home is situated about a mile south of
the Ocmulgee river and at that time
was a part of Telfair county.
About 1869 William Dent, the elder,
and all his family moved to Coffee
county and settled about one mile west
from where Mr. T. H. Dent lived and
died. Mr. Dent brought all his family
with him which consisted of William
Henry Dent, the preacher, Carrie Dent
Jospehine Dent, Mary Dent had mar-

ried and was left behind, Thomas H.
Dent, Miss Georgia Dent, Robert H.
Dent, Miss Nealy Dent, and Joshua
Dent. This large and intelligent fam
ily entered at once into the social and
business life of the community. They
were all church people, and soon, un
der their influence and help the Sand
Hill Baptist churcn was constituted.
The Dent’s built a saw mill, grist mill,
cotton gins and did some farming.
January the 4th, 1872, Mr. Thomas
H. Dent married Miss Queen Anne
Nabb, who at the time lived at Hazie
hurst, Ga. After a short time they
built a home, “a little love nest”, and
went to work. They were prosperous
in business and as the farm enlarged
and property increased, the family also
increased. The children born to them
were Ursula, Will, John, Lemuel, Fish
er and Lester. Mr. and Mrs. Dent
gave all their children a good educa
tion and trained them to be moral and
industrious. They are all successful
in business and are good citizens. No
greater credit can come to a father
than the fact that he has reared a
good family, Mr. Dent was content to
rear his family at the old home nest
where he lived for more than fifty
years. He was active in all things
that made his community a good place
to live. He was active in school and
crurch work. He was a deacon in the
Sand Hill Baptist church for nearly
fifty years. He was a good farmer,
ran a saw mill and was an all-round
good citizen.
Mr. Dent was an honorable man in
all his relations to life. He was a
good father and husband, a good neigh
bor, a good church member and an
ideal citizen. He lived a long and
useful life. At the age of 76 he “Fell
asleep in Jesus.” They say he died
Saturday, June the sth, 1926, sur
rounded by all his family. But he is
not dead. The Good Books says “He
that liveth and believeth shall never
die”. He was a believer whose life
bore fruit for the good of humanity
and the glory of God.
Mr. Dent was one of the pioneer cit
izens of Coffee county. He is one of
the last of that wonderful tribe of
men and women to go home. Their
number grows less as the years go by.
We shall never see their like again.
We mourn their loss and seek to do
honor to their memory. We can honor
him most and cherish his memory best
by emaulting the good in his life, and
this may we all do, till we meet again.
Effective But
Simple Dishes

the housewife’s ideal for week-end
dishes.
During the warm summer weather,
women should not be compelled to
spend hours In the preparation of
meals, When minutes would accom

week-end menus should be a congenial
task, not a bore. At this time of the
year there are a variety of nutritious
vegetables and fruits to choose from
In preparing mea'o and the modern
home manager takes advantage of
them. The housewife plans her sum
mer menus so that they will suggest
coolness, while at the same time tak
ing into consideration their dietary
value. A delicious cream soup made
from fresh vegetables, or an omelet, a
fresh fruit dessert, or a custard, a
dish of ice cream, or a pudding, are
nourishing items that should find high
favor In the week-end menu.
The home manager enjoys her week
ends 100 per cent .nore when she has
a few moments of leisure. And in

A Coincidence That Made Brown
9
“You Want a Man Like That ”
Brown was an every day young man around town. Well known, well
Hked. From his small salary he saved a set amount each week. Every
Monday morning he made his deposit; watching small accounts grow into
large figures. It was this saving habit that won for him a good position at
real money.
Brown’s regular appearances at the bank were well known and one day
when a prominent manufacturer needed that type man, Brown was pointed
out.
Regular saving builds confidence in you. A thrifty citizen is a worth
while dependable citizen—in whom others feel safe in placing trust—friend
ship, and whom they are ever willing to employ and to help.
