Judge E. J. Rei’gan
Appointed Attorney
Railroad Commission
i
The many fiiends of Judge E. J
Reagan in Henry County and
throughout the State will be glad
to know of his appointment as
special attorney to the Railroad
Commission of Georgia. Judge
Reagan is known far and wide as
one ot the most learned lawyers
in Georgia. For a number of
vears he was Judge of the Flint
Judicial Circuit and no man has
ever filled the office with more
credit to himself than he. He is a
man of courage and covictions
and will stand for what he conceiv
es to be his dutv. The opinions
which he will furnish the Railroad
Commission will be in accordance
to law without favor to either in
dividuals or corporations.
Governor Hardwick could not
have made an appointment to the
office that will meet the approval
of the peaple more generally than
the selection of Judge Reagan and
the State will have an able, con
scientious man for attorney to the
Commission.
It is understood that Judge
Reagan will continue his residence
here while he discharges his
duties in the office.
how much we loved him, until
we took the last look on his
face, as he peacfully lay in his
casket. He had been in declining
health for the past year, and his
friends knew' that he was fast ap
proachiug the end, but we were
all so busy looking after our own
inter sts, that we failed to take
time to give him the cheering
words of coinforf, and cheer until
it was to late. Jim, was a good,
honest, whole souled fellow, al
ways true to his fellowman and
during affliction, he did not mur
mur or complain. He had beeu
| partially paralyzed for some time
; and could scarcely walk, but he
icame uo to town almost daily. If
jwe could call him back we would
j try to make his life more cheerful.
! YVe will miss him from our town
! and no more will we see him
quietly walking our streets hop
iug to regain his health. Jim,
was a good fellow and his friends
were numbered by the score, and
we extend our deepest sympathy
to the grief-stricken family in this
sad bereagement.
