The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1899-07-26
Doctor George Brown.

The front page of The Saturday Re-
Jiem of July 18th, published in Atlanta,
contains a large picture of our hand
some and genial friend, DR.. George
Brown, formerly of Bolton, this Coun-
ty, and on another page the following
sketch by the editor appears. DR..
Brown has been resident of the "Gatc
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 in
Anderson County will read this sketch
with interest:
A mans soul is 1.-The main concern.
And the universe were small anil mean
without this one symbol OF divinity.
am persuaded that. after all, the soul
ful tints OF this life must inevitably
paint the final canvas. And so, am
ever aware of the winged zcphyrs 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
vision-and am always alert for the
aimless combinations which make up
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 ovcrstocked with aperverted
socialism. This would be my excuse,
were one needed, for the liberty as
sumo in discussing persons.
DIR. 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. lie has never lost the
divine thing called enthusiasm. I'm
consciously as a flower takes on its own
paint and pattern, DR.. Brown grew
according to the purpose of Emerson's
appeal. He is absolutely himself with
out apology and without pose. The
impulses of abantlon--of poetic unrest
within his soul blend sweet]y with
patient equipoise a happy boyishness
unites with the austere and mature
the result is an incffable charm OF
strong character-a manliness which
attracts and helps.
Professionally he calls to mind some
what of Ambrose Pare to whom ne is
not unlike in feature and facial express
sion. And when note is made OF the
vast difference in conditions which OBJ
tanned early in the sixteenth century
from those of our day the Professional
career of DR.. 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 i'll the
discovery that made Pare the father OF
the actual renaissance OF surgery; but
in the broader view-thc 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 garden
in the dear dim oldcn time.
A physician who ministers unto tho
stricken poor without fee OF price, a
man who with ever ready open palm is
ready to help those less fortunate than
hc-and 4 man whose pure heart and
high resolve embraces the frailtics and
foibles of the wcak-who lovingly for
gives and like Nature. forgets-who is
ever building where smaller spirits
would dcmolisll, is unto the weary
world rs loving prince of light.
AS such apprehend the soul OF DR..
George Brown.
