississippi regiment
He was afterward promoted to the colo
nelcy, and up to the day of his death the
people of his home town, Oxford, almost
