On the morning of August 2d, 1917, at 12 o’clock, the death mes senger came into our home and took from us our dear and preci ous son, Grady Lester. Grady was born at Peachstone Shoals in Henry county, Georgia, October 18th, 1891, and would have been 26 years old Oct. 18th, 1917. He was married to Miss Ruby Davis of Locust Grove, on Christ mas day, 1913, and was the oldest so i of Mr. and Mrs. Charley Les ter, now of Griffin. And besides a heart broken father and mother, he leaves two sisters, three broth ers and a dear loving wife to mourn his death, besides a host of relatives and friends, who deep ly sympathize with them in their sad bereavement. Grady all of his life lived in Henry county, but for the last few years had been living in Griffin, and at his death was employed in the Norman bug gy shop at Griffin as trimmer. He was stricken with that awful disease, typhoid fever, and was taken to the Griffin Hospital, where he died. He was sick only about two weeks.

Distributors, Atlanta, Ga. were carried from Griffin through the country by automobile and in terred at Indian Creek Baptist church, Locust Grove, August 3d at 2 o’clock, Rev. I. G. Walker conducting the funeral service. Grady had numbers of friends everywhere in Henry county, and since moving to Griffin had won many more, the Dali bearers being six of his friends who were with him in the buggy factory at Grif fin. The people of Griffin deeply sympathize with Mr. and Mrs. Lester in their sad loss. But dear ones weeD not, for your loss is his eternal gain. The link is broken on earth, but can be completed in heaven. God says Igo to prepare a place for you, and if I go to pre- pare a place for you 1 will come again and receive you unto My self. that where I am there ye may be also. So Grady has gone to prepare ye all a place and some sweet day he will call you home one by one. Grady cannot come back to you, but by the grace of God you can go to him.. Dear ones, why should we grieve for him when upon his deathbed he uttered these words: “By grace lam saved.” We can truly say that he is only asleep in Jesus. And may we say to the heart broken family, and especially his loving wife, be of good cheer, be of good comfort, always abiding in the work of the Lord. Grieve not for the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord. He said suffer little children to come unto Me and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of heaven. Atrd he is one of the little children, one of those lie wanted. God had been and prepared him a place, and as he said, has come and received him unto Himself and now he is with Christ Jesus. A lady goeth out into the gar den to gather flowers. She does not only pluck from the bush the tender buds, bid goeth about and gathereth some of the larger, wide open flowers, so as to mix and mingle them into a nice boquet. And so does God not only take down the little babe, but reaches out and gathers some older ones and says ye are all my children. May the all wise God of heaven bless and comfort the heart-brok en family is the prayer of the w'nter, his uncle, E. C. Lester. Until further notice my office hours will be from 6 to 12 a. m. Dr. D.
