He was burled there Tuesday and
his relatives In Thomaavllle noti

Hurst and one of the best sheriffs
that Thomas county ever had, he
- was a man who was possibly better
known than any other officer ln 4
this section of the statq^Hls record
Is one that smacks of extreme dar
ing and fearlessness. He served
Thomas county In that position for
many years. '
During the past few years of his
life he was a wanderer on the face
' of the earth, ma'klng frequent pil
grimages to various sections of
South Georgia and always on foot.
A year or more ago he was ad
judged Insane and sent to the state
■sylntn from that county. Since
that time and a few months prior
' hs was In miserable health and
death came possibly as a great re-
' lief. He was reported dead several
times and a man positively Identi
fied as he near Albany about fif
teen monthp - ago. He' however,
turned up In Thomaavllle the next
week a. well and hearty as ever,
and langhed heartily ut the report
of his death.
