DEATH OF COL. EDGAR M. BUTT
"Col. Butt is dead," was the message flashed over the wires Monday morning 
fallinf with peculiar sadness on many hearts in Ellaville where he was well 
known and loved as few men have been.  We have no heart to attempt a eulogy of 
our dead friend.  While we realize fully that his death created a void that 
cannot be filled yet witnessing his heroic suffering and changed physical 
condition we cannot grieve that the great and noble heart has ceased its weary 
throbing and that the matyr has laid down the cross to receive the crown in 
that city where no night falls and joy springs eternal.  Col. Butt was the soul 
of honor and fidelity in all his relations to his country and his fellowmen and 
his magnificent soul went to peace and rest as no man could have gone save 
through the atoning blood of Christ.  In the church that he loved in Buena 
Vista the last sad tribute was paid by a large concourse of sorrowing friends 
and all that was mortal of this gifted man was interred with Masonic honors.  
He is not dead in lives made better by his own, he lives forever.
