GOOD MEETING AT FINDLAY
One of the most enthusiastic meet
ings that have been held in the inter
est of the Liberty Bond sale was that
Monday night nt Sandy Mount school
house. An unusually large crowd
gathered to hear the address which
’ wai delivered by Judge Lasseter. The
* large attendance and general success
of the meeting was due to the efforts
of patriotic and public spirited citi
zens of‘the community who worked
up the occasion. There is a fine spirit
of ^operation in the Sandy Mount
Community which tends to make any
undertaken project a success.
some years ago. The result of this
happy union was six noble sons, four
survive him, the other two, Johnnie
and Emmett, having gone home some
years ago. What a monument, sub
lime in duty and destiny, and more
enduring than marble or brass. Six
noble sons to rise up in time and eter
nity to call them blessed.
He joined the Masonic Fraternity
in 1863 and was one of the most
loyal and useful of South Georgia Ma
sons, serving 26 years as Worshipful
Master of his lodge, and never missed
his lodge or failed to attend the
Grand Lodge’s annual meeting for al
most half a century. Always rcauy
respond to call of his brethren,
with sacrifices or services and go his
cable-tow to any in distress.
He was laid to rest Saturday. 6th

old church of which he was a memler

The la3t rites of the lodge of which
he was a member, were beautifully
rendered by his brethren of the home
lodge, and members from other lodge*
With white gloved hands, immacu

branch of arborvitac, the emblem of
the resurrection and of life eternal;
and with songs and banks of flowers
we bade him goodbye until we meet
again.

we will be. May God help us now to
prepare to meet him in eternity.
