Mr. J. N. Woodruff«. • Dies Monday Night. At his home in McDonough, at 10:30 o’clock last Monday night, Mr. J. N. Woodruff breathed his last. As had been perviously announc ed, he suffered an attack of pneu monia about two weeks ago, the serious nature of which caused grave apprehensions of family and friends from 4 ' the beginning, and when the end came it carried a pall of sadness to his large circle of friends. Mr. Woodruff was a remarka ble man in many respects. His last spell of sickness was his first, having never been confined in bed from illness a day in his life. He was always cheerful, genial, liberal, ever ready to accommodae, and possibly no man ever extend ed more and freer favors than dtd “Uncle Pomp” Woodruff. Conse quently’he was a general favorite and one of the missed and mourned by a com munity in his departure. Mr. Woodruff came from Cov ington to McDonough twenty five or thirty years ago, making scores of friends here from the begin ning. He is survived by his widow, four sons, Messrs. Jim, Tom, Otis and Idus Woodruff, and two daughters, Mrs. Comer Wood ward of Chicago, and Mrs. Verna Wright of Jackson, all of whom were present at his bedside. Funeral services were conduct ed by Rev. H. S Smith from the Methodist church at 11 o’clock Wednesday morning, with inter ment in McDonough cemetery. Horace Sims On His Way to France Mr. Doluh Sims has received a letter from bis son, Horace, who went to Detroit two years ago, stating that he has voluteered his services to the government with a bunch of Ford repair men, and is now in Washington City, from whence he will land in France within 30 days. In com mendation of his patriotism, Hor ace’s McDonough friends extend all good wishes in his course, with the hope for his safe return. His service- wiii be in the army auto repairing department. Mr. Jerome Cook Dies. The Weekly goes to press, we regret to make the paiutui an nouncement of the death of Mr. Jerome Cook, which occurred at the home of his brother-in-law, Dr. B. E. Horton, about 3 o’clock Wednesday night. His protract illness was a source of much anx iety to family and friends, who had hoped for 11 coverv, and were deeply saddened at the end. Interment wit be in College Park at 2 o’clock Friday after noon. Statement of the condition of The Bank of Locust Grove Located at Locust Grove, Ga., at the close of business Dec. 15, 1917.
