IIG000 CITIZEN
PASSES mi
Mr< .Burkett C. Spear, who has
been 'pick at his homo here for
several weeks, died Inst Monday
morning. f
Hg .vas born In Meriwether
county in July 1849, the son of
Mr, and Mrs. William Spear.
At thirty one years of age he
was married to Miss Ola Dozier
in Randolph county, where; they,
lived until a few years ago.
Of thisj union seven children
wereborn, five boys and two
uirjs, viz: Mrs. W. E. Buchanan,
Texas; Mr. Dozier Spear, Savan
nah; Messrs. Ralph, Arthur,
Marvin, Reid and Miss Maty
Spear, Cairo.
At twelve years he joined the
Methodist church. Ilis many
splendid traits of character mark
ed hi n as a man of God. He lov
ed the church, faithfully attend
ed it and supported its institu
dons as far as able. He spoke
freely of lys readiness to meet
God and of how he looked for
ward to his death as the crown
ing day of his history. He was
called to receive his reward at
the age of 65.
After a mo3t touching funeral
service conducted by Rev. W. L.
Wright, at’ bis home Tuesday
morning, his body was laid to
rest in the Cairo cemetery, while
we believe that his soul was re
joicing in tne great re union “on
the other side of the river.”
Mr. Spear and a number of his
family have been residents of our
town for about five years.
We sympathize with the be
reaved ones, the wife and chil
dren, and pray that God wi.
comfort as He: alone can during
this ;sad hour.
MANY BIG
KILUDJND CURED
The recent cold spell brought
joy to the hearts of many Cairo
epicures because of the unusual
supply of Grady county pork
which has been placed on the
maik<?\
Many farmers took advantage
of the cold to kill hogs and hun
dreds'of pounds of the choicest
pork has been dispensed about
this city.
Fortunately for the farmers
the meat supply this year is said
to be large and as a result they
will be in a position to get ready
cash for more of their products.
The markets of the city are tak
ing a great deal of the meat
while many pc unds are being
sold from the wagons direct to
the consumers and at other mar
kets nearby.
With an exceptionally fine crop
of Georgia yams already gather
ed and plenty of com from which
to make Georgia pone, the tine
pork which is being dispensed
will serve to complete an excel
lent every day’s meal for tne
most exacting.
