Mac Abercrombie
To the Worshipful Master, Wardens
and Bretheren of Douglasville Lodge
No. 289^ F.&A.M. :
Brother James Jefferson HollI a died
at Montgomery, Ala. Dec. 3, 1922, and
was buried at Douglasville Ga., Dec.
4, 1922, with masonic honor a by this
Lodge. Brother Holiis was born at
Palmetto, Ga., Campbell County Jan.
*7, *836, married to Roanna Foster
Perryman Dec. 12 1858. They were
blessed with eight children, four of
whom survive viz—James A. Hollis
R. Le e Hollis, Theophilu s E. Hollis
and Mrs. Robert F. Ellis.
He served in the Confederate Army
from 1861 to 1865 2nd Georgia Cavalry,
Co. I. G. C. Loony, Capt. Crews Brig
ade.
He moved from Campbell County to
Douglasville in 1873, building one of
the first houses in Douglasville then
onlyt a smnll village. He was a
charter member of the Douglasville
Baptist Church, Past Master of Doug
lasville Lodge No. 289 F.&A.M., of
which he remained a member until his
death; Past High-priestl Douglasville
Chapter No. 14 R. A. M., and member
of Douglasvill e Lodge No. 162 I O () F.
Brother Hollis a s a church member
was a cheerful devout, humbl C( fol
lower of the Meek and Holy Saviour.
As a Mason he was a true, loyal and
untiring worker cvcrready and eag<*r
to do anything in hi s power for- the
benefit of the Craft; charitable, wise in
counsel and a great help to the young
members, by whom he was loved anJ
honored. He so to speak, was the
Father of Masonary in his lodge. As
a citizen he was an upright man mod
est and brave. W c have no doubt that
the Angel writing in the Book of Gold
has Uncle Jim’s name written tbcr c wirh
these words: "The pass is right.”
Any man who, because h e has lived,
has made a community or church or
fraternal order a little better ha s not
lived
BE IT RESOLVED, that in th e dentil
of Brother Hollis our lodge lias lost
a valued and loved member and Mason
ry ha s sustained an irreparable loss.
That a page of the records of this
lodge be inscribed sacred to hi s memory.
That his family b r furnished with a
copy of thes»" resolutions.
That n r ;»y of these resolutions bt
furnished tl» c Dor-las County Sentinel
for publication.
Respect f ill I \ submitted
So often we see things done by "fits
and starts.” We see surveys made for
certain diseases and'a great hue and
cry for a short time, thep slowly the
dramatic endeavor dies, not because
the work was not needed; not becauee
a reform was not necessary; not be
cause a festenng sore did not need a I
severe curetment; not because a dis
ease did not need curing and a cause
removed for ailing people, but the 1
enthuolanm just died and the great
movement slowly passes into the for-j
gotten.
I have Just been thinking that it was'
not so many years ago when the whole 11
South, even America, was startled when
the hookworm was discovered and the
cause of much of the disability of our
people was brought to light. Surveys
were made, almost every county in the
State was visited, the heavily infected
areas thoroughly worked and much
remedial work done. The worm was
studied, its mode of entrance to the
body shc>wn beyond all question, and
the remedies, simple and easy to ad
minister, were given publicity; yet we
have not eliminated this one of the
greatest drawbacks to the progress of
the South. Thcdisands of our people are
infected today; we have almost quit
talking about bookworm, comparatively
speaking, yet the problem is the same;
soil pollution still goes on, children still
go barefoot and have ground itch ; ^
many, very many, are "puny,” anaemic ■
and poorly nourished, lazy and good I
for nothing, when it is all due to the ■
loss of blood from hookworm.
Whon pne is ill, not doing well, fee- 2
hie, "poorly” and has "that tired feel- *
ing," you had better Hend a little
of the bowel movement to the State
Board of Health and see if the trou
ble is not hookworm.
If you hove been diagnosed as tu
bercular and do not improve as you
should, you had better find out
if you are not feeding worms. The
diagnosis is easy; wo furni«h the prop
er container and your physician can
cure you, oh, so quickly! Recently
a new remedy has been discovered
for the cure of the hookworm; it is
almost harmless and your doctor can
put the bloom of health in sallow
cheeks and fat on your skinny form
with just a dose or so.
