Promising Crops In Jackson
John Farmer of Jackson county
on the Shady- Creek, says they have
had fine rains and crops are very
promising. This applies to both corn
and cotton. The 'hopper has done
no serious harm and the pest is dis
appearing. Farmer tells us that land
owners on Sandy Creek for several
miles on that stream have cleared
and ditched the broad bottom lands
that had been abandoned for many
years, and have them planted in corn.
Farmer says he reclaimed ten acres
of this land and it is said by all
who have seen it that the corn will
average at least fifty bushels per
acre. The stalks are fifteen feet
high and heavily fruited. There are
some broad flats on this streaiji and
. - t..:ey are brought back into
cultivation farmers will make corn,
wet or dry. Tom Hudson once plant
ed about 75 acres of this bottom in
hay and they made him about $3,000
a year with only the labor of mowing.
He was our first hay raiser.

Mr. A. R. Williamson
Summoned by Death
*
Jefferson was shocked with feel
ings of sorrow and bereavement on
Saturday night, when the news was
received here that Mr. Augustus Ru
pert Williamson had passed away.
His demise occurred at a hospital
in Valdosta, following a short illness.
Mr. Williamson, who held a splen
did traveling position with the Valley
Mills Mfg. Cos., of LaGrange, was
making his usual circuit of the cities
of that section of the state, when
he was taken ill in Valdosta. He was
rushed to the hospital and his par
ents notified of his ‘serious illness,
but before they could go to Val
dosta, a message came telling 6f his
demise. His death was ..caused from,
a complication of troubles that fol
lowed a serious illness here last win
ter of flu-pneumonia. Since that
time, he had been afflicted with a
grave heart and kidney disturbance
that had caused him much concern,
and this was the immediate cause of
his death.
Mr. Williamson was the only son
of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Williamson.
He was born and reared in Jeffer
son, and . was thirty~years of age.
He was educated at Martin Institute
and Emory University, and was one
of the most popular young men ever
living in Jefferson. He had a genial
personality; was affable, gracious
and courteous, and made friends
wherever he went. In his business
life, he met and seiflfed his patrons
with the same that marked
his social life, ana he was successful
to a marked degree. No young man
ever entered life brighter pros
pects' than did Gus Williamson, and
none had more friends to mourn his
untimely death.
His body reached Jefferson Mon
day at noon, and funeral services
were held at the Methodist church
at four o’clock, interment following
in Woodbine cemetery. The services
were conducted by Rev. L. B. Linn.
The choir, composed of Miss Olive
Wills, pianist, Mesdames J. S. Ayers,
J. C. Smith, W. P. Thompson, Guy
Strickland, J. Z. Carter, Messrs. W.
P. Thoihpstm, W. H. Merck, J. Z.
Carter and Will Roberts, sang beau
tifully the songs that were loved by
the deceased, who possessed a won
derful talent for vo.cal music himself,,
and who had so often sung in the
choir that furnished the music for
his burial service. Of the numbers
rendered, one was a beautiful selec
tion that Mr. Williamson sang for
his parents on the occasion of his
last visit to them at their home in
Newnan.
The pall bearers were: M. M. Bry
an, C. T. Storey, Jr., A. H. Moore,
W. T. Bryan, Jr., J. C. Smith, R. D.
Moore, M. L. Mobley, Jr., S. C. Mor
rison.
' Mr. Williamson fv survived’ by iVAs
wife, who was formerly Miss Lillie,
Meldrim . of Darien; by two little
daughters, Sarah and Marian; by his
father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. E.
L. Williamson of Newnan; by one
sister, Mrs. Hugh Dobbs of Atlanta;
by two grandmothers, Mrs. J. L.
Williamson and Mrs. Eliza Jackson.
The body, of Gus Williamson lies
today beneath a mound of beautiful
flowers, sent by loving friends- and
relatives; his spirit has returned to
the God who gave it; his family and
friends are bowed with sorrow and
grief, but in the hearts of every one
who knew him, and having traveled
Georgia extensively his acquaintance
was large, there will ever live a re
membrance of his bright, happy na
ture, his congenial companionship,
his cordial temperament and his po
lite individuality.

Road Board Still
Hearing Requests
For State Mileage
No attention is being paid by the
state highway board to the political
claims made by certain guberna
torial candidates that the board has
only 49 1-2 miles of additional state
highway to allot. Holding that it
has approximately 800 additional
miles to add to the state highway
system the board is going right
ahead with its hearings on the pe
titions of those who desire roads in
cluded.
On Friday the members of the
>ioard will go to Griffin, where they
will hear several petitions. One of
these requests that the road from
Franklin to Hogansville be taken
into the state system and another
urges the inclusion of the road from
Griffin to Columbus.
Thursday the board heard a num
ber of petitions in its rooms atvthe
state capitol. One asked the relo
cation of the road from- Hinton to
Talking Rock so that it would run
from Hinton to Jasper. Another
urged that the road from Homer to
Maysville be given state mainte
nance on January 1, 1927, instead of
on September 10, 1927 as heretofore
agreed. Still another seeks to have
the road from Maysville to the Hall
county line taken over for mainte
nance by the state highway depart
ment.
Several months ago the board
mapped. out a program for the mile
age hearings. It was desired that
every group of citizens who wished
to be heard before allotments ars
made should have an opportunity to
present their claims. The board
also took the position that So many
people are interested in the various
projects that wherever possible it
would be better for the three mem
bers of the board to go to the locali
ties at interest than to require
scores of citizens to go to the ex
pense, and loss of time which a trip
to Atlanta would occasion.—Atlanta
