of the strongest characters in Tennes
/! see, died at Nashville infirmary OF
Sunday morning, following an opera
| ton. While Mr.. Hughes had not beer
in the best of health for some time
there was no thought of the end wher
he went to Nashville to undergo the
operation and the news of his death
was a great shock to the people.
Mr.. Hughes, affectionately known In
educational circles, as Patsy" Hughes
was one of the noted educators of the
South. AS one of the principals of
the Branham & Hughes school at
Spring Hill, he had assisted in educat-
Ing hundreds of the finest students In
the South. His pupils always took
high honors in Vaderbilt and other
higher educational Institutions. He
was man of remarkably strong per-
sonality. He was vigorous, courageous,
generous, public-spirted and an ardent
advocate Of any cause that challenged
his sympathy.
The dead educator was splendid
speaker. He was an optimist. He
entered into every cause, with his
whole heart. He was prodigous
worker, the friend of everyone In
trouble or need; the advocate Of every
thing that would promote or tend to
elevate the cause of humanity. He
was in the strictest sense self-made
man. He worked his way through
Vanderbilt University and twenty
one years ago, with W. G. Branham,
founded the well-known school at
Spring Hill.
Mr.. Hughes was leader in civic
Righteousness. He was mayor OF
Spring Hill and had held the Office
for many years. He was the terror OF
the evil-doer; the consistent enemy of
the liquor traffic and Of everything
that would impair the morals OF the
community. He was one of the lead
ing Methodists of the South, having
served in a number of high offices,
been a frequent member of annual
conferences and church boards. or
him it can be truly said that What
soever his hands found to do he did

Seek and ye shall find; knock and

the subject selected by Rev. James
Bishop Thomas, Phi. D., of Sewanee.
who preached the commencement ser.
mon Sunday morning at st. Peters
church before the graduates of Column
Dia lntsitue and the Columbia Military
Academy. =,
The church auditorium was crowded
to its capacity to hear the able dis.
course by the distinguished speaker.
The subject was quite appropriate to
the occasion, and the lesson gathered
from the text and the manner in which
the speaker framed it up, was a gem.
He made it applicable to the present
case. He laid great stress upon the
fact that God wanted all the best
there was in man, but that he did
not want any man or woman forget
the fact that while he was devoting a.
part of his or her time to the things
that pertained to God and His work ON
this earth, there was another side of
life, and that was the good and whole
some enjoyments that every being
needs.
At the conclusion of the sermon,
Mrs. George Martin, Misses Elizabeth
and Minnie Shannon sang
a beautiful offertory. The music of

with his might" He was full of energy
and doubtless taxed his physical re
sources great as they were and has
tened his early demise. He was fifty
years of age and was another product
of the noted Webb School, where he
received his preparatory education.
Mr.. Hughes will be greatly missed
4 in educational circles; he leaves a
great void in the councils of his
church: his loss of the Spring Hill
community is almost irreparable.
Probably no man ever lived in that
section who labored more earnestly,
with greater zeal and conservation
than he did for the uplift of the whole
community. He was Of genial, warm
hearted, enthusiastic nature and num-
bered his friends almost by his &C.
Quaintances. He was greatly beloved
by the students of the school.
The home life of the educator was
beautiful. He married Miss Susie
Cheairs, who, with six children, sur
wives him. The children are William,
Margaret, Mary, Nat, Cheairs and
Susie.
While never an office-seeker nor
politician, Mr.. Hughes, as became
good citizen, took the liveliest interest
in public affairs. He was prominent
in the prohibition campaign. In 1911
Gov. Hooper offered him the appoint
ment as state superintendent of public
instruction, but he declined because
of his devotion to Che school at Spring
Hill.
The funeral services were conducted
Monday morning at 1880 O'Clock, by
Rev. A. P. Walker, pastor of the Meth
odist church at Spring Hill. The
crowd that attended the funeral was
one of the largest ever at similar
occasion in the county. There were a
number of former students and promi-
nent educators from a distance, includ-
ing Chancellor Kirkland. of Vanderbilt
University and Secretary Cason Of the
Vanderbilt Alumnae association. Ev-
cry business house in Spring Hill was
closed during the hour of the funeral
and practically every citizen of that
section paid tribute to the departed.
The funeral services were simple and
transformations, in keeping with the
life and wishes of the distinguished
dead. The floral tributes we're numer-
ous and exceedingly beautiful.
After the services the remains we're
brought to Columbia, where they were
aid to rest in beautiful Rose Hill GEM
