The Weekly is pleased to re
produce from Monticello News,
his former home paper, the fol
lowing complimentary reference
to Dr. W. A. Williams, who lo
cated at Elliston upon the remov
al of Dr. Ellis to McDonough
some time ago :
Several months ago The News
carried a news item to the effect
that Capt. William A. Williams,
son of Mrs. Jno. S. Williams, who
live near Monticello, had been
cited for a British Military Cross.
The presentation was made in per
son by the King of England and is
a signal honor worthily bestowed
upon the recipient.
Adjutant General P. C. Harris,
of the War Department, Washing
ton, under date of July 30, 1919,
sent the following communication
to Mr. Jno. S. Williams: “There
is enclosed herewith a foreign
decoration authorization certifi
cate awarded to your son, Capt.
Win. A. Williams, Medical O. R. C.,
attached to British Army, and
which is sent to you to hold for
him until he arrives from over
seas. This authorizes him to wear
the British Military Cross. It is
requested that you furnish this
office with a receipt for same, us

Conspicious good work and de
votion to duty when all Medical
Officers of the Brigade had be
come casualties he dressed and
supervised the evacuation of all
wounded of the 60th Brigade. It
was due to his untiring efforts
that a great number of wounded
were evacuated before the ap
proach of the enemy. He set a
fine example and showed entire
disregard for personal danger
throughout the operations from
March 21st to April Ist, 1919, be

Mr. H. M. Lovern of Hampton
gave The Weekly a pleasant call
while in McDonough last Friday.
Mr. Lovern entered business in
Hampton fifteen years ago, going
there from Flippen, and has not
only prospered m commercial cir
cles by building up a large trade,
but has been identified with the
best interests of the city at all
times, at present being a popular
member of the council. Mr. Lov
ern was present at a family re
union at the old Lovern home
near Flippen on the 13th of this
month, and reported a delightful
occasion, with about 100 present.

FIRST AIR ACCIDENT
Two Aviators Forced to De
scend Near the City from
Engine Trouble and Attradt
Immense Gathering.
While passing over McDonough
between six and seven o’clock last
Sunday afternoon an airplane was
discovered about 3500 feet above
ground, when it was seen circling
and began descending.
It was at once evident that
something had gone wrong with
the machinery, the plane soon
landing with the usual maneuver
ing just below Mr. John Turner’s
cotton field in the bottom in rear
of Mr. John Alexander’s home —
it was realized that McDonough
had witnessed her first airplane
accident.
What appeared to the airmen
from above to be a good level
spot to land, proved a boggy
marsh about a foot deep covered
with green grass, and when the
ship struck it turned completely
over. Fortunately no damage was
done' however, beyond a broken
propeller.
In an incredibly short while a
crowd of 150 or 200 had gathered,
'coming from all directions —afoot,
in buggies and autos, showing
that many had seen the plane
descend.
It was occupied by Lieut. GarcL
mr of San Francisco and Lieut.
Carey of Florida, neither of whom
was hurt. They soon got the ma
chine hauled out, when Mr.
John Alexander brought them
to town in his auto and they
spent the night at the Brown
House.
The plane was taking some
parts from Souther Field to a
disabled plane in Atlanta when
the accident occurred. It was
taken down and returned by
express to Americus Monday.

If you ride in a BUICK you will marvel at the ease
with which the trip is made.
When you are looking for
