The funeral ar rangements were in charge of C. F. 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.” Lumpkin Company Giving Away Neat Auto Name Plates Quite a number of local autoists have called by the store of the Lumpkin Hardware Company this week and had presented them with neat little plates for their autos, the word "Cartersville” standing out prominently.

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. Cartersville was represented at the district meeting of the W. C. T. U., held Monday in Rome, by Mrs. A. B. Cunyus, president of,the local chapter. Mrs. J. H.
