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. PREACHING AT MIDWAY Rev. George R.

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.
