Obituary.

Rosson Jay Andruss was born in
Nunda Ill.,, on March %, 1882, and in
May q The following year removed
with ills parents to Poplar Grove, Ill,
where the remainder Of his life was
passed except the last nineteen months
spent with relatives in Bristol, Keno
sha county, Wisconsin. He was the
only son of Marvin ]. and Alice E.
Andruss. His mother died on Jan. 4th,
1894, and is buried in Walkers Prairie
cemetery, where he was placed by he1
side.
Rossie had been sick about five
weeks, first with 1unbago, followed by
p1eurisy and neuralgia, and although
not considered sick by either doctor OF
relatives his father came and stayed
with him over two weeks and, as he
seemed much better, returned to his
home in Be1videre, ILL.,, just one week
before the final summons came. The
morning of his death he came down
from his room laughing and joking
and went out of doors for q snort walk
as he had done for nearly a week.

sick and expired soon after getting
him into the house. Heart failure was
the immediate cause of his death. He
was of a joyous disposition and thor
ough1y enjoyed the calls of his many
friends during his sickness and only
the evening before his death one of his
friends spent a pleasant hour with him
and left feeling he would very soon be
well again.
The funeral occurred on Thursday,
March 18th. Rev. Mayer, who had
called to see him few days previous,
and who was well acquainted with
him, paid fitting tribute to the de-
ceased by saying "Rossie was liked by
all, and loved by many"
His school friends presented beauti-
full flowers, and six companions carried
him to his last resting place, while
many sad hearts said Farewell
Rosie"

WILL INVITE LEAGUERs.
savannah's Union VIII Ask for the
State Conference Next Year.


A meeting of the Union of Epworth
night to consider the advisability Of in
viting the Epworth League Conference of
1901 to meet in this city. After much dis
cussion it was decided to instruct the
secretary of the union to invite the con-
ference with the understanding that the
local leaguers will entertain one delegate
from each league, also all of the speak
ers of the occasion and such ministers
as may attend. Persons who attend other
than those excepted above will do so at
their own expense.
The conference Of leagues for this
year will meet in Rome, from June q to "a
inclusive. Savannah will send to 1t at
least four delegates and probably more as
the representation al this conference is
based upon one delegate for every twenty
five members in the union, but Rome as
will be the case with Savannah next year.
Will entertain only one delegate from each
league.
1t was also decided that the president
OF the union should appoint a committee
to see the representatives of the railroads
entering Savannah, also the manager of
the city street car lines, to see what terms
can be had for the delegates who expect
to attend.
The Epworth League is one of the
largest and strongest of the denomina-
tional societies of the state, and its con-
ferences are usually attended by between
500 and 800 persons. The Savannah leagues.
should their invitation be accepted, and
there Is little doubt that il will be, will
Immediately begin their plans to make
the conference a success There Is no
doubt that with the spirit and enterprise
with which their ranks are filed. that they
will succeed in making it one of the larg-
est and best ever held in this part of the
state.
Mr.. J. Bailey Gordon, first vice president
OF the society, will arrive in the city to-
DAY, and tonight will address a meeting
on the society and its work at the Seventh
Street Methodist Church.

Body of the Old Soldier Laid to Rest
in Laurel Grove.

The funeral of Capt. Thomas A. Mad
dox took place from his late residence. ia
Anderson street, east, at $50 O'Clock yes
terday evening. 1t was attended by the
Confederate Veterans Association and by
the Chatham Artillery. The interment was
in Laurel Grove.
The Veterans Association turned out
over fifty men, under the command of
Judge Robert Falligant. its president. The
Chatham Artillery was commanded by
Capt. George p. Walker. The pallbearers
were Gen. w. w. Gordon, Capt. NJ. P.
Usina, Capt John r. Dillon and Mr.. Julius
Perlinski, all veterans who had fought
with Captain Maddox in Virginia. from
the association, and Messrs. Hockey Gar
many and J. C. Barbour from the Chat
ham Artillery.
The funeral services at the house and
at the grave in Laurel Grove were per-
formed by Rev. NJ. J. Epting. pastor of
st. Paurs Lutheran Church. The services
were simple and impressive, as beftted
the closing scene in the earthly career of
one who might we'll have said: Il have
fought a good fight, have finished my
course. have kept the faith"
AT the grave the Chatham Artillery fired
a salute of three guns over the grave of
Capt. Maddox, who was an honorary mem
Der of the company, and had been its or
derby sergeant many years before the war.
The Confederate Veterans Association
draped the grave with the flag of the Con-
fedeTacy, in accordance with their custom,
and Bugler Gus Kayton sounded taps"
the soldiers farewell, Everything in ma
ture was typical of the end, for in the west
the last rays of the sun went down in a
sea of crimson glory. disappearing below
the horizon almost simultaneously with
the final nlournful notes of the bugle.
Among the floral offerings with which
the grave was covered was pillow of
roses froSl the Chatham Artillery and the
accustomed laurel wreath Of the Veterans.
There were others OF much beauty.
One of the most noticeable features Of
the funeral was the fact that the Confed-
crate Veterans Association turned out a
larger number of its members than has
been the case at any funeral for a long
time. The hour of the day al which the
funeral was held, permitting many of the
veterans to parade without feeling the ef-
fects OF the heat and the dusty march TO
the cemetery, doubtless contributed some
what 20 this large attendance but the per-
sonal esteem in which Capt. Maddox was
held among them was also a potent influ-
ence in securing so large an attendance.
There was another reason, a sad one. AS
one of the members of the association said
yesterday: Almost the only duty that is
left to us now is the burial of our dead
comrades. There is never more than a
short interval between the times when we
are called upon to perform this service for
one OF our members" The veterans real
ize this fact thoroughly and in the closing
years of their lives are anxious to live up
to the full measure of the duty Of a SOL
der and a man. The solemn duty of the
burial of their dead they place above all
others.

anyone who has an idea that the bill
posters are an overworked and poverty
stricken lot should have seen the jolly
and comfortable looking set of business
men gathered in front of the Marshall
House last night. The bill posters are not
only a prosperous lot, but they have read
the signs of the times and formed a close
Corporation among themselves by which
one man controls the business in each
city, only one man being admitted to
membership in the association from each
place. The association Is governed by
rules which result in keeping the business
pretty closely confined to it's own mem
bers.
This was the chief cause of the discus
sion yesterday. There were rival appli-
Giants from two or three cities, and as
each had friends in the association there
was quite an animated discussion as to
who should be admitted TO the privileges
and who left out in the cold. AS the re-
suit of the days work new members were
admitted from the following cities: Char
