Doctor George Brown.

lie front page OF Ihc Saturday Re
Tie~ OF July 18th, published in Atlanta,
contains II large picture Df our hand
some and genial friend, DR.. George
Brown, formerly OF Bolton, this COun-
ty, and OH another page the following
sketch by the editor appears. DR..
Brown has been II resident of the ";atc
City for number of years, and is
now one of the most popular and sue
cessful physicians and surgeons in that
city. We know his many friends i'll
Anderson County will rcaH this sketch
with interest:
\ mans soul is 1.-The main concern"
And the universe were small and mean
without this one symbol OF divinity.
| am persuaded that. after all, the soul
tul tints OF this life must inevitably
paint the final canvas. And so, am
ever aware of tho winged zephyrs that
the children of men have appropriated
unto themselves; and like to watch
the undulations and curious patterns
swept over the human fields Of corn.
These palpitant hues preside in my
vlsion-and l am always alert for the
almlesS combinations which make I'D
the personality of an individual. Of
these we should speak more often for
when civilization stops long enough to
take an inventory OF assets it will be
found that individualism is short while
the age is Ovcrstockcd with perverted
socialism. This would be my excuse,
were one needed, for the liberty I as
sumo in discussing persons.
DR.. Geo. Brown is a unique character.
He reminds me of other days, as ! see
them thro the lenses of some of our
clever writer's. Els ims never lost the
divine thing called enthusiasm. I'm
consciously as flower takes on it's own
paint and pattern, DIR. Brown grew
according to the purpose of Emerson's
appeal. He is absolutely himself with
out apology and without pose.- The
impulses of abandon-of poetic unrest
within his soul blend sweetly with
patient equipoise happy boyishness
unites with the austere and mature
the result is an ineff:.ble charm Of
strong character-n manliness which
attracts and helps.
Professionally he calls to mind some
what of Ambrose Pare to whom he is
not unlike in feature and facial express
sion. And when note is made of the
vast difference in conditions which OBJ
tained early in the sixteenth century
from those of our day the Professional
career of DIR. Brown is even more strik-
ingly akin to that of the great surgeon
of Laval. do not speak of the special
lines of work followed by each nor
would attempt to find likeness in the
discovery that made Pare the father of
the actual renaissance of surgery but
in the broader view--the impression
istic idealism-Of treating the two char
acters in relation to the times and
environments, and considering the
generous and public spirited traits of
the men, Il most pronounced similarity
is obvious.
And like to think that in these de-
generate days there are souls which
still possess the freshness of fancy that
made the world to blossom rs n garden
in the dear dim olden time.
A physician who ministers unto the
stricken poor without fee or price, q
man who with ever ready open palm is
ready to help those less fortunate than
he-and man whose pure heart and
high resolve embraces the frailties and
f0ibles of the weak-who lovingly for
gives and like Nature. forgets-who is
ever building where smaller spirits
would demolisb. is unto the weary
world as loving prince of light.
AS such I apprehend the soul of DR..
George Brown.
