deacon. He joined the church at Old
Concord man yyears ago, and was
one of the constitutional members of
Mableton church. He was a faith
ful follower of his Master until the
end. He was a devoted husband, a
loving father, and was loved and re
spected by all who knew him. He

six brothers, three sisters and a host
of other relatives and many friends
who mourn his death. Mr. Seay was

states. A good and useful man gone,
one who always responded to every
call when help was needed, and will
be missed, not only by his family, but
by this entire community, but his
work was finished and God took him
home. A beautiful life not lost, just
gone before.
He was laid to rest Sunday noon,
January sth, at the Davis ecmetery,
beside his companion, who had pre
ceded him only a few months.
Mr. Alexander Mable officiated and
spoke in fitting words of the beauti
ful life just gone out and exorted
the vast throng that had assembled
to live for God and to follow the
example set by our dear brother. |
Peace to his ashes. We tender our
deepest sympathies to the bereaved

Roy Thackston will go to Eastman,
Ga., where he will engage in the au
tomobile business. We regret to lose
him but commend him to the people
where he goes as a worthy and re
spectable young man.
We got word a blizzard was com
ing this way, and sure enough it come
day night with sleet, snow and a
and landed here in full force Thurs
wind that tossed things about. The
mercury went tumbling down and
didn’t stop until it reached 5 degrees
above zero at the weather bureau
here. On January the 12th, 1918 it
went to 3 above, in Dec. of 1917 on
the 30th it went to 6 above.
There was enough snow for the
boys to catch some rabbits.
Some of our folks are troubled
about whether they have a bad cold,
grip or flu.
If our leading public roads were
laid with brick like the streets of Ma
rietta. Could not every two horse
farmer afford to give a bale of cot
ton for such a road. The satisfac
tion in getting to and from town and
the saving in expense of hauling
would soon amount to this. We be
lieve the best plan would be to issue
bonds. Our Federal government
does business this way, why not Cobb
County- —Allen.
