J. A. LITTLEJOHN,
CRISP SUPERIOR
CLERK, IS DEAD
BARNESVILLE, Ga., April 16.—J. A.
Littlejohn, of Cordele, clerk of the Su
perior court of Crisp county since the
county was organized, a<id brother of
Judge Z. A. Littlejohn, of Americus,
died here at the home of his sister
in-law, Mrs. C. H. Morris, after a brief
illness, having come to this city re
cently with the hope of improving his
health which failed about two years
ago. The funeral and burial took
place from the Methodist church here
this afternoon, the service conducted
by the pastor, Rev. Frank Quillian.
Mr. Littlejohn was 66 years old. He
formerly lived • here, but years ag<
moved to Dooly county. When Crisp
county was formed he was made clerk
of the Superior court of the new coun
ty and had held the office ever since.
Mr. Littlejohn is survived by his
widow, one daughter, Mrs. W. A. Mor
ris, of Cordele, and one son, Jesse
Littlejohn, who has just returned from
service in France. He had been ill
for a long time and had been his ex
pressed wish to live only until the re
turn of his son.
His sisters are Mrs. John W’. Yal
ters, of Cordele; Mrs. Turner Hughes,
of Statesboro; Mrs. Hardin Sapp, of
Columbus, and Mrs. Robert Wynne, ol
Eastman. 11l
CAME TO AMERICUS
WITH PASTOR FATHER.
CORDELE, April 16.—Joseph A. Lit
tlejohn, clerk of the Superior court of
Crisp county since the county was or
ganized, who died at Barnesville, had
suffered for several years from a trou
ble which in his last years became
more apparent in its inroads, and a
short time ago he suffered a stroke
of paralysis. From this he never fully
recovered. Four days ago he knew his
end was near and he summoned mem
bers of the family.
Mr. Littlejohn was born in South
Carolina 67 years ago, while his father
was in that state preaching under a
transfer for a short time. Later the
family came back to Georgia, and the
father preached in the North Georgia
conference. Soon he was transferred
to the South Georgia conference and
remained many years at Americus
after his most active service was over.
His father died in 1885.
Mr. Littlejohn came to Cordele in
the early days, when the town was
quite a village. He was first city clerk
for a brief period, and when the new
county of Crisp was organized he be
came clerk of the Superior court. He I
held the place continuously till his
death.
■ While he was a teacher in Barnes
ville forty years ago he married Miss
Leila Middelbrooks. Mrs. Littlejohn
with two children, Jesse and Mrs. W.
A. Morris survive him.

How Advertising
Saved a Business
A man who may be called John Jones, because that wasn’t his name, made:
mighty good plows for a certain type of farmer, ,
The plow had been invented by John’s grandfather, who supplied his near neighbors, manufac
turing the implement in a crude, homely way.
John’s father had put up a little more modern factory and from it turned out plows enough to
supply the farmers of several counties in the immediate vicinity.
When the business came into his hands, John detCffnined that it should be a monument to father
and grandfather ai)d something he could hand down to his children with pride.
Things went well for a time, but after a while the farmers of the part of the country in which
Juries’ plows had been sold were forced to change their methods and grow other crops than those
in cultivating which these implements were useful.
At first John was pretty badly discouraged by this turn in his affairs, but he soon made up his mind
there was away out and wrote to the publisher of his favorite farm paper for advice. The reply
advised Jones to go to see the Brown and Smith Advertising Agency, in a not far-distant city.
John Jones never had advertised and knew nothing of advertising agencies, but he went to see the
Brown and Smith people. T hey found out fanning conditions still were favorable to the use of
Jones’ plows, helped John to get dealer agents in that territory and prepared advertisements for
the farm journals and newspapers which covered it.
That was only a few years ago, but now John Jones is making and selling more plows in a week
than his father did in a month or his grandfather in a year. And advertising has so reduced his
selling costs that even in times of high-priced materials and labor he has been able to lower prices
without cutting down his legitimate manufacturing profit.
Your problem may not be of the same nature as that which confronted Jones, but if it has
to do with sales there is a part for advertising to play in solving it. Any one or all of the
advertising agencies of the South, named below, will be glad to advise you about the appli
cation of advertising to your business, free of charge and without obligation on your part.
