CAPTAIN HAMMOND DEAD
Captain William Taylor Hammond,
for many years the genial and pop
ular conductor on the Upson County
Railroad, a branch of the Central,
died at his home in Atlanta Friday.
The body was brought to Barnesville
Sunday afternoon for burial in the
family lot in Greenwood cemetery,
where a large number of friends
gathered, from Barnesville, Thomas
ton, The Rock and other communi
ties of the vicinity, the closing ser
vices being conducted by Rev. H. L.
Edmondson, pastor of the First
Methodist church of Barnesville.
The regular funeral service was held
in Atlanta Sunday morning.
Captain Hammond was for fifty
two years connected with the Cen
tral, and for thirty-eight years he
had been on the Upson branch, nearly
all the time as the conductor. He
retired from active work four or five
years ago, since which time he had
lived in Atlanta.
Captain Hammond was an unusual
ly popular official with the public
with whom he came in contact. He
rendered the company efficient and
faithful service and everybody was
his friend. He was known person
ally to everybody in Bamesville,
Thomaston and along the route of
the Upson railroad and throughout
this section, as well as having a large
acquaintance throughout the state.
President W. A. Winbum of the
Central tendered the use of his pri
vate car to.the family for the trip
from Atlanta to Bamesville and re
turn.
Surviving Captain Hammond are
his wife, Mrs. Anna Chambers Ham
mond; two daughters, Misses Martha
and Mary Kate Hammond, and frfbr
sons, W. C.; J. M. and W. T. Ham
mond, Jr., of Atlanta, and H. H.
Hammond of 4?ew York City.
Honor these Seals
•/ '
A nation-wide movement is carrying on
a warfare against the scourge of Consump
tion. In saving over 100,000 lives last year,
it actually cut the death rate from tuberculosis
in half.
Each year these organizations sell Tuber
culosis Christmas Seals. The proceeds from
these sales are devoted to the work of caring
for and curing tuberculosis patients and to
educational and other work to prevent the
dread disease.
Buy these Seals and urge
your friends to buy and use j>pnjggn|ft
them. To do this is both sfas-graK
Charity and Patriotism. ?ELI
Stamp Out Tuberculosis
with Christmas Seals ■
•
If you are approached, buy as many
Seals as you can, and buy them cheerful
ly—it is a fight against the disease that
took the lives of 2535 of our own Georgia
people last year. And the worst part of
this last fact is that these deaths might
have been prevented if the people had
only known about treating it in time, for
tuberculosis is curable.
)
Your contribution may lessen the dan
ger of tuberculosis attacking you or some
member of your family—buy the cheery
Christmas Seals —your own Christmas
will be jollier and happier if you do.
Every letter and package that goes
into the mail from" Barnesville until
Christmas Day should carry a Christmas
Seal.
BIBLE CLASS MEETING
The Woman’s Bible Class of the
First Baptist church was entertained
at their business and social meeting
on last Thursday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. A. H. McCarty, Mrs.
H. A. Cliett, assistant hostess, Mrs.
C. M. Dunn, president, presiding.
The nominating committee for
election of officers for 1923 recom
mended the re-election of Mrs. J. W.
Reeves as teacher, and Mrs. C. M.
Dunn, president. Their election was
unanimous.
During the social hour the “Belles
and Beaux” of the future, from Miss
Mary Wooten’s Kindergarten, enter
tained the class in a most pleasing
way with readings and songs.
Readings by Mildred McCarty and
John Hoiwell were very much en
joyed.
A delightful salad course with ice,
divinity and salted nuts was served
by Dorothy Tyus and Mildred .Mc-
Carty.
MRS. KNOTT DIES
Mrs. Dana Knott, a beloved woman
of this city, died at her home here
last Friday after a brief illness. She
was well known among the people of
the community and highly respected
by everybody who knew her. She
was 78 years old.
The body of Mrs. Knott was car
ried to Rock Springs church in Chap
pel district and buried last Saturday,
P.ev. J. M. Martin of Bamesville con
ducting the service.
Mrs. Knott is survived by one
daughter, Mrs. J. J. Gunn, and one
son, Mr. Bob Knott, both of this
city, to whom sympathy is extended
in the sorrow occasioned by the
death of their mother.
