In concluding remarks, the
i speaker paid high tribute to
Mr. Hays as a public servant
and citizen; and stated that
Mansfield and Newton County
were better places in which to
live because of the contribu
tions of Mr. Hays and his fam
ily. He then presented the re

from Mansfield's mayor, coun
cil and fellow citizens, express
ing appreciation of his long and
faithful services.
Mayor Hays, Mr. Mell Prath
। er and Mr. Marvin King of the
Express Co., were among oth
ers paying warm tribute to Mr.
Hays' splendid record of service
to his town and county.
Mr. Hays’ response was
heartwarming and character
istic of his innate graciousness,
integrity and dignity. He ex
pressed sincere appreciation of
the honor bestowed upon him;
and of the confidence vested in
him through the years.
In a brief resume of his ca
. reer, he payed loving tribute to ;
i his late wife, the former Miss
! Annie Oxford; and told of ear-
Ily experiences in Covington,
J when with Sam Lee and P. T.
Thompson Co., mercantile
firms.
In 1896 he returned to Beth
el School, Monticello, which he
attended in winter, and work
ed in summer. While living on
a farm, after his marriage, he

served as carrier from 1902 un
til 1905. In 1906 he and his
family moved to Mansfield,
where he was secretary-trea
surer of Mansfield Lumber and
Construction Co., until 1914,
when he became Mansfield s
postmaster. During this time he
served as chairman of organi
zational work in the 4th Na
tional District, composed of
. Georgia, North and South Car
■ olina, Florida and Puerto Rico.
