The play rendered by the G. M. C.

Friday night v.-ax one of the best ever
witnessed in M.ilIodgeville and only the
most favorable comment was heard
from those who witnessed it. Every
character in the play was faithfully
portrayed by those presenting “All a

naming all would be somewhat amiss.
How many children know their fath

be wise for them occasionally to take

BY OWN HAND
Recently Liberated From Sanitarium
by Order ol Court Well Known
Georgian Commits Sucldc.
Wednesday night while on his way
from Atlanta to Swainsboro, Geo. H.
Bell, recently released from the Georgia
St ite sanitarium by order of the court,
killed himself by stabbiug and cutting
his throat. At the time of the deed he
was a free man, the period for which
the sanitarium authorities were respon
sible for his custody expiring about ten
hours previous to the suieide. Bell ob
tained a knife from a fellow passenger
on pretense of peeling an orange' and
then slashed his throat and stabbed
himself, dying almost instantly. He
was near Tennillo at tho time.
The reading public are familiar with
his career and the fact that he destroy
ed himself has no doubt greatly stren
gthened the position taken by the sani
tarium authorities that ho was cutfering
from delusions. The people at large
regret his sad end.

Conduct and Hearing That of a Chris
tian Gentlemen, Both Officially
and Unofficially.
At the last term of Henry County su
perior court, in taking leave of Solicit
or O. H. B. Bloodworth, the grand jury
paid him this tribute in their present
ments:
"We wish, in rur feeblo way, to ex
press our regret in taking official leave
of our worthy solicitor general, the
Hon. O. H. B. Bloodworth. For more
than twelve years now his duties have
brought him into close contact with
our people. We have found him always
capable and careful to the utmost in
the performance of his work, accom
plishing it with much ease that it seem
ed to him a pleasure. His fairness in
all matters brough before him gave
equal aasuranne to all parties that jus
tice would not suffer at his hands, and
he ever acted as an officer rather mind
ful of his sworn duty to do justice to all j
than over-zealous always to convict.
His conduct and his bearing among ur,
officially, has ever bee- - .
Christian gentleman, in the highest
sen30 of the word, and we are sure that
no public official in a position of like
difficulty ever retired, with higher de
degrees, in equal proportion, of a peo
ple’s respect and affection. May his
future days be long ana prosperous, for
his deeds and his virtues fully merit
both!”
Judge Reagan, in thanking the grand
jury for their faithful service, referred
to this as follows:

grand jury: 1 concur most heartily in
the beautiful tribute paid by you to the
retiring solicitor general, the Hon. O.
H. B. Bloodworth. I believe that all 1
public officials should be held to a faith
ful ah I efficient discharge of each antf
every duty connectej with the office en
trusted to them. Measured by this rule,
Mr. Bloodworth’s record is without a
flaw. At the same tinu, { believe
where a public official does hia whole
duty ho should receive the commenda
tion of those he has so faithfully served.
“Having known Mr. Bloodworth for
a number of years, and having been
intimately associated with him in an
official capacity for fourteen years, 1
can truthfully say, that in all that time,’
I have never witnessed anything irn
either iiis public or private life, to justi
fy the slightest criticism. I most
heartily join with you in wishing him>
all manner of good things in the years ,
to come.”
