Whereas, the Kiwanis Club of Ce

mous vote in favor of the bonds; and,
Whereas, it took the united efforts

Frank Howard's Death.
The lute lamented Mr. J. Frank
Howard was one of the Club’s most
valued members, and the following
resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed by a rising vote:—
Mr. President and Fellow KiWan-
ians:
Your Committee appointed to
draft resolutions in connection with
the sudden death of our beloved
member and brother, J. Frank How
ard, report that they requested Mr.
Charles Adamson, a member of the
Committee, to draft and read the
Resolution.
Mr. J. Frank Howard came to the
Cedartown Cotton Company over 23
years ago. At that time he filled the
humble capacity of marking cases at
a small wage. He at once attarcted
the attention of our then Treasurer,
lion. Thomas Adamson, who by coun
sel, example and affectionate help,
incited Frank Howard to develop his
latent ability. He was given a short
leave of absence, studied bookkeep
ing, did everything, by study at
home and away from home, to fit
himself for any position that might
open to him in the office of the Com
pany. He made a point of familiar
izing Himself with every detail of
the work,— was not a rule-of-
the-thumb man who only did what he
thought was his special work, or who
left his work before the whistle blew.
He was ready and willing at all times
to do anything and everything; the
result was inevitable; step by step he
was advanced; his salary raised; he
was given full control of the books
of the Company, was made a direc
tor in all the companies and for the
last 16 years or more, ever since the
organization of the Cedartown Cot
ton & Export Company, Mr. Howard
has been the Comptroller of the
Company, one of the most important
positions of trust in our company. He
never stopped improving himself. At
the time of his death he was a capa
ble, expert accountant and office
manager with a salary commensur
ate with his ability, and a steadily in
creasing future.
During the more than twenty-three
years he was with me his character
was equal to, or greater than, his a-
bility.
During all that time there was nev
er a misunderstanding in his work;
he lived in an atmosphere of co-op
eration, harmony and love, and more
than did his part to promote those
qualities.
To my honored father, he was like
a son; to myself a beloved brother. 1
have never heard him speak ill of
anyone.
In the community the same quali
ties that endeared him to his busi
ness associates made him prominent
in his civic work. Active and a lea
der in the church to which lie was
devoted, nnd in which he served in
many capacities.
A councilman, trying to do his
duty to his city, a member of the
Board of Education. In office, pub
lic or private, helping everyone who
appealed to him, with money and his
efforts, therefore
Resolved, that the death of J.
Frank Howard is n great loss to the
community in which he lived, to his
business associates, and to every in
dividual with whom he came in con
tact; a void made by he nhscnce of
an affectionate nnd faithful friend,
the depth and meaning of which it
would bo hurd to measure.
Resolved further, thut besides his
fidelity to his work, and to his every
rclution in life, public or private, he
possessed u disposition which enabled
him to prevent or clear up misun
derstandings and preserve amiable
nnd efficient relations with everyone
to earn the confidence, respect and
love of all.
Resolved, that a copy of this state
ment and resolution be sent to the
family of Mr. Howard, nnd a copy
given to Mr. Adamson, who wishes to
insert it in the minutes of his Com
pany.

RESUMES MINING
Mr. R. D. Davis, one of our hustl
ing iron men, has resumed mining op
erations. While this is hand-work
only for the present, it is an indica
tion of u revival of business surely on
the way.
The iron industry is one of the
most reliable business barometers in
the world, nnd this evidensc of re
nowed activity is most gratifying.
The call for the annual convention
of. the Farmers' Union of Georgia
has been issued by President J. II.
Mills, to meet in Macon on Feb. 8th
nnd 9th.

A Warning.
Our rule is to throw unsigned let
ters in the waste basket, for the an-
onyrtidUS' letter-writer is usually a
cowardly skunk. The following,how
ever; needs publishing if there is any
basis of truth in it, and we believe
our readers will approve our course
in presenting the following letter to
the public, as the writer evidently
does not belong to the class referred
to. .The objection to publica
tion is. that it reflects on innocent
as well as guilty men, for very 'few
taxiSdrivers an probably gtiilty of
such misconduct, and it would be
easy for fcnSone to get private cars
mixed up with service cars. If the .
write? actually knows of anyone —
taxi driver 'or otherwise —who is
guilty,-/xf’rtaking young girls on suoh
trips, it Is his duty to present them
to the ( ,{»rand Jury. Some of the
drivers . we know challenge investi
gation. . Here is the letter:—
;'*<3*tia'rtown, Jan. 24th. 1922.
RU.- Standard: I am sending you
a fm/t’ words hoping to see it pub
lished on the front page of j our
pap«. I am giving warning to the
parents of the young girls, especially
the young school girls. When your
daughters ask if they can go to the
show, be sure they are at the show.
I know several of the taxi drivers
pick up young girls on the street and
take them out to meet men. I live
three miles in the country, and these
men bring regularly the young girls
to my grove and pasture; bring them
out to meet young men, and coma
back later and get them. I had a
young man come to my house and
stay a few days secretly to get the
names of these men and girls. I
have all the names and intend .to
carry them before the grand jury if
it is not stopped. These taxi drivers
bring some of lowest class out to my
farm and some of the highest and
respectable class girls, too. I do not
enre to sign my name, but the taxi
drivers will know who it is when
they read this.
I hope you will publish this for a
fair warning. **
