MRS. ANNA COOK
Baldwin county has lost a useful
and valued citizen in the death of
Mrs. Anna M. Cook, who passed
away at her home on last Sunday
Truly a “Child of God has fallen
on Sleep," for Mrs. Cook exempli-
died all the Christian virtues in every
act and deed. She walked humbly
before her God and served him faith
fully to the end.
Mrs. Cook contributed much to
the life of Baldwin county. Tier his
tory of the county has been of ma
terial and lasting benefit and has
been the means of preserving n
of the important historical facts to
generations yet to come.
She never faltered in her devotion
to duty and her life stands a:
example to all our people. This
world has been enriched and blessed
because she lived in it.
We mom her passing, but cherish
the fine example she has given to all
of us.

It seems now that the dream of

of this newspaper for many years
will soon become a reality, for the
Millcdgeville Kiwanis Club and the
City have joined hands to work out
a plan to give Milledgeville a play
ground for our children.
This has been a paramount need
for our children for many years and
we sincerely hope that the plans
now underway will not be deterred
nor delayed any longer than is abso
lutely possible. We cannot be too
careful in looking to the future of
our children. Modem civilization
has made it absolutely essential that
a play ground be provided and
heartily congratulate the Kiwi
and city and urge that this planned
program be brought to a successful
ormclusion as quickly as possible.
