AN OVATION FOR JUDGE GRIGGs.

That Ia the WAY 'Our Jim's" Reception in
MscOn Is Described.
Judge Griggs returned from Macon
Friday, where he went TO hear some mo-
tons in Bib Superior court before TAX
ing trip to Florida.
Judge Griggs is no less popular
abroad than he is at home, and the
warm reception given him wherever he
goes is very pleasing to his friends.
OF his recent visit to Macon the Tel
egraph says:
Judge James NJ. Griggs of the Patau-
la circuit arrived in the. city yesterday
to hold court for Judge Bartlett, who
left last night for few days visit to
Florida.
Immediately upon his arrival Judge
Griggs took up the motion and GER
tiorari docket and began hearing mo-
tions, among which were number in
the Georgia Southern case.
"Judge Griggs has found permanent
lodging in the hearts of the Macon bar,
and when he arrived yesterday the re-
eeption he received was little less than
an ovation.
slim Griggs, them all call him, and
they never lose an opportunity to be
with him and hear his rich jokes and
genial laughter. Few men possess the
personal magnetism of Judge Griggs.
His humor is inexhausrable and often
crops out In the court room on any and
all occasions. Withal, he is an able,
learned land impartial Judge, and these
qualities perhaps even more than his wit
and geniality, are what have SO COM
pletely endeared him to the members of
the Macon bar.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1894-03-07


he was chosen anniversarian of tie Phi
Kappa literary society, position which
has been filled by s1ch men as Lumpkin
and Stephens, and is considered one of
the highest honors a student can 6 in.
After graduation he was elected princi-
pal of the Millen high school, but the
arduous duties of the school room proved
too much for his constitution, which had
become much enfeebled by his college
labors, and after five months of very
successful work, during which time he
endeared himself to both patrons and
pupils, he was forced to resign and
come home to a bed of suffering from
which he was fated never to rise.
How sad, it seems to us, that such
splendid, abilities should be cut down
just as they were beginning to unfold!
He had smitten the rock of true elo-
quence and it had begun to flow. What
untold fountains were locked within we
may never know, but whatever they
were they would have been used for God
and his country.
We could not suppose that in view of
his fine prospects for long and useful
career, that in view of his laudable am
bition and talents capable of sustaining
it, he could have borne his af1iction and
met his fate without murmer. But as
the fell disease fastened its fangs deeper
and deeper upon him it was remarkable
so see him suffer with a Job like pa
thence. No whisper of earthly hope sus-
tanned him as he looked steadily at his
inevitable doom, but not murmer es-
capped his lips; no lament was heard; no
word of grief or disappointment that the
end of his pilgrimage was SO near. He
seeGled perfectly willing for God to have
His way. His submission was the per-
feet reliance of noble soul upon the
immutable truths of Gods promise. He
seemed ON a summit of trust from which
he could view the inheritance that en-
dureth forever, and was only waiting for
the letters to be broken to enter into it's
enjoyance.
He may have won the applause of the
senate had he lived, but do we not know
that he has heard plaudits sweeter than
ever greeted mortal ear, that the great
King has met him with the plaudit:
"We1 done thou good and faithful ser
want, eater thou into the joy of eternal
rest"
The funeral services were held at the
Methodist church Friday afternoon, DR..
Scruggs officiating, after which all that
was mortal of VIII Christie was laid to
rest in the city cemetery in the presence
of a large number of relatives and
friends. FRIEND.

DRArH OF MRS. j. W. ROBERTS.
A Good Woman Called to a Home in Glory
Sunday Night.

A Good Woman Called to a Home in Glory
Sunday Night.
Monday morning the community was
shocked upon learning of the sudden
death of Mrs. Mary j. Roberts, wife of
Ordinary J. W. Roberts, whose spirit
peacefully departed in the still
watches of the night before. When the
morning light came all that was mortal
of one of our best loved ladies was cold
in death.
For long years Mrs. Roberts had suf-
fered from pulmonary affection, but
she bore her affection with fortitude
and christian resignation.
From early girlhood she had been a
member of the Baptist church, and
adorned her daily life with consistent
walk and conversation, an example for
good to all around her. She was the
light of her home, diffusing radiance
that illumined the home circle of which
she was the devoted wife and Affection
ate mother.
Mrs. Rober 8, who Yves IA years of age
at the time of her death, was daught,r
of the late Judge John Colley, of Cal
houn county, who, in his life time, was
one of the most prominent aud substan-
tial citizens of this section.
She leaves an aged and stricken hus-
band and four sons and two daughters,
all grown, to mourn her loss. Fer place
cannot be filled in the home which is
now desolate, and ali that is left are the
sweet memories connected with her
lovely character and self-sacrifcing life,
and the hope of reunion with her in
the better world.
Funeral services we're held In the Bap-
tistchurch yesterday morning, after which
remains were inferred in the city GENE
terry in the presence of large number of
sorrowing relatives and friends, DR.. Pat

IRON HALL HECEIvERsHIP.
This May Interest Dawson Members Of the
Order.

This May Interest Dawson Members Of the
Order.
There are quite a number in Dawson
who were members of the Iron Hall. It
may interest them TO know thattwo court
orders will be taken in the receivership.
One will declare dividend of PROBABLY
Is per cent. and the other may fix time
for final accounting with the receiver of
states that have not accounted, and upon
failure such states will be excluded from
participation in the distribution of the
Indiana receiver. This action is based
on the finding of the master in chancery
of the Philadelphia common pleas court,
who hold that while the money belongs
to the supreme sitting the title of the
Indiana receiver to it is not sufficiently
established to require the court to send
it, him to Philadelphia for distribution.
The money in dispute was the reserve
funds in the branches of the different
states. In Pennsylvania it amonts to
$1,000, 900; in Massachusetts, $4,000, 900;
New Jersey and Missouri, about $50, 600,
and in Maryland about 100000.

WILL CHRISTIE Is DEAD.
AFTER MANY MONTHS OF SUFFERING
He Peacefully Passes co the Long Rest--A
Tribute to His Memory by Friend.
Universal Sorrow

0SSCD
Tribute to His Memory by Friend.
Universal Sorrow.
The silver cord is loosened, the golden
bowl is broken and the loving, trusting
spirit of William Edgar Christie has re-
turned to the God who gave it. When
the light of the sun fades away at even
ing we see the harmonious fulfllment of
natures law, but whe- darkness comes
before it is yet noon we are struck with
wonder at her mysteries; when Death
calls those who have served their three
score years and ten, and whose labOrs are
ended, we see them sink into their ever
lasting rest with resignation to the i'm
mutable degrees of Providence, but
when the Silent Reaper claims the Young
in all their promise for future usefulness
we break forth in uncomfortable grief
and almost question the ways of heaven
and earth. How capricious are the ways
of death, and how past finding out!
But yesterday Willie Christie was in
the full flush of young manhood with
every promise of long rnd useful
career, but now he has joined the silent
host beyond the pale of mortal ken. Why
was he taken away when the brightest
honors seemed almost to be flushing
upon him? when allnring hope had just
stood him in the open pathway to fame
and fortune and was reckoning him to
the submits of earthly gloryP Why? We
don't know, but we can bow our heads
in humble submission, knowing it is for
the best. His sun went down in the
ea1ly morn. when in the full promise Of
such bright day it has but gilded the
mountain tops with beauty, but it sank
amid the prophetic splendors Of an eter-
nal dawn.
William Edgar Christie was born jan
uary, 1868, and died March list, 1894. In
early life he was thrown to a great extent
upon his own resources, but, being filed
with laudable ambition to succeed, he
devoted all his spare moments to the
Improvement of his mind. AS soon as
he was able he entered the South Georgia
Male and Female College at Dawson,
where, by close application and persistent
effort, he soon forged his way to the
front. winning the Latin medal and
graduating in 1889 with the highest
bonors of his class, beloved alike by
classmates and teachers. After teaching
for a short time he entered the sOphO
more class in the University of Georgia
in January, 1890. Soon after entering
the University he connected himself
with the Sigma NJ fraternity, where,
amid the circle of his friends, his true
worth Immediately became manifested.
Such admirable qualities were not long
in being discovered by others and almost
without an effort he took his stand
among the first in his class and soon
became to be regarded by bis professors,
as well as by his fellow students, as one
who was destined to,write his name high
on the ladder of fame. During his sOph-
omore year he was elected spring debater
by his society, which he represented
with credit and distinction. During his
junior year he won the champion debat-
er's medal, and represented his society,
as well as his class, at commencement.
During his senior year still higher

report as follows:
We arrived at Dcs Moines at 1890
4. m, May /, and proceeded ut once
to the camp of Kelly's army, and
found molly crowd of men of all
nationalities and colors.
We found about 1,4OO men, of
which about one-half are Americans
and the balance foreigners, with a
small percentage of negroes. A very
large majority are from IS to % years
of age, who appeared to have no fam
lilies to care for, and found them
selves in the western country with
out employment when the stringency
in these times came on. We found
them in very deplorable condition,
and their camp filthy and menace
to the health of the community.
Out of Wearing Apparel. Too.
We also found that the army
is very much in need of clothes and
shoes and it will only be very short
time until they will camp in some To-
cality where the people viii Ctor the
sake of good morals and decency) be
compelled to clothe and shoe them,
besides providing for their subslst-
encc, which will entail an enormous
expense. On the whole, we believe
them to be very undesirable body
of men to have invade our tri-cities,
and any honorable means that can
be found to prevent the same should
be taken advantage of by the different
ADMINISTRATIONS. Respectfully,
