July 25th, 1906, la the 64th year of his age. He haa been Id bad health for Bome time aDd the end did not come unexpectedly. Death came to him peacefully and was met with the calm resignation of the true Chris ilsn spirit, sustained and soothed by an unfaltering trust In God. He was a member of the Methodist cburcb And be always manifested a lively interest in all of his churoh affairs. He was a man of means, and gave liberally to the various causes of church work. In his contemplation of religion he was serious and reverential. He loved the worship of the sanctuary and delighted in tbeswtet songs ol Zlon. He was born Nov. 23, 1842, in Barbour County, Alabama, but be always referred to Georgia as his native State, Blnce while yet an Infant, bis parents moved to Elbert County, where he lived until the close of the war between the States. He was only eighteen years of age when this war began, but he responded to the first call for troops In the Southern cause, which was so fo dear to his heart. He enlisted in Company A, of the 15lb Georgia Regiment, Bennlng's Brigade, and remained at the front throughout the war with the exoeDtlon of a few weeks when be was at borne on a furlough 1 : on account onilDese. Tbere waa no truer or i braver soldier among tbe brave soldiery of i Lee than waa this gallant young Georgian. He would have been given a command If i be had wished it, but be preferred to be only > a private soldier. His fidelity and courage could not, bowi ever, go unrecognlxed, and early In tbe war, ' be was made one of tbe oolor guards of bis regiment. I In tbe battle of the Wilderness, while In tbe tblekest of tbe fight, tbe oolor Sergeant received a mortal wound, and as be waa falling the flag of tbe regiment was oautfbt np by Mr. Cade and carried forward. After tbla battle, be was appointed color i Sergeant of tbe regiment, and aerved as Eucb, i with marked bravery until tbe surrender at Appomattox. i It was with pardonable pride that be in i his interesting stories of tbe war, pointed to tbe fact that in every battle, wbetber advancing to victory or retreating against odda, be , nuccesBfully carried the flag of bis regiment. In one engagement tbe flag received eighteen > bullet holes, one bullet striking tbe staff and i shattering It. Firmly grasping tbe broken staff, and i waving aloft tbe tattered ensign, be advanoed i into tbe thickest of tbe fight tbe tide of battle rolled Irresistibly forward until tbe foe 1 was dislodged and the victory won. He enjoyed relating stories of tbe war and he did not fall to interest bis listeners in these reoltals as be bad a remarkable mem ory and a good command of language. After tbe war, he returned to the parental > home In Georgia, which be soon left however J and moved to Abbeville County, S. C. where * mi! Dth. I mis i 9 le will present the celeHilPs Pavilion Theater. cer and visitors. aonument. er. he went to manacre a larva clantatlon which I bla father bad recently bought. Id Feb. the following year, 1865, be was married to Mis* Sallle C. Slaughter, dangbter of Col. Wm. M. Slaughter of Albany, Oa. Of this union tbere were born reven cons, five of whom are still living. Three of these 6ons are married and Bettled on farma near to tbe parental borne. Mr. Cade's work on eartb Is flnUbed. Tbe battles of life are over, tbe last victory won; tbe weary soldier rests. Tbe community has locta good citizen; tbe oboreb a ready and willing belper; friends, a safe oonnsellor; bis family, a kind bnaband and father. Hit familiar figure will be aeen no more, me Kind voice is nnsoea. ice goca counsellor Is taken away; but we are comforted by tbe mr 'fry of bin virtues and by tbe thought that .. 4 virtues have made tbelr Impress for gooo be lives of otbers wblcb will bear frnlt lz> . ?ure generations.
