Well-Known Citizen.
-
All thftt was mortal of Mr. William
Curtis Satterfield was laid to rest last
Saturday afternoon at Oak Hill cem

ice.
Dr. T. R. Kendall, pastor of the Meth
odist church, of which deceased was
a prominent member and steward, hda
charge, being assisted by Rev. L. E.
Dutton and Dr. L. C. Vass. Appropri
ate scripture passages were read by
Drs. Kendall. Vass and Dutton, after
which few appropriate remarks, fully
in keeping with the life of Mr. Satter
field. as his friends and loved ones

The body was then borne to its last

W. J. Weinman, E. D. Cole, C. F. Fain,
O. T. Peeples and W. S. Peebles serv
ing as pall-bearers. The funeral ar

Fain Company.
Not at a funera] held here in months
has there been so many beautiful flow
ers as were sent to the Satterfield home.
The body arrived there Friday morning
Xrom Rome, where Mr. Satterfield
p#ssed away last Thursday afternoon.
'From that time until the funeral, and
even afterwards, lovely fioral offerings
were sent in great number, attesting
the widespread popularity of the de
ceased. who literally number his friends
by his acquaintances.
Born fifty-three years ago in Car
tersville a son of the late George W.
Satterfield, Will C. Satterfield grew
to manhood here, and at his death was
rated as one of the most successful
business men of this part of Georg.a.
He was a hard worker, finding his
greatest pleasure in successfully car
rying out mining opertaions on a large
scale. He had, in recent years, added
to his mining properties, and today
they are considered among the most
valuable in the district.
He was married some twenty-five
years ago to Miss Mary Cobb, a daugh
ter of Mrs. John Cobb and the late John
Cobb. To this union was born one
daughter, now Mrs. Ray Dillinger, who,
with her husband, make their home
with her mother. During the past two
years Mr. Satterleld had been a suf
ferer from a malady that baffled the
skilled surgeons of the country, and
through his long period of illness the
tenderest. care and devotion showered
upon him by his wife and daughter has
been a beautiful example of love, ex
emplified in ways too many to enu
merate. They are receiving the sym
pathy of the entire community in the
passing of husband and father, who
lost a hard-fought battle against un
surmountable odds.
Mr. John E. Satterfield, a well-known
capitalist of Macon, and father of Mrs.
Fred W. Knight, of Cartersville, is'an
only brother. He, with other members
of the family, were at the be&side when
the end came.
Will Satterfield was a man who took
pleasure in helping “the under dog.
and many were the deeds of k ndness
done by him in his unostentatious way.
It is said of him that he possibly went
on more bonds of unfortunate people
than any man who ever lived in the
community. He had great faith in hu
manity, and it is further said that he
was rarely ever fooled, no matter how
the appeal was made. Many there are
who will miss his kindly ministrations
in time of heed and sore distress; by the
scores they mourn the passing of their
friend and counsellor.
In the circle of his family and inti
mate friends, Mr. Satterfield was a de
voted husband, an indulgent father,
and a man who would go the limit for
a friend. He did not count the cost, if
that were necessary, when the needs
of a friend were presented, and no
worthy cause ever failed to receive a
generous response from him.
Cartersville and Bartow county have
lost a man they could ill afford to lose;
we can only bow in humble submitdon
to the will of the Judge who rules su
preme, and say, “Thy will be done."
“Peace to his ashes.”

goodly number of the members of the

Jackson, and himself, with silos. Food
stuffs to the amount of 200 tons are

until it is used up by stock far into the
spring.
The Messrs. Jackson have found that
a combination of sorghum and corn,
planted in the same field in the ratio of
two rows of corn to one or soghum,
provides a feed that can’t be beaten,
both for its yield and the value in feed
ing stock.

PROHIBITION
IS SUCCESS
SAYSSPEAKER
Mrs. E. C. Atkins Deliveres
Interesting Address Before
Gathering At Methodist
Church Last Friday Evening.
Before a small but interested gather,
ing of people at the Sam Joi.es Memo
rial Methodist Church lasi Friday
evening, Mrs. E C. Atk ns, of Savannah
ft national lecturer for the Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union, delivered
an enthusiastic address on the rapid
strides being made throughout the
country in the enforcement of the pro
hibition statutes.
Mrs. A. B. Cunyus, president of the
lpcal chapter, presided over the meet
ing, and after outlining its porposes,
intorduced Mrs. Lem Giireath, of
Etowah. Tenn., who presented the
speaker of the evening.
Declaring that prohibition was not
only a success, “but a gob’ious suc
cess,” Mrs. Atkina said that from any
viewpoint it has made tremendous
gains, and had accomplished much in
making America a better country to
live in.
From a business standpoint, she said,
it had gained the support of leaders in
all kinds of industry, who had now
reached the conclusion that it was the
best thing that ever happened for the
United States.
The saving of life, not only of men
an worn m who might have gone down
to drunkards’ graves, but the marked
decrease already noted in infant mor
tality, is enough to commend it to any
person who cares for the little folks.
There is no such thing as perfect
enforcement of any law, Mrs. Atkins
pointed cut, and because the craving
for intoxicants is one that takes a
very firm hold on its victims, those
who are in the habit of drinking liquor
are likely to continue doing so in a
great many cases. Notwithstanding
this fact, Mrs. Atkins believes that
enforcement of the prohibition law is
becoming more stringent each day and
that within a comparatively few years,
the drinking of intoxicating liquors-will
be unkniwn.
She asked the question. “Can the
prohibition law be enforced." Her
answer was emphatically in the affirm
ative, but in recounting obstacles she
referred to the lawlessness of the so
called liquor crowd, to the fact that
it would take a generation to overcome
the inclinations and appetites of men,
and to the tremendous indifference on
the part of good men and women re
garding the enforcement of this law.
At present, she stated, the law is 80
per cent effective; in fact, as well en
forced its any other law on the statute
books.
"The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, years ago entered the fight
against John Barleycorn, and we will
never give up. We expect to see that
the prohibition statutes are enforced,
and today we are going about over the
state and nation, arousing our women
to their priviledges. as well as their
duty, to see that only good men are
elected to office; men who stand four
square for the enforcement of all law,’’
said Mrs. Atkins in concluding her in
teresting address.
She was followed by Mrs. Cunyus
who sang, by request two appropriate
selections, the closing prayetr being
offered by Mrs. T. R. Kendall.
Mrs. Atkins was a guest of Mrs.
Cunyus, as was Mrs. Giireath, during
their stay in Cartersville, later going
to Rome, where a district meeting of
the W. C. T. U. was held Monday.
District Meeting in Rome.

OPTIMISM
SOUNDED AT
CHAMBER MEET
Z M. JACKSON, F. J. VAUGHAN, DR.
S. W. McCALLIE AND J. M. HAR
RIS ENTERTAINED LUNCHEON
GUESTS TUESDAY NOON.
A fine note of optimism was sounded
at the weekly meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce Tuesday, when addresses
were made by State Geologist S. W.
McCallie, Z. M. Jackson, F. J. Vaugh
an, well-known young business men,
and Mr. J. M. Harris, district manager
for the Southern Bell Telephone Com-’
pany.
Mr. K. M. Collins, who has served
very efficiently as local manager for
the Southern Beil Telephone Company,
and who leaves sono to take up Ilia new
duties with this company in Atlanta,
presided as toastmaster. He presented
a number of interesting facts about
the month of April, and then said that
this month had always had a ueculiar
significance for him. He became mana
ger here during April, eleven years
ago; was married in April, and now
finds that Apiil will be the last month
ht is to live here as a citizen. His re
marks were well-presented, and were
listened to with the closest attention.

and then State Geologist S. W. McCal
lie was presented by Mr. Collins. This
official, who has made a very careful
study of minerals in Georgia, and, par
ticularly those in Bartow Count}?, sad
he deplored the fact that them
were not manufactured into finished
products before being shipped away.
Because they are not, he said, local
people are losing thousands of dol
lars, and will continue to do so, until
ways and means are found to make
into finished products these minerals
which abound so plentifully here
abouts.
He said his department had recently
