to tlie membership of the church, 14
by Christian experience and baptism
and 2 by letter.
ltev. I. A. Crunkleton did the preach

all of our people. The congregation
at each of our morning service was
good and at each night service was
large. Many could not get in the house.
On Wednesday night at 8 o'clock,
three members of the 3 Ks. in white
uniform walked, down the crowded
aisles and presented the preacher with
a nice sum of money expressing to Idm
in a note their friendship and good will
and then retired as mysteriously as
they came. This had a g<s>d effect on
the meeting as the order both in and
out of the house from then to the close

THE LOSS OF GREAT
FORCE FOR GOOD
The People of Tallapoosa, Ga., Mourn
the i/oss of Rev. Jesse M. Dodd,
Who Comes to Winder
, Sept. 1.
The resignation of the Rev. Jesse
Mercer Dodd, pastor of the First Bap
tist church, was a shock to the commu
nity as the news spread Sunday and
Monday and it means the loss of one of
v the greatest forces for the cause of
the Master and the church work of this
j section, that has been sustained in
I many years. •
: His untiring efforts in behalf of his
chosen vocation have been the means
of promoting harmony in Tallapoosa
and have been aq added force to the
upbuilding of the moral fibre of this
A man of vision with the
broad views that constitute the neces
sary qualities for leadership, he has
brought forth a united congregation
among local Baptists, making them
sdrve as an inspiration for other de
nominations. The benefits of his labors
in Tallapoosa have been felt not only
by his own congregation, but by all.
His efforts in the direction of improv
ing city affairs as well as church af
fairs will bear fruit in the times to
come. It is indeed a pity that a man
who has done so much for the advance
ment of our citizenship, should depart
for another field, just as he is getting
sufficiently acquainted with local con
ditions to prove of the most benefit tq
the community.
The Journal joins his many friends
and admirers in Tallapoosa in com
mending him wholeheartedly to the
j people of Winder. Ga.. wishing him the
| greatest possible success in his new 7
I field, but at the same time regrets the
! the loss of one oT our most valuable
citizens. —Tallapoosa Journal.

THE GEORGIA
LEGISLATURE
Despite all the jokes and thrusts at
the greatest law making bodies iu the
South, the Georgia legislature is one
of the most representative bodies that
meets anywhere, composed of a line
bunch of men set for the advancement
of the best interests of the citiens of
the commonwealth.
Our Own Senator.
Despite the fact that 1 am a citizen
of Atlanta now the pronoun “our” still
seems appropriate when writing or
speaking of Judge Geo. A. Johns. He
is a man of splendid qualifications and
noble traits. Recently he paid his re
spects tft the governor and is noted for
his fearless courageous stand iu all
matters pertaining to the welfare of
the masses. In passing it would not
he amiss to say 7 that Senator Johns is
one of the best dressed men in the Sen
ate and is called “millionaire” since
he came back this time. His colleagues
rate'film high in senatorial circles.
Judge I “hi I Davis
Of course I was anxious to see the
representative from my native county
of Oglethorpe, Judge l’hil W. Davis, of
Lexington.
He was my father’s boyhood friend
and neighbor and has been through the
years. He is thoroughly at home in the
House, having Served in the state sen
ate as soon as the age limit would jeer
mit, and lias for a number of times
represented his county and district in
the stale legislature.
judge 'Davis is an able preacher of
the gospel and lias stickability ,having
served one church (Millstone in Ogle
thorpe) continuously during his entiie
pastorial career. He is a polished,
Ghestertieldian gentleman of the old
school and stands high in legislative
circles. One of the leading members of
the House said to me. “The gentleman
from Oglethorpe is one of the ablest
and most eloquent members of the
House. When he speaks the entire body
sits up and takes note for he always
says it well.”
There is syme talk among his col
leagues of his making the race for
governor next time. 40 years of rich
and varied experience as pastor, Judge
Senator and Representative knowledge
of the state affairs, and should he de
cide to run for gubernatorial honors,
he will have hosts of friends from Kn
huns Gap to Tvboe's Light who would
he glad of the opportunity and privi
lege of loyally supporting him. The
writer heard him make two speeches
recently, one an eulogy of the two
friends of House recently gone to
their eternal reward, which was a gem,
ns they were both ex-confederate sol
diers. The other an able anil eloquent
speeclTon the good roads hill. Judge Da-
Vis has placed the name of historic old
Oglethorpe on top in legislative circles.
Col. K. B. Russell.
Barrow’s young representative is
much in evidence in legislative halls.
He is a splendid young lawyer, sane,
safe, progressive, always on the job
looking after the interests of his con
stituents where there is work that
needs' doing badly his friends hesitate
not to put him in harness for the gen
tleman from Barrow is tucftul and
able and lias a glorious career before
him. One is justly proud of his tine
stand and'the good work that he is
doing in this great body.
As usual a lot of important work is
to tie done by the body and it is work
ing at the job night and day.
Take the legislature as a whole it
would be hard to find a more typical and
better body of men assembled any
where in the state. It is amply worth
any man’s white to visit the legislature
Jn action.
CAMP FIRE GIRLS OFF TO
NACOOCHEE WEDNESDAY.
Tin- local Campfire girls, headed by
Mrs. Pual S. Roberts, left for Nueooche
Wednesday for p camp of a week in
and among the mountains where tney
will gallop, prance and play hide and
seek with the birds, goats, trees and
gambol with nature.
Mrs. Roberts anti these girls are very
grateful to the people of Winder who
attended their benefit picture and the
benefit party and made it possible for
them to make this trip. Each girl is re
quired to earn the money to pay for
the expenses of this camp.
Mrs. Roberta hinted to theritor of
this paper that they would he glad to
’.se any Winder people up for the week
end with a basket filled with delicious
viands.
Combined Ages of Six
Old People 435 Years
! Mr. and Mrs. Hiram I*. Stanton had
I as their dinner guests Monday Mr. and
Mrs. Cunningham of Bartow county;
Mrs. Phipps of LaFayette, Ga., Aunt
Sue Bradley, of this city. At the din
ner table the question arose as to the
ages of the guests and host and Ims
tes, and. it was discovered that the
'.combined ages were 455 years, as fol
lows: Aunt Sue Bradley Ml, Mrs.
Phipps 7.’!, Mr Cunningham 77. Mrs.
CunniiAtliani 7-7. 11. P. Stdnton (it, and
Mrs. Stanton o.’!.
HINES AND FISH
BROTHERS-IN-LAW
Probably it is not known by*the i>eo
ple of Georgia that Chief Justice Wil
liam 11. Fisti and Justice James K.
Hines are brothers-in-law. And both
are members of the same division of the
Supreme Court. So. as it now stands,
one family controls one division of this
court. We doubt the wisdom of such a
state of affairs. In fact, we are op
posed to it. It doesn’t make any dif
ference how high-toned and honest men
arc, it is an unwise procedure for one
family to control the functions of a
court.
We understand that Judge Hines is
very active In supporting Judge Fish,
bis brother-in-law, for re-election. 'lnis
is to l<c expected, of course, but we feel
sure that the people will think a long
time before they turn one division of
tftcir highest tribunal over to one fam
ily.
Judge Richard B. Russell is an ex
alted jurist, thoroughly qualified to fill
the position of Chief Justice of the Su
preme Court, and we believe that, he
ought to he elected,. “Plain Dick”
Russell made a splendil record as Judge
Of Appeals. He has no superior as a
judicial officer in the state, and we be
lieve the people are going to place him
on the Supreme Court bench.

MRS. H.D. JACKSON
DIED SATURDAY
Winder Loses One of Its Best and No
blest Women After A Long Life
of Service and Usefulness.
In the death of Mrs. Mary Susan
Jackson consort of Mr/ 11. I). Jackson,
on last Saturday afternoon, sadness
came over our entire city, for the soul
of one of our best and noblest of wom
en had taken its flight for the home be
yond where the pure and the good live
on forever freefTMrom the toils, the
sorrows and sufferings which comes
into the lives of all of us during the
brief existence on this earth.
Mrs. Jackson belonged to the old
school of womanhood, a womanhood
whose ideals of service, love of home
and loyalty and devotion to family
and to religion made a civilization for
our country the brightest and most en
nobling the world has ever known.
Mrs. Jackson was born December 18,
1845 and her maiden name was Mary
Susan Griffeth, daughter of Edward
L. W. and Virginia Griffeth. She was
married to Mr. Hillman L. Jackson on
April 5, 1806, at her father’s home in
Floyd county. By this marriage nine
children were horn, three of whom died
some years ago: William Frances, Mer
cer Wales, and Hartwell Meeks. The
six children surviving her are Edgar
K., Hillman D., Jr., of this city and
Walter L. of Orlando. Florida: and
Mrs. Alice Dunn, Mrs. George A. Johns,
and Mrs. Ben A. Julian, of this city.
There are also eighteen living grand
children and eleven great grand chil
dren.
She leaves four brothers and three
sisters living: Mr. M. J. Griffeth, of this
city, Mr. R. E. Griffeth of Ada, Okla.,
and Messrs <’. W. and G. W. Griffeth,
Decatur, Texas; Mrs. Alice Stanton,
of Winder; Mrs. M. M. Cunningham,
Adairsville; and Mrs. J. P. Phipps, of
LaFayette, Ga.
She confessed her Savior and united
with Chapel Christian church fifty-five
years ago and remained a member
there until the organization of the
Winder Christian church of which she
wn s one of the charter members.
She was a truly devout and conse
crated Christian and few can be found
more loyal than she was to her church
and to all of its obligations.
The funeral service was conducted
at the Winder Christian church last
Sunday afternoon by her present pas
tor, Rev. E. I/. Shelnutt, her former
pastor of many years, Rev. John H.
Wood, of Rome, and Rev. J. F. Jack
son, of Atlanta, who spoke touchingly
of the patience of Mrs. Jackson during
th<- seven years she was confided to her
bed. A large concourse of sorrowing
relatives and friends paid their trib
ute of love to this good woman after
which her body was laid to rest in
Rose Hill cemetery, covered with beau
tiful flowers from loving hands in mem
ory of one whose long life had enrich
ed so many and whose example will
live for ages to come. .
