MR JOrfN R. PRICE
.■ ■i ENTERS INTO REST.
i 'i* • "-.
Prominent and Upright Citizen
Of Sixth District Died Sun
day Night.
Dr. John R. Price died at his
home in Ih*-* Sixth district Sunday
night at 8 15 o’clock.
While he had been confined to
his bed for many weeks and had
been in feeble health for several
years, he was stricken with in
firmities of age more than with
anv particular disease.
Dr Price was 83 years of age,
and illustrated in the fullest sense
of the gentle word the gentleman
of the old South. His life, extend
ing beyond the allotted three
score and ten into this age of ex
pediency and materialism, was as
the dear dead flowers of other
days now passed coming again in
to life and blossom to bless and in
spire such of those of this day and
time whose hearts were the re
ceptive soil and atmosphere for
the flower’s nurture.
‘ He was rrot of the nature which
seeks public notice and yet
the county possessed no more
public spirited citizen than he. The
great fraternity of Masons was
ever honored with his member
ship and his life illustrated the
virile and the beauty of its pre
cepts and practices. He held
many different offices in the or
ganization and all with credit to
himself and profit to his order.
Though of the retiring nature
as he was, he delighted in ex
tending the hospitality of his
home to a wide circle of his
friends who hailed from many
sections of this and other States.
He and hi£, pharmingly pleasant
and cultured family always kept
open house at “Rural Retreat
and none ever left without • the
inspiration of the grace and glow
of the good fellowship as well as
4.hje genial hospitality which ra
*d:ijded! from' that home. They
Treated every guest of what
ever station as a nobleman be
cause it was of their nature not to
know how to dispense any other
treatment.
The world is' made mellower
and sweeter by such a life as his
aiui its memory goes on blessing
for aye.
Friends from everywhere are
saddened by his going but rejoice
tlpil he could go as he did, falling
asleep as a ' tie child’s eyes might
be touched by slumber even in
the midst of its “Mo w I lay me |
jiG vvri lo sleep,” confident in the
simple faith that the Lord his soul
wit keep; For of such gentleness '
Ira 1 been Irs life.'
The funeral and interment oc- ;
cut red al 10 o’clock Tuesday!
morning at the family burial
ground near Salem, where they |
placed him beside his noble mate
and splendid son who had gone .
put before him into the great
change.
Dr. Price is survived by three
daughters; Miss lone Price, Miss
Kihel Price, and Miss Pearl Price: 1
and two sons; Mr. Eli Price and '
Mr. W. A. Price.
Mrs. Harper and Mrs. Men
Barlow, who have been in town
with relatives, are now spending
awhile at the old home near Tim
berridge.

State. This is worth working for.

sent you, and get delegates that

Department Devoted to the Interest of All The
Schools in The County With News From Them
Each Week, By 0. 0. Tolleson, County
School Superintendent.
Despite the severe weather and
snow in February the majority of
the schools worked full time and
with a good average. Some lost
one day and only two days during
the snow. Such loyalty is appre
ciated by the Board of Education
and all who are interested in the
educational welfare of the county.
Quite a number are all ready
preparing for the school contest
at Loc si Grove, April 24th. It is
expe ted that every school will be
represented. Since each school
is limbed to the same number of
representatives, l the contest will
be as fair for small as the larger
school. The Board of Education
has ordered a holiday for all
schools entering the contests.
It might he well for a number
of teachers to go on from Locust
Grove to the Georgia Teachers’
Association which meets at Macon,
23-25. Every teacher in Henry
County ought to he a member of
1 his body and share in its benefits.
Flippen has been delayed a few
days in getting ready for the
Standard hut very likely the re
port will go in this week. Tvyoftr
three school are pulling for fifth
place. ILaHfcrrti jeveo t 6 guess as
to who will he next.
The fourth monthly meeting of
Henry Co. Teachers’ Association
was held last Saturday with South
Avenue school. Despite the un
usually disagreeable, weather, 18
schools were represented, a num
ber of visiting trustees and pa

His body was fopnd sitting with

stricken with heart trouble.
Mr. Harrell was a man of genial

Grove, April 24th.
By this time it was one o’clock,
and the announcement of dinner
in the grove was very welcome,
especia'ly when we re ch the long
table loaded with heaps of delici
ous —but it would be necessary for
you to have been present just to
know exactly how good every
thing really was. This part of The
program took a long time, but no
one complained.
In the aft* rnoon, after a short
business session of the assocation,
the school, rendered an excellent
program, closing with a* Book
Carnival in whicn the pupils re- A
presented in pantomime each
boojt, leaving' the audience to
guess the titles. Theic pantomimes
were so accurate that quite a
number handed in correct lists of
the entire 46 books represented.
We found a 12 foot porch had
been placed‘across the front of
the building, a fresh coat of paint
added outside as well as some in
teri or , painting; the ; r new
floor had been recently oiled; the
yard graded and covered .with
white sand. These were some of
the more recent improvements.
in keeping wdbthe inviting ap
pearance ef the building insidje .
and out we were welcomed at the
train and again at the school with
a whole-hearted hospitallity that*
made us feel as if we were really
wanted. A rare. spirit of cordi

day.
With hearty thanks for Miss Ri
ley and her people, the visitors
were carried to the evening train
after a most delightful day, de
