and THE BARROW TIMES
Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, October 26, 1922.
In Memorv of Richard
Jackson Pentecost
On Thursday evening of September
21st, 1922, the spirit of Richard Jack
son Pentecost crossed over the river to
be with loved ones gone on bef ire. He
had been failing for several months;
his appetite gave way several months
before ami with that characteristic
spirit and of nature, he
stood up and even walked three days
before the end came.
His last nine months here were sure
ly the sweetest among his whole eighty
five years, being perfectly resigned and
so patient—just waiting for the Mas
ter’s call. And in his last hours he
realized the end was here and l>eing
conscious of every move and recog
nizing all, he said he was happy for
us not to grieve for him as there was
nothing we could do to help him then;
but, if as nearly, as possible, to live
right and hold to our Christian duties.
His will was for the children to take
up where he left off.
Oh! his life was so beautiful. His
family certainly has a heritage and an
inheritance that can he said of but few
families. He had noble blood, had
property for his own,.
He began life after serving four
years in the civil war, in poverty and
by his ambitious spirit, striving, sav
ing and right living he made a fortune.
Not with his knowledge did he ever
take a penny that was not his own. It
can he beautifully said of him he help
ed more men in different ways, espe
cially to own their homes than any
man that ever lived in this part of the
state. He made no show ami most all
favors were done without publication,
and he 1 could be compared to the trail
ing arbutus —it climbs around so mod
estly and has the sweetest fragrance
of any flower.
He was one whom any one could meet
and after seeing felt better for having
seen them, as his presence and even
the nod or shake of his hand meant
more than a speech from some. His
counsel and advice were worth so
much and have beeu sought regularly’
by his friends and children.
There will never be another missed
any more. Surely children and neigh
bors never felt a greater loss and his
passing has left an emptiness in fam
ily, community and church that no one
else can fill. We have just wondered
by such a life as he lived and such a
happy passing as his would any one
have more stars in their crown than
he?
One of the family’s best friends.

Singing at Bethlehem
An Enjoyable Occasion
A most enjoyable occasion was the all
day singing at Bethlehem last Sunday.
It was the first anniversary of the or
ganization of the singing class of that
section and a good crowd was in at
tendance. Many singers were present
and Prof. J. L. Moore, who had charge
of the exercises saw to it that every
body enjoyed the day. A tine dinner
was spreaid (fr the lfawn near the
church at the noon hour which was one
of the best dinners we have ever seen.
The good people of Bethlehem and sur
rounding community are among the
most hospitable folk that we have ev
er seen.
Many from Winder were present and
enjoyed the day. Among them was ye
editor, and he wishes to thank the fine
singers for the splendid day of enjoy
ment given us.
Honest Mail Clerks.
The men that handle the mails he
tween Bethlehem and Winder are hon

Adams, gf Bethlehem, mailed the News
a dollar bill last week with a string
tied around it to which was attached
a tag on which was the address of this
paper. The bill was exposed, was not
registered or insured, hut came as or
dinary mail. We received the SI 00 all
right. Doctor, and thank you fr it.
Judging from the expression at the

Your neighbor’s home burned only a few days or months ago and a cyclone
is likely to strike this section at any time, so INSURE with US and lie down
at night with a clear conscience and a peaceful mind. Don’t DELAY. It may
mean the loss of your home. Any man can build a home once. A WISE man
insures his property in a reliable insurance company so that when calamity
comes he can build again. He owes the protection that it gives, to his peace
of mind and the care of his lovedones.
