DR. THOS. J. JONES.
Dr. Thou. J. Jones wan born in Troup
county, Gb., Auk. H, 1849. He was
the son of Thomas Johnson Jones and
Winnie Trimble. Hib father was a
deacon and the clerk of his church. He
died in 1855, leaving his widow and five
sons. Three of these sonB Berved in
the Civil War, two of whom were killed
in battle. Dr. Thos. J. Jones and a
younKer brother, also a physician, were
too younK 'luring the war to be called
into service. After the war he entered
the University of Georgia, Bnd gradu
ated in 1870. After graduation from
the University he read medicine
year, after which he took a term at
the I.ouiBville Medical College. In the
fall of 1872 he entered Jefferson Medi
cal College, at Philadelphia, and gradu
ated from that institution in 1873
Later he studied ear, eye, nose and
throat under Dr. Hermann Knapp, and
other noted specialists. Well equipped
for his choBen calling, he entered the
practice of medicine at Hogansville,
and was there until 1885, when he
moved to Newnan. His long and euc.
cessful practice in Newnan is known to
all. He was an able, painstaking, con-
acientious physician. His interest in
and devotion to his calling never
waned. There has been in Newnan no
more heroic character than our de
ceased brother. Himself mortally sick
for the past three years, yet he never
awerved a moment from the path of
bis ministry. He bad been my family
physician all these years that I had
known him, and I can personally testify
to his faithful and sympathetic minis
try. If God cbIIb men to Becular work
— and 1 believe in many instances He
does-will He not say of this good
physician, "Well done, good and faith
ful servant?”
But let us turn now to his most im
portant murk of character. Dr. Jones
was a religious man. He was a Chris
tian—a child of God. While he was a
student at the University of Georgia
he was converted. ThiB is the greatest
experience that can come into any man’s
life. There came into his life that new
principle which controlled hiB life to
the end. He joined the Baptist church
at UogunBVilie in 1875. He was made
a deacon in 1878. Moving to Newnan
in 1885 he put his letter in the Newnan
Baptist church, of which Dr. J. H.
Hall was puBtor. He served us a dea
con in this church until the organiza
tion of the Centrul Baptist in 1897,
when he became one of its charter
members. At the time of his death he
was its senior deacon. He wus a man
who knew what he believed, and why
he believed it. Consequently he was a
man of convictions. He greatly loved
bis church—an alfection rather rare in
these days. A busy physician, he
knew how to bo regulate hiB hours as to
always be at God's house; bo he was
ever in his place of worship. He loved
tbe Word of God, and did regularly
what no other person in Newnan does,
ao fBr us 1 know—he always had his
biblo with him, und when the preacher
announced the scripture to he read he
opened his bible and read as the preach
er read. That is a commendable prac
tice. His religious views were shaped
by the book.
Dr. Jones was a man of faith and
prayer. Would thut all our physicians
were able not only to treat the body,
but were skillful to point the soul to
the Great Physician who healeth all
our diseases! Intimately associated
with him for u dozen years, 1 can hear
willing testimony to his love and con.
stant helpfulness to his pastor.
As n man Dr. Jones was reserved,
almost reticent—very modest in all his
words and conduct. He was a true
friend, loyal and gracious in word and
act. He was exceedingly tender-heart
ed. He was a conservative man, and a
most excellent adviser. A stable, con
servative, clean citizen, an honor to
our town, to his culling and to his
church.
Dr. Jones was twice married. In
1871 he married Miss Virginia Savan
nuh Johnston, of Troup county. She
was the mother of seven children, five
of whom are deceased, having passed
away in infancy. She died in 1885
In 1891 he married Miss Mary Gibson
of Newnan, who, with his son and a
daughter by his first marriage, survive
him. Admirable in all the relations of
life, his home life was loveliest of all
A devoted husband—a devoted father.
His health had not been strong in
three or four years. He grew more
and more frail, but with unyielding
’ determination he kept at his work
of ministering. On Sunday morning he
was not feeling well. In the afternoon
he was taken violently ill. Surrounded
by all of his family, at about 11 o'clock
on Monday morning, June 2>i. he fell
sweetly asleep. There were tears and
weeping, but ruling over all other
thoughts in that hour was the assu
rance of hiB readiness for the last great
event of life.
So closed this useful life. He died
in the harness. No doubt he would
have wished it so, could he have had
the ordering of his end. Tennyson, in
his “Swan Song," speaks of his ap
proaching death as "putting out to
sea,” and as "turning again home,”
and he spoke of his assured hope that
he would “see his Pilot face to face
when he had crossed the bar.”
"Sunset nn«l evening star
And one cl**nr rail for me.
Arid may there lx? no moaning of the bar
When I put out to aem.
"lint such a fide an moving neemM asleep.
Too full for aound and foam,
From that which drew from out the boundk-BH
deep
Turns again home.
"Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark !
And may there he no aadncHB of farewell
When I embark.
"For tho’ from out our bourne of time and
place
The flood may bear me far.
I hope to nee rny Pilot face to fare
When I have rroused the bar."
Our brother, when he left uh, w
only turning again home, for his life
was hid with Chriat in God. He,
too, had long been cheered with the
blessed hope that he would see his
Pilot face to face when he had crossed
the bar. J. S. Hardaway.

Prize Plymouth Rock Rooster
Grows Doxoiogy.
Vernon Green of West Kush, N. Y.,
owns a Plymouth Rock rooster which
he keepB in a poultry yard adjoining
the Lutheran church. Thus the bird haB
all kinds of opportunity of hearing
church hymnB and sacred music.
One morning recently he saw the
rooster stretching its neck and unmis
takably crowing a tune. That is to
say, he saw the neck and heard the
tune. MrB. Green then stated that she
had noticed the bird on the previous
Sunday listening as the doxoiogy was
Bung, and apparently trying to imitate
it,
Mr. Green, who is an accomplished
violinist, got his violin and played the
doxoiogy through; whereupon the
rooBter, in unconcealed delight, re
peated it faultlessly in a lusty crow.
Since then the bird has done the same
thing many times, and haB been heard
by several of the neighbors.
HiB Backache Gone.
Just how dangerous a backache, sore
muscles, aching joints or rheumatic
pains may be, is sometimes realized
only when life insurance is refused on
account of kidney trouble. Joseph G.
Wolf of Green Bay, Wis., writes:" Fo
ley Kidney Pills relieved me of a Bevere
backache that had bothered me for
several months." Take Foley Kidney
Pills for weak, lame back and weary,
sleepless nights. J. F. Lee Drug Co.
The lesBon was from the "Prodigal
Son," and the Sunday-school teacher
was dwelling on the character of the
elder brother. "But amidst all the re
joicing,” lie said, "there was one to
whom the return of the prodigal gave
no pleasure, but only bitterness; one
who did not approve of the feast being
held, and had no wish to attend it; now
can any one of you tell who this was?”
There was a short silence, followed by
the vigorous snapping of fingers, and
then from a dozen little mouths came
the chorus, “Please, sir, it was the
fatted calf.”
Save, Young Man, Save!
Dallaa Times-Herald.
The pinch of poverty has been felt
over the cotton-raising South.
The European war has worked Amer
ica ill.
The worBt is over.
Better times are just around the cor
ner.
But abnormal conditions have caused
a contraction of business and men have
lost their jobs.
Some of them were fine jobs. They
paid good money.
Yet in more than one instance the
men who held them are penniless to
day.
Why?
Because they didn’t save.
They were content to let every month
eat up the salary of that month.
They were satisfied to live, never
looking ahead of the next pay day.
Poor summer dancing grasshoppers!
The winter of their Belf-inflicted dis
content is now full upon them.
They mocked, perhaps, the careful
man who planned for old age or unex
pected disaster.
He was a "cheap skate.”,
Now this Bame "cheap skate” is con
tented!) Bkating on the firm surface of
his savings, while they have fallen
through the ice into the chilly waters
of penury.
Their sad plight should be a solemn
warning to all young men.
To all young men it should be a re
minder of the fact that few things are
so uncertain as their earning capacity.
For the artisan a suddenly crippled
hand may destroy it.
For the office worker a nerve-shat
tering, brain-battering disease may
permanently impair it.
Save while you can. The lean years
come in every man'B life.
The world never bbw greater facili
ties for saving than it has right now
The banks make saving easy.
Studying the psychology of the sav
ing inBtinct, they devise safe and sane
plans that will attract the man who
looks ahead.
Save, young man, save!
The man who has a $300 a month po
sition and spendB $300 a month is not aB
well off as the man who haB a $20
week job and saveB $5 a week.
Unless you save in the summer of
your youth and young manhood, the
winter of your old age will be bitter
cold.
Her Left Side Hurt.
Mrs. Laura Beall, of Plattsburg,
Miss., writes: "LaBt April I got in bad
health; my side hurt all the time. 1
had symptomB of Bright’s disease. 1
took Foley’s Kidney Pills and feel
all right now.” They quickly relieve
backache, rheumatism, aches and pains
Bladder troubles, too, are corrected by
this remedy. J. F. Lee Drug Co

"Yes, indeed?”
“In this country the girls see too
much of them before marriage and too
little of them afterward.”
