Hogansville, Ga., August 2.—The funeral of Mr. E. C. Mobley, who died here Saturday morning, took place yesterday from the Methodist church, and was attended by a large gathering of friends and relatives.

Mr. Mobley was twenty-nine years old, and was a young man of unusually bright mind and noble character.
