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.
