to send a copy of the Butler Herald
for one year at a cost of one dollar
send in your dollar with the name
and address of the individual that
you want to receive the paper and
his name will be placed on the
mailing list immediately. If you
want to send one soldier boy a pa

more than they would any other
reading material that we could

friends who had the pleasure of
knowing her.
Funeral services for her were
held at the graveside at Bethel

The Caravan is composed of two
young men, two young ladies and

proven of lasting benefit to the
state and have not been assailed
by politicians or criticized by in
dividuals. During neither of the
preceding sessions was Mr. Ed
wards aligned with any faction or
clan, doing only clear thinking and
clear acting for himself.
Born lin our neighbor county of
Marion, the son of Dr. M. R. and
Mrs. Emma Bussey Edwards, a
family known for their, activities in
religious, fraternal and civic af
fairs, Mr. Edwards received his
high school education at Buena
Vista after which he attended a
business college in Atlanta and lat
er the University of Georgia.
Following the completion of his
education at these splendid institu
tions, Mr. Edwards saw great pos
sibilities in the future of this sec
tion and based on this foresight he
settled in Butler and began invest
ing in real estate, both city prop
erty and large tracts of the best of
farming lands in addition to the
establishment of a most creditable
live-stock market and an under
taking business. These enterprises
prospered by leaps and bounds as
did his peach orchards and large
acreages planted to cotton and
corn. Following the close of the
first World War when business
was depressed and realizing the
need in the community of a strong
financial system he established the
Citizens State Bank of 1 Butler
which institution he still heads as
President. '
By frugality and strict adherence
to sound business principles.. Mr.
Edwards has succeeded well in the
financial world; but as men are
best known and appreciated for
their good deeds—charitable and
otherwise, Mr. Edwards stands to
day upon the highest pinnacle in
the love and esteem of his fellow
citizens.
It is natural to assume that Mr.
Edwards will have no opposition in
the coming primary and when he
returns to the Legislature it will
be with ripe experience whereby he
will be better able to serve his
county and state than ever berore.
