THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON. GEORGIA. FRIDAY, —APRIL .
that would have discouraged most
men, he kept the faith and worked
for what he deemed was right.
Though seventy-eight years old, he
kept young in spirit through his love
of his fellow man, and especially of
young people. He was a great ad
mirer of children and almost every
child in the community knew him by
his name and had a word of greeting
and cheer for him as he passed along
the street.
His character and integrity was
above reproach. He was trusted by
all who knew him, and was one of
those rare individuals in whose hands
ten millions or ten billion dollars were
as safe as in the strong box of the
national treasury. “An honest man is
the noblest work of God” is an ap
pelation that describes his character.
He was as tender as a child, as mod
est as a young girl, and no obscene
joke or profane language was ever
heard to escape his lips.
He was temperate in his habits and
speech. He worked and worshipped
with equal regularity. To a remark
able degree he possessed the faculty
of patience. Fortitude and courage
marked his life. He never spoke of
j his troubles to others and unkind crit
; icism he did not indulge in.
The funeral services were held
from the home Sunday afternoon at
three o’clock and were attended by a
large number of friends. Delegations
from the First Baptist church, the
Baptist Sunday School, the Confed
erate Veterans and county officers at
tended. The services were conducted
by Dr. Robert VanDeventer, assisted
by Rev. S. R. England of the Meth
odist church. Short talks on his life
and character were made by Hon. J.
Threatt Moore, representing the town
and county; Mr. F. S. Etheridge, rep
resenting the First Baptist church,
and Prof. W. P. Martin, representing
the First Baptist Sunday School,
j Many tributes of flowers, which he so
much loved were sent by friends and
the First Baptist church, First Bap
tist Sunday School, Daughters of the
American Revolution and Daughters
I of the Confederacy. The pallbearers
| were Messrs. J. T. Moore, J. C. Jones
and J. W. Hencely, representing the
city of Jackson and First Baptist
church, and Messrs. J. 0. Gaston,
Hugh Mallet and J. H. Ham, repre
senting the county officers. The body
was laid to rest in the Jackson Cem
etery.
The surviving relatives are his wife
and companion for fifty-one years who
was Miss Emma Williams Dick
son before her marriage; one
daughter, Mrs. J. D. Jones; one son,
Mr. W. D. Jolly; four grandchildren,
I Joseph Howard Jolly, U. S. Marine
Corps, Miss Mildred Jolly of Atlanta,
Palmer Jolly and Joseph Doyle Jones,
who bears his name.
“His work well done,
His race well run,
His crown well won,
i Here let him rest.”
CIVIL WAR LETTER SHOWS
FOOD WAS SCARCE THEN
Mr. J. R. Goodman has in his pos
session a letter written by his father,
James A. Goodman, just a feva days
before the close of the civil war. It
was written on April 4, from Smith
field, N. C., and Lee’s surrender fol
lowed soon after. On account of the
present war conditions the letter will
be of considerable interest, and is as
follows:
Near Smithfield, N. C.,
April 4, 1865.
Dear Wife:
As I have an opportunity of send
ing you a letter, I take pleasure in
writing. This will inform you that I
am well at present, though I have
been a little sick while on the march.
We are having hard old times at pres
ent but little to eat. I am anxious to
hear from you. I wrote a letter to you
about two weeks ago. Hope you have
received it by this time.
Our company has been in two hard
fights, one on the 16th and one on
the 19th March. Lieut. Halstead and'
Taylor Adair of our company were
killed on the 16th at Averysboro. All

Girls Make This Cheap
Beauty Lotion to Clear and
Whiten Your Skin
Squeeze the juice of two lemons
into a bottle containing three ounces
of orchard white, shake well, and
you have a quarter pint of the best
freckle and tan lotion, and complex
ion beautifier, at very, very small
cost.
Your grocer has the lemons and
any drug store or toilet counter will
supply three ounces of orchard white
for a few cents. Massage this sweetly
fragrant lotion into the face, neck,
arms and hands each day and see
how’ freckles and blemishes disap
pear and how clear, soft and white
the skin becomes. Yes! It is harmless

Water Softened With
Red Devil Lye
Cleans everything instantly. Soft
water makes washing easy, and just
a little Red Devil Lye in a tub of
hard water softens it like rain-water.
With Red Devil wash water you
use less than half the soap and the
daintiest fabrics will be whiter than
usual —with little or no rubbing
it’s the rub that ruins.
Works Wonders
throughout the home. It will keep
bath-tubs, wash bowls, toilets and
kitchen sinks white, clean and sani
tary. It whitens and removes grease
spots from floors, windows, tile or
marble, and does the household
dirty work in a hurry without
trouble and with little expense.
Red Devil Lye also makes won
derful soap, peels peaches in a jiffy.
!t is the real housekeeper’s friend.
Ask Your Grocer. Save the Labels.

is quiet at present. Old Sherman
seems to be satisfied for a while. We
rather whipped him out at both fights.
I am very anxious for this war to
close. We have some peace rumors
from Richmond but nothing reliable.
I don’t know where we will go next.
Home I hope, but no chance for that.
The boys are generally well. We don’t
have but little to eat these times. We
only draw meal and no meat. It is
poor living. I don’t know hovo long
it will last. I will close for this time.
Write soon,
As ever, your affectionate husband,
JAMES A. GOODMAN.
