Died, at his residence, Jackson county, on the 12th inst., Mr. James Rodgers, from heart and lung disease. He passed away in his sixty-ninth year; he was taken sick in the field, while at work, and on reaching the house remarked to the family "he had given out for the last time," which proved to be the case, for he was not permitted to see his desired farm again. He was confined to his bed three weeks; possessed the greatest patience during his sickness, and through life was a pattern of industry, morality and peity. This noble and generous man was one of our best citizens, and his presence will be greatly missed in his family and neighborhood. Our dear friend was perfectly resigned to the will of His heavenly father; he spoke these words to the writer a few days before his death-- "I know that Jesus can make a dying bed feel soft as downy pillows are," and I feel I can" lean my head on his breast, and breathe my life out sweetly there." Let us admire the rich grace of that Saviour who has provided suck strong and blessed consolation for the believer in the hour of death. Our deceased brother was heard to repeat, distinctly, the word "glory," three times just before he died. How well are the feelings of the departed christian, who is cheered and consoled by the sight of the glorious mansions looming through he mists of the 'dark valley' expressed by these beautiful lines:
....My heavenly home is bright and fair,
..Nor pain nor death can enter there;
...Its glittering towers the sun outshine,
...That heavenly mansion shall be mine."
Owing to the inclemency of the day, on Friday, the burial was postponed until Saturday, 14th. The funeral services took place at "Academy church," and were conducted by Rev. W. H. Bridges, from Rev. 14013. Our friend leaves a kind companion and eight children and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his death; but our loss is his eternal gain. He was an acceptable member of the Baptist church for over 38 years. The surviving relatives have our deepest sympathy in their bereavement.
