Death Comes Suddenly to
Mr. W. P. Walker. *
Tuesday’s Griffin News gives
the following account of the death
of Mr. W. P. Walker, which will
be read with regret by many
Henry county friends:
“Mr. W. P. Walker died sud
denly Monday, after an illness of
only a few hours. He was taken
ill about ten o’clock Monday mor
ning and passed away the same
evening at 6:30 o’clock at the
Griffin Hospital, to which he was
carried immediately after being
stricken. Heart failure is ascrib
ed as the cause.
Mr. Walker was one of the most
prominent and influential citizens
of Spalding county, and the news
of his sudden death was a shock
to his scores of friends and rela
tives.
Mr. Walker was born April 25,
1856, b°ing in his 62d year. He
was a successful farrnea and sub
stantial citizen, a devoted hus
band, loving father, friend and ex
cellent gentleman whose sterling
worth and exemplary character
were recognized by all who knew
him.
Mr. Walker is survived by his
wife, one «on, Mr. J. B. Walker,
and daughter, Miss Amelia Walk
er. He also leaves four brothers,
A. W., J. J., J. H. and Rev. I. G.
Walker, and five sisters, Mrs.
Mollie Combs, Mrs. William Combs
Mrs. M. E. Wilson, Mrs. Caliie
Burks and Miss Hi ster Walker.
Gin Report.
The last report of Agent Ogles
shows 18,910 bales of cotton in
Henry county ginned to Decern
ber 1, 1917. This makes a gain
of something over two thousand
bales compared with same date
last year, which was sixteen thou
sand odd. The next report will
doubtless run above 20,000 for
Henry county.

We wish to thank the people of
Stockbridge and Henry county for
their many good deeds shown us
during the sickness and death of
our dear father, J. J. Askew. May

ing on during the cdld weather,
and we are glad to welcome better
on account of the colds we have.
School attendants are few on
account of the sleet and snow.
Xmas.will soon be here, but our
hearts are too sad for passing
amusements, for our dear broth
ers and friends with the colors
can’t enjoy it with us.
A preacher once said: “Will a
man profane the name of God?”
He gave this for his reasons:
“God is the Christians’ Father,
Christ is his elder brother, and
will a man profane the name ot a
Christian’s Father?” A carpenter
in the audience said, “No. Next
day while he was working on a
house oyer in the barn yard, he
heard a man cursing, he walked
over and gave the man a lick on
the head, he arked: “What do
you mean ?” The carpenter said,
“I haven’t time to tell you.” He
proceded to lick the profane man,
he knocked him down. The man
asked again, “What do you mean?”
“I’ll tell you later.” He proceed
ed to kick several times then said:
' I have reasoned never to listen

to a man curse.” The profane
man ran a livery stable near by,
but wasn’t able to work within a
week, not even to bridle a horse,
but he learned to bridle his tongue.
I do not approve of the way he
cursed, but with kind words and
gentle ways, one can reach the
Heart better. Profanity is one of
the greatest sins on earth.
