Would Oblige His Friend.

A well-known Atlanta man, (says the Constitution,) who died recently, was ill a long time before the end came. When he became aware of his approaching death, he called a friend to his bedside and asked if he knew a minister whose name was mentioned. “We11,.1 wish,” said the sick man, “that you’d go to him and tell him I’m going to die; and ask him to preach at my funeral.,”! Thq, friend went tq the minister’s house and found him sick in bed. Nevertheless, he delivered the request. “TeU my good brother,” said the minister, "that I’m mighty sick myself, but I’m getting better, and if he can manage to hold, on to life untilT get up. I’ll preach his tuner&T sermon gladly.”
