And this request was a very natural one for it was in this community that his early manhood and more mature years were spent. It was here that his considerate, kindly and humorous disposition won for him a lasting place in the hearts of this people. '['ho he had been away for 20-odd years they re membered and loved him still. Man y pleasant memories cluster around him. Hardly an old per ron hereabouts but that has anl interesting incident or more to relate about the "Squire Matt" as he was familiarly called. For 8 years he was magistrate og .Pumpkintown and for a greater number ho ova-, post master of Rock postotlice. iei was a Confederate Veteran-a true son of the South. He was born near Rosman, N. C. He was 77 Vears and 11 months of age. He wfas tw'ice iarried, first to Miss Rachael Roper and last to Miss Sallie.Goodwin. The latter and four daughters sur vive him. The funeral services were very appropriately (on ducted by Pastor Rev. W. M. Hammond. Numerous friends and relatives from Marietta, be sides scores of old neigh bors and acquaintances from this and surrounding-sections were pres ent to pay the last tribute of re spect, to this departed friend. Many a tear d(r(p traced its way on furrowed faces as we stood about the open ;-rave. And in the shadows of the blue hills which he loved we left him. Mr. and Mrs. Henry J ones of the Cross Roads section have taken rooms at the Oolenoy Inn where they will be at home to their friends in a few (lays.
