MR. J. E. WILKES
DECEAS.ED HAD BEEN IN ILL
HEALTH FOR LONG TIME.
FUNERAL HELD MONDAY.
Mr. J. E. Wilkes died at his resi
dence on Lee street Sunday afternoon
following a long illness, being under
the care of specialists in a sanitarium
in Atlanta at different times.’ For sev-
Icral months before thc end he was
confined to his bed at home, medical
| skill having failed to arrest the dis
ease. Before his health failed Mr.
Wilkes was one of the best known
traveling salesmen of this section. Af
ter giving up that line of work he
looked after his large farming inter
ests in this county.
It is worthy of note that Mr. Wilkes’
tenants paid him one of the highest
tributes possible in voluntary testi
monies of his honesty and fair deal
ing in all his business transactions.
They express a deep sense of loss over
his passing away.
The deceased was born in lLowndes
county in 1860 being a member of a
prominent south Georgia family. Af
ter spending some years in study in
his home county he attended the Mc-
Nulty school at Cuthbert, where he
laid the foundation for his successful
business “career. The funeral service
was conducted at the home Monday
afternoon at 3:30 o’clock by his pas
tor, Rev. S. F. Lowe, assisted by Rev.
Reese Griffin, the last sad rites being
attended by a large gathering of
neighbors and firiends. The pall bear
ers were John and Will Crouch, J. W.
Cannon, Carl Melton, E. C. Paschal,]
Earl Pace, Dudley Mize, Paul Wilkes
and Ernest Dekle. Interment was in!
Cedar Hill cemetery.
Surviving relatives are his widow, |
Mrs. Maggie Turner Wilkes, and a/|
daughter, Emily. Others from out of
town present at the funeral were Mr.
’(}eorge Wilkes and son, Paul, of Cor-l
‘dele; Messrs. James, Thomas and
Robert Wilkes and Mrs. Lula \r’\"ilkcsl

County’s Good Roads
Are Prized by Citizens
Are Among the Best in the State.
Credit Given to Those in Charge.
Terrell county citizens are proving
their firm belief in good roads by con
structing highways throughout the
county, which it is belicved will stand
the strain of business traffic and fur
nish a smooth surface for the hun
dreds of automobiles constantly on
the move. The public has at times
manifested impatience over the slow
process of road building on some of
the most important routes out from
Dawson, but it takes time to do good
road work. Now that the job is near
ing completion and is showing up so
well every one feels an especial pride
in the first class highways which are
a credit to those responsible for the
accomplishment of the work.

146 OPERATIONS PERFORMED.
DOCTORS AND NURSES ARE
THANKED FOR SERVICES.
| As a closing epoch of the 1921 club
year and as an opening feature of 1922
!thc clinic is outstanding as to pur
| pose and accomplishment. It's an in
| spiration for bigger things in all lines. |
! The clinic didn’t happen but was
[the result of much thought, planning
fand work on the part of the county
home demonstration agent, Mrs. W,
H. Gurr, and the community clubs.
It could never have been even then,
|except for the untiring and self-sacri
ficing efforts of the Terrell county
physicians. They deserve an individual
word of appreciation and thanks, not
just from the club women and school
children, but every public spirited citi-|
zen of Terrell county. It would be!
|hargl to find in any county without
a city as much medical skill, ability
and public interest. They have not
only given hours of time for physica]i
examination but hours away f{rom
their office during their busiest season
for the clinic. Drs. Gardner and Ken
yon, who were named by the Terrell
county medical unit as the operators
for the clinic, gave five entire days in |
painstaking work. They were assisted‘
every day by other physicians of thel
county who had previously given their
service for examinations. The skill andl
care of the surgeons and physicians |
with that of three efficient nurses re
sulted in each child’s operation being
entirely successful with no casualties
and all doing fine.
The story of the clinic ils one of
simple co-operation. The physical rec
ords of every school child in the hands
of the health committee in each com
munity gave an insight into himan
tragedies and physical wrecks and
mental deformities if not corrrctcd.l
Every committee answered the call in|
a spirit which Terrell county women
should be known for. They gave their
interest and assistance in the physicali
examinations; they were glad to use
their cars and time at the very last tol
sce that cvery child whose ph_\'sical]
examination showed tonsils and ade-|
noids knew of the clinic so that ifi
their cards had gone astray or for any |
reason they had been unable to do S 0 |
before they might have these defects|
removed. Then every club community |
responded fully when called upon to|
furnish supplies for the Iluncheon |
which the Kiwanis club engaged them |
to serve as a means of raising the |
money to defray expenses. The Ma- |
sons contributed to the fund and a|
number of individuals in different |
ways, the city, the ministers and nth-‘i
ers. In this way there were $1,()ll).()1)i
worth of operations done at a cost of |
$lOO.OO, and none of these 46 (,)pvra-!
tions except 8 could or would havci
been possible otherwise. i
The ministers opened their homes to |
the mothers who had to spend the day, |
and Rev. Lowe acted as gcnorall
emergency aide. ,
Through the efficient secretary, Miss |
Carrie Cutter, assisted by Misses Ro-!
chell and Leo Gurr, all records, pa
tients’ directions, supplies, etc., \\'erc|
managed without confusion and when |
not engaged in this capacity each took
‘her turn in assisting the nurses with
‘the patients. Everybody helped, but
none perhaps more than the children
themselves, though excited and suf-,
fering upon awakening, in every in
stance cxcept two, co-operated splen
didly with the requests made by Mrs.
Gurr to refrain from crying, talking
or coughing, so there were no hemor
rhages. There were 15 other children
‘who came for the operation who were
physically unable to take it. It is
‘hoped that these may in some way be |
provided for later. |

Nobody can Tell when you
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
with Sage Tea.
Grandmother kept her hair beautifully
darkened, glossy and attractive with a
brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. When
ever her hair took on that dull, faded
or streaked appearance, this simple
mixture was applied with wonderful
effect. By asking at any drug store for
“Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,”
you will get a large bottle of this old
time recipe, improved by the ~addition
of other ingredients, all ready to use,
at very little cost. This simple mixture
can be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist says
everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur Compound now because it darkens
so naturally and evenly that nobody
can tell it has been applied—it’s so easy
to use, too. You simply dampen a ecomb
or soft brush and draw it through your
hair, taking one strand at a time. By
morning the gray hair disappears; after
another application or two, it is restored
to its matural color and looks glossy,
soft and beautiful
Money To Pay
Off Your Loans
Trying times during the past fwo years
have forced many Terrell county people to
borrow money on land or life insurance poli
cies. It is important that these loans be paid
offi as soon as possible,
Times are better now, with a good crop of
cotton and better prices than last year. It's
a splendid time to start storing up money
with which to pay your debts,
Put part of this year's income into the
Dawson National Bank’s certificates of de
posit—and add a little every time a crop is
marketed. In this way you'll be sure to have
money on hand when you need it.
These certificates are issued in any amount
and are payable in 6 or 12 months with in
terest at the rate of 4 per cent from date of
