William A. Cook
Dies In Atlanta
The death of Mr. William A.
Cook, 65 years of age, longtime res
ident of Butts county, occurred Mon
day morning at 11:30 at the home
of his son, W. G. Cook, in Atlanta.
Death followed an illness of eight
week and a period of declining
health extending over several
months.
Mr. Cook was born in Jasper
county July 28, 1873, a son of Ben
jamin W. Cook and his wife, Miche
Noles Cook. In 1903 he moved to
Butts county and had resided here
since that time, making many
friends among the people of his
adopted county. He was a member
of England’s Chapel Methodist
church and took an active interest
in religious affairs and movements
for the good of his community and
section.
Surviving relatives are two sons,
William G. Cook, of Atlanta, and
L. H. Cook, of Porterdale; two bro
thers, J. M. Cook, of Monticello, and
B. A. Cook, of Jackson; several
nieces and nephews and two grand
children.
Funeral services were held Tues
day afternoon at 2 o’clock at Worth
ville Baptist church. Rev. G. H.
Stone, pastor of the Jenkinsburg
Methodist church, conducted the ser
vices, attended by a large number
of relatives and friends. The love
ly floral offerings attested the es
teem in which this widely known
citizen was held. Pallbearers were
Hulon Cook, Fred Cook, R. W. Cook,
Settle Cook, Odell Cook and Lane
Cook.
Interment was in the churchyard,
with Thornton Funeral Home in
charge of arrangements.
The first moving picture theatre

JACKSON AND GRIFFIN MEET
HERE TUESDAY NIGHT IN FEA
TURE GAME OF SEASON.
HAMPTON DEFEATS JACKSON
■Jackson High engages Fayetteville
High School here Saturday night
February 11, in next to the last
home game for the local basketeers.
However, the highlight of the season
from a local standpoint is the meet
ing here Tuesday night, February
14, between Jackson and Griffin, at
which time the Red and Black will
strive valiantly to revenge the de
feats handed them earlier by Griffin
teams which have enjoyed none too
much success this season.
Jackson’s invasion of Hampton
Saturday night ended disastrously
for both the boys and girls. The
deadly shooting of Lovern, Hampton
center, as in previous contests, prov
ed too much for the Jackson girls,
so they went down to a modest 28-13
defeat. The boys, however, found
their basketball fortunes looking up
and lost eventually by the baseball
score of 6-9.
Lovern, showing her accustomed
wizardy at goal getting, had 20
points to show for her efforts, which
were more than sufficient to win.
Scoring among the other Hampton
girls was about evenly divided.
Hazel Jackson led the Jackson of
fense with five markers and was
closely followed by Mary Ruth
Thurston and Margaret Sams with
four points each.
Paine, forward of Hampton, hit
the basket for three field goals to
garner six tallies and scoring honors
for the night in the boy’s encounter.
Pete Taylor with half Paine’s num
ber led the point gathering for
Jackson. Only five field goals were
made the entire game with Hampton
getting four and Jackson one.

from cover to cover; and I believe
the cover,” Miss Eiehedberger said
in teaching this course on the Bible.
She said also, among other things,
that God will guide, but he does not
guide objects which are not moving;
that God’s whipping machine is
spelled ‘s-a-t-a-n;’ and that God rules
in the history of the human race,
but the devil often supplies the de
tails because he is trying to defeat
God’s plans.
The Junior Department of the
Sunday school led in the attend
ance record Sunday morning, Feb.
5, and the Intermediate Depart

accepted reason why every home should have telephone
service is because the convenience and protection it is worth
more than its low cost.
Convenience? Of course. Consider the trips it saves, the in
numerable times you and your family will use it for social and
business reasons. Consider, too, that the many times others will
call you also contribute to the value of the service.
Protection? Yes. The police or fire departments—the doctor—
your neighbors and friends—are but seconds away by telephone.
The cost of telephone service is only a few cents a day. For
information about the service, just get in touch with the telephone
Business Office, or ask any telephone employe.

“I have now disposed of all my
property to my family,” read the
last paragraph of a great man’s will.
“There is one more thing I wish I
could give them, and that is the
Christian religion. If they had that,
and I had not given them one shil
ling, they would be rich; and if they
had not that, and I had given them
all the world, they would be poor.”
Thus did Patrick Henry, the great
American patriot, give testimony to
the value of the Christian religion.
