BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1922
GOOD CITIZEN DEIS
Mr. Charles IT. White, long an
honored and respected citizen of
Barnesville, died at his home on
Thoniaston street Thursday morning,
after an illness of about three
months. From the beginning of his
illness he seemed to give up and while
he did not appear to be very sick or
to suffer much he just seemed to lose
his grip on life and gradually grew
weaker as the days went by\ He
had every possible attention from his
loved ones and physician and many
friends were constantly manifesting
their interest in him, all of which he
deeply appreciated and was constant
ly expressing his appreciation.
Mr. White was 1 8 years old, was
a member of the First Methodist
church and was a devoted member of
Pinta Lodge, F. &A. M. He led an
upright life and was held in high es
teem among the people generally.
He was a Confederate soldier and at
the Memorial day exercises Wednes
day of last week, the day before he
died, he was much missed and the
veterans present inquired lovingly
as to his condition.
For many years Mr. White was
with the Central of Georgia rail-way,
holding different positions along its
lines. For quite a number of years
he had been a familiar figure in
Barnesville, holding different posi
tions with a number of business con
cerns.
The funeral and burial occurred
last Friday from the First Methodist
church, Rev. H. L. Edmondson, the
pastor, conducting the service, and
paying a beautiful tribute to the life
of the beloved citizen. Mr. A. O.
Murphey, a neighbor and friend, who
had long known Mr. White, also
spoke of his virtues < referring par
ticularly to the manner in which he
had reared his children, all of whom
had made honorable records which re
flected great credit on their parents.
The Masons had charge of the clos
ing ceremonies at the grave.
The floral offerings were numerous
and as beautiful as had ever been
seen on any similar occasion here,
attesting the esteem in which Mr.
White and his family were held by
the community.
The body was tenderly laid away
in the Greenwood cemetery.
Mr. White is survived by his wife,
one daughter, Mrs. J. T. Wood of
Valdosta, and two sons, Mr. Leigh
M. White of Savannah, and Mr. C.
H. White, Jr., of Memphis, Tenn.
Mrs. White will probably make her
home in the future with her daugh
ter, Mrs. WoOd.
The people of the entire communi
ty express their deepest sympathy for
the sorrowing loved ones over the
death of this good man and citizen.

A SPLENDID MEETING
The meetings which been in
progress at the First Methodist
church have been productive of great
good to the citizens of Barnesville and
community. Many people have been
stirred and scores of resolutions have
been made for a better life. Large
congregations have attended nearly
all the services, day and night. Many
people from the surrounding com
munities have attended and been
benefitted. Sunday afternoon last a
great mass meeting of men was held
in the Methodist church, when Dr. B.
F. Fraser, who has done some won
derfully strong and impressive
preaching, spoke from the subject of
the “Tragedies of Sin.” He made a
powerful impression and brought a
great blessing to the congregation
of men who heard him. Asa result
of this meeting it was determined to
close all the stores and places of bus
iness in the city for the morning ser
vice, from 9:30 to 10:30, which has
been done all this week. The busi
ness men are to be heartily commend
ed for their co-operation in the move
ment.
Dr. Fraser will return to his home
in Atlanta Friday afternoon but he
will leave hundreds of strong friends
and admirers among the members of
the Methodist church and the other
denominations of the community.
His sermons and labors here have
highly pleased everybody and the
spirit which he has manifested
throughout the meetings has im
pressed the entire community for
good. The hope will be indulged that
he may again come to Barnesville for
a revival service.
Rev. H. L. Edmondson, the earnest
and faithful pastor, will bring the
special services to a close Sunday.
Many have joined the church and un
questionably the church members
and Christian people of the city have
been much blessed and the cause
built up and strengthened by the ser
vices which have been held. It has
been a very successful meeting.

AN ANNOUNCEMENT
In the policy which governs our relations with
our customers, there are three principles
which we believe are vital:
PRICE: The honest pricing of merchan
dise, to allow a fair profit and no
more;
QUALITY: Dependable goods, backed by
the responsibility of a national
manufacturer;
SERVICE: A sincere attention to the indi
vidual, which subordinates sell
ing to service.
In putting these principles above all others,
we must depend for success on your apprecia
tion of fair dealing. Will you not give us an
opportunity to vindicate our policy?
