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.
