Thowas, of Baxley, Appling Coun ty, Solicitor General of the Bruns wick Judictal Circuit, to succeed Hon. John W. Bennett. The late lamented E. Lawton Walker had been eiected to this office but did not live to assume ite dutivs, Judge ‘Thomas will serve two years under. this appointment, when th= vacan cy will be regularly filled by elec tion. : Judge Joseph Henry Thomas is a uative of Bristol, Pierce County, born it 1867, In early life he mov ed with his parents to Applng County, where he has ever since re sided. He attended tue rural schools of Appling and in these ob taineu the ruliments of an educa tion, At eighteen his father died leaving ycung Joseph about two hundred dollars as hiz share of the very small estate. With ti{is.nl}-‘j cleus he began life. By teaching school at intervals aad with the a bove very small pittance he entered:j Mercer University in 1889 and by hard work aud with thie very closest | application he was graduated from ihat well known institution frcm both the literary and law depart ments. While a student theie he . was known for his close application t his studies, The honors that he received while he was at the Univer i sity prove this. In June Igor he’ won the First Sophomore Medal in “the oratical contest; whila =t ‘grad’ nation he was the Aniversarian of| the Cice}onian Society and deliver. ed the oratiou with credit. Atter graduation Mr. Thomas re curned to Baxley. He was princi pal of the Baxlcy High School 1893 and 1894- He was also for a time owner and editor of the Baxley Ban ner. He then entered into active practice of his chosen profession, the law, Almost coatinually he has served in some position of honor aaa trust, always honorably and creditably. He served his home town, Baxley, as Mayor for four terms—in 1897, 1898, 1905 and 1906. He was Scligitor of the City Court of Baxiey fcr four years dur ing 1898, 1899. 1900 and 1901, and itls a matter of record, certainly complimentary to his legal ability, that not a single accusation brought and drawn by him was ever dismiss ed or successfully demnrred to. When apvointed Solicitor General of the Brunswick Judicial Circoit he-was finishing out a term as Judge ! of th= City ourt of Baxley, having served in this important pusition during 1906, 1907 and 1go8.« He has also served his tellow citizens as hairman of the (‘ounty I'emocratic Exccutive Committee for fve or six years. He was pever a candidaie before the peodoFor ane office. ‘ isa Ma-on Knight ofsPs thias an an Odd Fellow. In 1894 Judge Thomas was mar ried to Miss Fannie Mil'kin, the ela-l est daughter of Capt. and Mrs Ben| Milikin of Jesup anda they have three int-resting children—two daughters and a son, ; Judge Thomas is emphatically what the world calls a self-made man. His parents were compara tively poor, plain honest peaple who | lived upon the farm. From thcse‘l Mr. Thomas did not inherit wealth, but they left him a legacy far more valuable by far than stocks and bonds—they instilled into the boy’s wind and heart an uprightness of purpose and an honesty of charac ter that has characterized his every act theoughout all his walks of life. As a lawyer he has the full respect and confidence of the bar, In his practice he meyer resorted in the JuD FrLLOWS HAVE MEETING. ¢ -—— r On the evening of Feb. 4'h, Folk ston Lodge.-No-268, I. O, O.

The men and some of the juy. for officers held that they were no longer amenable to discipline because their pay ceased with the wreek, but the captaln, whose name was Dayy Chenp, differed, treated them as mutl veers and shot one of his midshipmen,. ITe wag then deposed, and most of the crew made off In three of the boats, Later when it was proposed to proceed agninst the so ealled mutineers the Inw ofiicers of the crown deelded that the men had been correct in thelr yview.
