ANOTHER GOOD CITIZEN
PASSES OVER THE RIVER
After several years suffering from
a malady baffling to his attendants
and physicians, being altematingly
confined to his bed and at times
abe to attend to his business a f
fairs, death finally relieved Mr.
James W. Jackson of all earthly ills
last Saturday afternoon, at 6 o”clock,
and his spiritual self passed over to
join the vast majority on the other
shore.
Mr. Jackson was for eight years
clerk of Oconee superior court, and
never a more popular man held of¬
fice in our county than he. Ill
health caused him to voluntarily re¬
linquish this office at the time the
present clerk was elected some three
years ago, and ever since that time
the state of his health has been
more or less precarious.
Mr. Jackson was a member of the
local firm of McRee, Jackson & Co.,
a director of Oconee County Bank,
and in his church, the Methodist,
which he honored and loved, was a
valued member of the board of stew¬
ards.
Besides his widow, Mr. Jackson
leaves one son, Mr. W. Pierce Jack
son, by his first wife; four brothers,
Frank, Drew, Joe and Nelson Jack
son; one sister, Mrs. W. J. Thomp¬
son, and numerous other relatives
and countless friends throughout this
section of Georgia to lament his de¬
parture.
ev. A. J. Sears, his former pstor,
assisted by his present pastor, Rev.
J. R. Speer, conducted the funeral
services at the Methodist church
Sunday afternoon, at 3 o”cloik, in
the presence of a concourse of sor¬
rowing friends and relatives tht tax¬
ed the capacity of the large audito¬
rium.
The local lodges of Odd Fellows
and Masons, of which the deceased
was a loyal member, took charge af¬
ter the funeral discourse of Mr. Sears
and with their impressive ritualistic
ceremonies consigned his body to
the grave in Watkinsville cemetery,
there to wait resurrection’s dawn.
Mr. Jackson would have been six¬
ty-five years old the 28th of the pres¬
ent month. The major portion of
his life was spent in Watkinsville
and community, and the impress of
his kindly smile and gentle chrac
ter upon those with whom he came
in contact will live long after his
earthly tenement has returned to
the dust of mother earth.
“Uncle Jim,” as old and young a
like had become accustomed to ad¬
dress him, loved his fellowman and
his tenderness with and great love
children was one of the ruling
passions of his soul. Not a child in
all the circle of his acquaintance to¬
day but feels that a true, loving
friend has been taken away. What
greater tribute to the life of any
man can be paid when it is said he
won and retained the love of inno
sums
up ^ ae the tf.tal lus ljfs main*
characteristics—he" was kind, good,
gentle and loyal—and for all such
there is. laid up in heaven a crown
of righteousness, and he has gone
to enjoy the reward of endless, gold¬
en days, free from pain and infirm¬
ity of earth, in that land where hap¬
piness ever prevails and heartaches
are unknown.
Like every one that knew “Uncle
Jim,” we feel we have lost a true
friend, and with his sorrowing ones
we sorrow, for we will miss him in
the walks of every-day life as only
a departed friend can be missed,
and trust that the sustaining grace
of an all-wise Creator be with those
who were nearest and dearest to
him.

DEATH OF A LITTLE CHILD
Richard, the bright 20-months old
child of Mr. and Mrs. Oran Veal,
died Tuesday afternoon after ten
days illness caused by an aggra¬
vated type of tonsilitis. The little
body was interred in Johnson ceme¬
tery Wednesday morning, Rev. J.
R. Speer performing the last sad
rites over the remains of the preci¬
ous little fellow.
Our hearts go out in deepest sym¬
pathy to the parents of this little
jewel that God has taken to himself
again. No sorrow on earth quite
equals the heartrending poignancy
caused by the death of one”s own
offspring, and while time in a meas¬
ure softens the wounds, yet the eter¬
nal emptiness of heart and longing
for the vanished face never ceases.
However, the thought that some day
our longing will bear fruition sus¬
tains weary hearts and helps t o
stay the blow that otherwise would
slay. May the consolation this
blessed thought brings to bleeding
hearts ever abide with the parents
of this bright little boy.'
“SOME” COTTON
Sheriff Maxey brought to town one
day this week a stalk of cotton hav¬
ing one hundred and one fully de¬
veloped bolls thereon. The stalk
came from the fields of Dr. S. A.
Elder at High Shoals, and the va¬
riety is known as the “Langford Im¬
proved.’”
The genial doctor intends bring¬
ing to the fair some stalks “laying
in the shade” this one, and he says
'High Shoals diatristisj going after
some of the prizes, tot . The doo
tor seemi to have the cotton prised
cinched, -^already, but r-jom all r e
Ports, other districts jrill doubtless
race him for many of Be other pre¬
miums. M
CARD OF THANKS
For the many kindnesses and acts
of love toward us and our deceased
loved one our hearts’ deepest grat¬
itude is extended. Each and every
kindly act of our friends is indelibly
stamped upon our hearts. May the
blessings of heaven abide with each
and every one is the prayer of
