CAPT. F. L. WALTHALL
FALLS ON FINAL SLEEP
Well Known Citizen Pated Away
Tueaday Morning
The death of Captain Felix L. Wal
thall occurred at his home in Jackson
shortly after 6 o’clock Tuesday morn
ing. The passing of this well known
citizen brought deep regret to a wide
circle of friends and admirers, who,
however, were not surprised at his
going, as he had been in feeble health
for some time. He had not been well
since the past winter and recently had
been confined to his home most of the
time. Old age an da general break
down wag responsible for his demise.
Bom February 29, 1836, Captain
Walthall was 82 years old. He had
but few birthdays, despite his advanc
ed age, the 29th of February coming
only during leap year. A native of
Newton county, Capt. Walthall had
resided most of his life in Butts,spend
ing a few years in Polk county after
the war. He was engaged in business
for a while, and was interested in
farming, but recently had lived quiet
ly at his Jackson home.
He belonged to a prominent family
of the county, and was the last sur
viving representative. He was a gen
tleman of the old school and passion
ately loved the old South and all its
traditions. He had occupied many po
sitions of trust and responsibility,
having represented Butts county in
the general assembly in the 80’s. He
had a distinguished war record, hav
MOTHER! DON’T TAKE
CHANGES IF CHILD’S
TONGDE IS COATEO
If Cross, Feverish, Sick, Bil
ious, Clean Little Liver
and Bowels
A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty
their bowels, which become clogged
up with waste, liver gets sluggish,
stomach sour.
Look at the tongue, Mother! If
coated, or your child is listless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't
aat heartily, full of cold or has sore
throat or any other children’s ail
ment, give a teaspoonful of “Califor
nia Syrup of Figs,” then don’t worry,
because it is perfectly harmless, and
in a few hours all this constipated
poison, sour bile and fermenting
waste will gently move out of the
bowels, and you have a well, playful
child again. A thorough “inside
cleansing” is ofttimes all that is nec
essary. It should be the first treat
ment given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a bot
tle of “California Syrup of Figs,”
which has full directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly printed on the bottle. Look
carefully and see that it is made by
the “California Fig Syrup Company.”

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1918
ing been captain of Cos. I, Thirtieth
Georgia regiment, known as the
“Butts Invincibles.” He served in the
western army and was a good soldier,
respected and honored by his men.
He was commander of Camp Barnett
U. C. V. fo rseveral years, retiring
voluntarily the past year.
Having lost all his property in the
liberation of the slaves, Capt. Wal
thall set about to help rebuild his be
loved country. His was a brilliant
mind. He was widely read and was
well informed on all matters of his
tory and current topics. He knew the
history and traditions of Butts coun
ty as but few men know them. Capt.
Walthall wrote a sketch of
his life, which is in large part a his
tory of the county’s growth and de
velopment for the past fifty years.
This history was never published,
though it is highly prized by members
of the family.
Capt. Walthall possessed a likeable
personality and had a host of friends.
Until recently he never lost his grip
on men and evnts and displayed the
rarest interest in the happenings
about him. Having far passed the
age of three score and ten, Capt.
Waltahll expressed a perfect willing
ness to go. Many of his comrades in
arms, boyhood friends and close asso
ciates had preceded him and having
caught the echoes from the shadow
land he was ready for the final call
that summoned him to sleep.
Capt. Walthall was married three
times. His wife, who was Miss Nannie
Gresham before her marriage, and
seven children survive him. The chil
dren are: Raymond Walthall, Mrs.
Annie House and Mrs. Mamie Garner,
of Birmingham; Mrs. Estell LaGuinn,
of Broxton, La.; Mrs. J- B. Moore, of
Baxley, Ga.; Messrs. Ed and Emmett
Walthall, of Atlanta.
Funeral services viere held at the
(Methodist church Wednesday and
many friends gathered for a last trib
ute. Rev. S. R. England conducted
the impressive services, following
which the body was laid to rest in the
Jackson cemetery.
Asa man who had been a construc
tive force for good in the community,
who had served his county and his
fellow citizens ably and well, Capt.
Walthall will be missed. He went in
the consciousness of duty well done,
and having wrapped the drapery of
his couch about him lay down to
pleasant dreams.

COL. OGDEN PERSONS
VISITOR IN JACKSON
Spent Monday Here in Interest of
Probable Candidacy
In the interest of his probable can
didacy from the sixth district against
Hon. J. W. Wise, Hon. G. Ogden Per
sons, of Forsyth, was a visitor here
Monday. While in the county he met
and talked with a number of voters
and spent the time trying to form a
correct estimate of his strength. Mr.
Persons, it was stated, was given as
surances of support by a large body
of voters.
Mr. Persons is a well known public
man, having been president of the
Georgia state senate. He is a well
known business man and hanker of
Forsyth and is well known over the
district, being a native of Jasper
county but has resided in Monroe
county for several years.
He thinks he has an excellent
chance of carrying Monroe, Bibb,
Jones, Jasper, Crawford, Upson and
possibly Butts and Spalding counties.
Mr. Persons states that he’ has re
ceived many encouraging assurances
of support from all parts of the dis
trict.
The nomination this year will be
by popular vote, in lieu of the county
unit system which has been in force
in this district for some time.
A WORD FOR MOTHERS
It is a grave mistake for mothers to
neglect their aches and pains and suffer
in silence —this only leads to chronic
sickness and often shortens life .
If work is tiring, if your nerves are
excitable, if you feel languid, weary or
depressed, Scott’s Emulsion will
prove a wonderful strengthener.
It possesses the very elements to
invigorate the blood, nourish the
nerves and build strength.
Every druggist has Scott’s. Try it.
