LITTLE JOSIE BANKSTON
IS CALLED HOME.
Bright Daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Joel Bankston Yields After
Hard Fight.
Little Josie Bankston died at an
Atlanta Sanitarium Tuesday night
at 8:45 o’clock.
She had been sick but little
more than a week, having been
stricken with appendicitis the
first of last week. Her par
ents quickly carried her to At
lanta, where an operation was
performed. But the most skilful
attention and the most loving
ministrations of the fond parents
and sympathetic nurses were all
in vain.
Though but ten years of age,
little Josie was one of the town’s
favorites of its children and the
people of McDonough join the
parents and brothers and sisters
in mourning.
The remains were brought to
McDonough Wednesday morning.
The Rev. Olin King conducted
the funeral at the Methodist
church on Thursday morning at
11 o’clock, and the interment was
in the McDonough cemetery.
She is survived by her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Joel Bankston; one
sister, Miss Donia Bankston: and
three brothers; Mr. Ben Bankston,
of East Point, and little Charles
and Parker Bankston.

Well, Happy Happenings you
surely did give the church mem
bers a grand talk last week; for
that is the way of it these days.
The church members wont go to
church and it is disheartening for
a preacher to go and preach with
out any of the members there, in
place of the members, saying get
ready, children, for we are all go
ing to church this morning, but
instead of that the members will
stay at home and the children
will gather together and ramble
the creek swamps over,

Happy Happenings, you are
exactly right about people talking
too much before children. We
should teach them to speak well
of everybody and, if they can’t do
that, not to speak at all; but we
are all too guilty of always being
ready to say something against
some one else. If we will get self
right everybody else will be
right. Let’s teach ourselves and
children to do that. If we will,
we will all get on much better
here and in the hereafter.
