Natural gas is clean—in fact, there's no
cleaner heating. It keeps you comfortable,
circulating filtered, fresh, warm air
throughout your whole house. And it's
so economical —as little as 25 the
i cost of electricity —there's no
5 need to close off rooms or install
expensive, stuffy excess insulation.
Dependable heating is one of many
reasons why it makes sense
to keep Gas Genie in your home.

visited her. Her happy laughter
and assurance that she was fine
always made many ofus ashamed
of complaining at little things.
Mrs. Tuck and her husband,
Colonel Tuck, were always like
sweethearts. He and their son
and wife, Dr. and Mrs. Tuck, who
live here, were always in the
choir, for which she played.
We have known them for 34
years, and their children, as
small boys, were always on the
front seat at the church listening
to every word Mr. Walker Combs,
who was Pastor of the church for
30 years, said. In fact the boys
called Dr. Combs ‘‘Bubba’’.
No one person has ever played
for more weddings in this county
than Mrs. Tuck. She gave un
selfishly of her time and talents
playing for all social events as
well as for funerals.
The many floral offerings and
gifts to the Georgia Baptist
Orphans Home, in her memory,
depict in a small way the high es=-
teem in which she was held.
Yes, Louise Tuck has left her
footprints in the sands of time
here---footprints which will be
a challenge for each of us to
follow. She will ever live within
our hearts---passing from the
shadow into eternal light. Why
should we call it death--this
beautiful going away.
