Otis Elkins, which occurred at his home in Fitzgerald last Friday night,- after a short illness, was a shock to his Henry county friends.

Finishing high school, he entered Mercer Univer sity, from which he graduated with high honors. Beginning the practice of law at Fitzgerald he soon won distinction in his pro fession and became a prominent, useful citizen of that section, rep resenting his county in the legis lature several terms, and later sent to the State Senate from that district, serving with distinction and exercising a state-wide influ ence. His untimely death is deeply de plored, and sincere sympathy is extended his father, Mr. J. S. El kins, and bereaved family. Funeral services were largely attended last Sunday at Locust Grove, where the remains were laid to rest. 12) ill 9 NEVffjjj Ltiriptmas* //ward the 80/ls* Of peace on Earl h, On (/iris'tmas'cDay, wK ljj|| Good will to Men, Their old familiar Wjh MM For ever arid ever, Carols pfajC sE* Oman. t Christmas Suggestions _ ~ .
