MRS. J. N. McELHFNNEY
IS CLAIMED BY DEATH
Following a period of ill health
extending over fourteen months,
Mrs. J. N. McElhenney, one of
Butts county’s most prominent and
beloved women, died at her home
on the Griffin road Thursday morn
ing at 4:30 o’clock. She had been
critically ill for several days and
news of her passing did not occa
sion surprise, but came as a shock
to a wide circle of friends here and
over the state.
Mrs. jVlcElhenney became ill more
than a year ago and had undergone
treatment and an operation at a
private sanitarium, but the best of
medical skill and nursing failed to
arrest the disease.
Mrs. McElhenney, a life long resi
dent of Butts county, had a very
large circle of friends who admired
her many noble traits. She was a
woman of great industry and for
many years had been a faithful and
tireless worker in the annual county
fairs and served with the utmost
zeal during the centennial celebra- j
tion. She was interested in poultry,
in home economics and everything j
that meant the progress of the com
munity and county. For many years
Mrs. McElhenney was a regular ex
hibitor at the county, district and
state fairs and had a large num
ber of winnings to her credit. She
possessed a charming personality
and won and held friends by the
warmth of her heart and mind. Mrs.
McElhenney was a faithful member
of Towaliga Baptist church and
showed much interest in religious
affairs. She was truly a gooci wom
an and will be missed in the home
and community.
Mrs. McElhenney was connected
with a prominent Butts county fam
ily and was Miss Wiilie Mae Collins
before marriage. She is survived by
her husband, Mr. -J. N. McElhenney; |
three sons, Frank, Willis ar.d Oiin
McElhenney; her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. J. M. Collins, the former coun
ty surveyer of Butts county; two
brothers, Mr. J. Walter Collins, o,
Macon, and Prof. T. J. Collins,
teacher in the Tech High School,
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-A RGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
Atlanta.
Funeral services were held at
Fellowship church Friday afternoon
at 2 o’clock and a great concourse
of friends gathered for a last tri
bute of love and respect. Dr. I. G.
Walker, of Atlanta, and Rev. W. S.
Adams, of Jackson, conducted the
impressive service. Hon. W. F. Hud
dleston, chairman of the Butts
Count# Board of Education and a
lifelong friend, paid the deceased
a lofty and feeling tribute, point
ing to her many admirable traits,
her high Christian character, her
love for her family and her good
works in the community. The lovely
floral offerings attested the esteem
of relatives and friends.
Interment was in the ceihetery at
Fellowship church.

000,000 persons in the United Stat
es had a total income in 1926 of
$90,000,000,000, an increase of
approximately $27,000,000,000, or
more than 43 per cent, in the five
years since 1921.
The bureau’s figures reveal an
increase in the nation’s income for
each year since 1921 when a to
tal of $2,000,000,000 was recorded.
It increased $3,000,000,000 in 1925
and $3,000,000,000 in 1926, when
a total of $89,862,000,000 was
earned. The same increase holds
true for the average capita income
which in 1921 was $1,637 compar
ed with $2,210 in 1926.
“This great increase in income is
not the result of an increase in
the price level,” the bureau said,
“for the average price of consumed
goods was actually slightly less in
1926 than in 1921.”
