Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

Marcellus Brown Hagans was born
in Petersburg, Somerset, Pa, on
April 81, 1927, and died In Elmhurst
near Chicago, ILL.,, on June Fl, 1899.
He was a lawyer of the olden time
and of the old school. His studies
were begun and finished and he was
a practicing lawyer before the Code
era, and when the new system was
inaugurated his thorough training,
after the old fashion, enabled him to
grasp the principals on which the
code was based and to apply them
to system which was looked on by
the lawyers Of his day as having
broken down all the bulwarks of the
profession and opened its doors to
the rule of mediocrity. But while a
lawyer Of the old school Judge Ha-
gans was progressive. The times
demanded a new system to meet the
change in conditions of Jurisprudence
and the administration of justice,
and with his faculty of adapting
himself to circumstances and to the
times he accepted the new system as
the result of the inevitable and APP.
piled himself to master it in all of
it's ramifications.
In early boyhood he went to King
wood, Va, now West Virginia, where
after course in the public schools
he matriculated at old and famous
Washington College, Canonsburg,
Pa, graduating at the age of seven
teen with high honors. His mind
was purely legal and the choice OF
his profession had been made before
he left college On his return to
Kingwood he entered the office of
Hon. w. G. Brown, then. and for
many years afterwards the represen-
tative in Congress OF the district.
He was admitted to practice in lS48
and was meeting with a good meas
| ure of success when the advantages
Of Cincinnati, then the leading city
of The vest, attracted him and he
left Kingwood to enter on an honor
able career in that city.
Judge Hagans was cousin Of
Hon. J. M. Hagans, Of Morgantown,
and is known to many Of our oldest
citizens.

bite OF this bug is far more harmful
than impregnatlons of formic acid,
and that IL cold weather does not
kill the pestiferous insects. the coun-
try is likely to be visited with plague
that will make anyone OF the old

Old Folks Day

Yesterday was "Old Folks
Day" at the Methodist church,
that Is, as regards the morning
service at ii O'Clock. The exer-
cises were under the auspices Of
the Epworth League, and were
for the old folks especially,
though not exclusively. The
church was beautifully and elab-
arately decorated with flowers
and evergreens, while many
beautiful scripture verses, espe-
cially appropriate for old folks,
lined the walls.
Old, familiar hymns were sung
such as "Come, Thou Fount of
Every Blessing" Chow Firm a
Foundation" "Over There" and
"The Sweet Bye and Bye"
Little Miss Lottle Kingman re-
cited beautifully "Old Hymns,
and Miss Daisy Moore reclted
with good effect "The Model
Church"
The pastor, Rev. 7. j. Nixon,
preached an excellent sermon
specially for the old folks, taking
for his text the first few verses
from the Gospel of ST. John,
which begins with "Let not your
heart be troubled.
The two prayers of the service
were offered by old folks, the
first by Rev. j. Lee and the last
by Capt. w. L. Ditto.
One Of the most affecting
scenes was at the close of the
service, when, at the invitation
of the pastor for everyone pres
ent over fifty years of age, who
would do SO, to come forward
and shake hands, promising to
meet him In heaven, a large
number responded, while the
congregation sang ''The Sweet
Bye and Bye"
The congregation was very
large, and it is very doubtful If,
in the history of the Methodist
church of Ocala, so many old
folks were in att. E d ,nce at a sim
gle service as yesterday.
Special invitations had been
sent out, and carriage were fur
nished those who were too feeble
to walk.
We trust that "Old Folks
Day" will ever remain a green
spot in the memories of the old
folks who attended yesterday :
exercises. LEAGUE REPORTER.
