sound advice.
In his annual address to the con

Tribute to Hon. Hamilton Hogan.
Hon. Hamilton Hogan, who died
at his home in Carrollton, Ga., April
29th, 1911, personally requested
that we, the undersigned, should,
after his death, testify to the world
of his life and character.
We have all known him practi
cally all of our lives, and are pre
pared to speak concerning him in
all respects. Although impelled by
by his many good traits to be his
friends and admirers, we do not be
lieve that our partiality would blind
us to any defects, if any existed, nor
that our friendship would cover any
faults that we might have discov
ered, yet truth compels us to say
that never in all our long intimate
acquaintance did we know or hear
that he ever committed a dishonor
able act, or cherished an ignoble
thought.
As his manhood life was a model
for men, so the struggles and hard
ships through which he reached
man's estate, and his exalted posi
tion among men, present a splendid
object lesson and furnish inspiration
to all young men to practice indus'
try, economy and honesty the while
taking care of their health and mor
als in order, as Hamilton Hogan
did, to live long in the land which
God hath given.
He was bom March 1st, 1820, in
Pendleton district, South Carolina,
of parents who were poor in this
world's goods, but rich and strong
in grace and character. When
young Hamilton was two years of
age his father removed to Haber
sham county, Ga., and in a few
years came on to Coweta county,
Ga., settling on a small farm on
which young Hamilton was com
pelled to work all the time to con
tribute to the support of his father’s
family. Being thus deprived of all
opportunity of attending school, he
reached manhood without any liter
ary education. With his strong
mind, however, he had availed him
self of every opportunity to learn
everything possible from observa
tion and contact with his fellow
man. Many and useful were the
lessons he thus acquired which
proved valuable to him in after life.
The upright and industrious life that
he led through his youth had also
aided him to preserve his health
and develop that rugged constitu
tion, splendid physical force, which
extended his useful life almost to
the century mark.
When he attained his majority,
however, he had learned enough to
suggest to him the necessity of an
education. So he devoted his early
manhood to books, and by his own
efforts, and without the aid of in
structors, prepared himself for a
teacher, and taught school in Car-
roll county until in his 26th year he
met and married Miss Jennie Wat
son, daughter of Tyre Watson. He
immediately settled on a farm in i j^ r
Carroll county, and continued to I n jdh t
farm and live on the farm until he! r

W E believe in made-to-
measure tailoring
for men. It is the only
way to make a man look
as though he had on a suit
belonging to himself.
And it is the only way to
get all the things you
want. You get any style
you wish, any fabric you
wish and you get the fit
you must have. By way
of interest come in and
look over the new Inter
national fabrics. They’ll
strike you as the real
O class.

two years service he was discharged
on account of physical incapacity
to serve longer as a soldier. He re
cuperated rapidly, however, on his
return home, and having recovered
his wonted health re-enlisted and
served until the end of the war.
In 1876 he was elected to the
Georgia Legislature, and was re
elected in 1878. He took high rank
as a legislator, serving four years
with great efficiency and distinction.
The people of Carroll county still
refer with pride to the four years
service in the legislature of Hogan
and Phillips, his colleague being the
Reverend Enoch Phillips.
In 1905 death claimed his wife,
and six years later he followed her
to the glory world. Peace to his
ashes and reverence to his memory.
He was a good man without any
pretence. He was a good neighbor,
and considerate and provident hus
band: a gentle and solicitous father,
a perfect model in the domestic cir
cle if any man can be perfect. He
was liberal without ostentation. He
was honest and earnest without be
ing dogmatic. He was a consistent
member of the M. E. Church, South,
and was a faithful follower of his
blessed Master. He could be relig
ious, and yet acknowledge the re
ligion of people who did not agree
with him on all questions. He was
prompt to respond to all calls of the
church. As a citizen he felt and
promptly met all the demands of
society. By prudence and economy
he amassed considerable property
which he used wisely, and he left
children like unto him who appreci
ate the character and record estab-
li died by their noble father, and
iike him will do their duty to society.
M ay others profit by his trials and
triumphs, and his signal success in
life, emulate his virtues and follow
his noble example.
Affectionately submitted,

W. W. Fitts,
