among negroes, would be re

John F. Hall Was
Buried Monday
|JEFF DAVIg COUNTY
LOSES GOOD CITIZEN
Death claimed Mr. John F.
Hall, 68, last Sunday morning
after an illness lasting many
months, however, he was able
to be out attending to business
until about ten days ago when
he was fatally stricken. Mr.
Hall was one of Jeff Davis}
county’s very best and most
influential citizens and he will
be greatly missed from our
county.
Mr. Hall took a lead in the
development of Hazlehurst and
Jeff Davis county, being a large
land owner and interested in
;several business enterprises.
He owns part of the business
property in Hazlehurst and
large acreage in farming and
timber lands in the county.
He was truly a friend to every
body and was a man loved and
respected by all who knew him.
Well may it be said of him, ‘‘The
world is better for his having
lived.”” His work is over, but
the' example remains an ever
present reminder how best tol
live.
His life was one of kindliness,
a true exponent to all that is
noble, honorable and good. We
shall miss his smiling presence,
his memory will live until green
leaves have faded and the
victories of war have been for
gotton; his life will be remem
bered as among the brightest
jewe!s of our History.
He leaves a widow and two
step children, many relatives
and hundreds of friends to
mourn his death.
His remains were laid to rest
Monday afternoon in Philadel
phia cemetery witn Masonic
honors.

“For years I was in poor
health and finally, after eight
years’ office work with the
Paramount Pictures Co., I was
compelled to give up my paoai
tion because I was so terribly
weak, .
“‘My digestive organs were
so upset that nothing I ate
agreed with me. ‘I will never
forget those awful, splitting
headaches that I suffered with
almost continually. My bleod
‘was so impoverished that my
color was ashy. My back and}
‘Lhips hurt me so I could hardly
get out of bed mornings, and I
lwould go to work so tired, weak,
and in such misery thatl oftem
’felt like I would drop in my
tracks. I suffered so with
lbiliousness that.life was miser
able. I tried just about every
medicine I hsd ever heard of
without lasting relief. .
““After taking Sargon my
color turned ruddy and healthy,
my strength and energy are
back. My appetite is wonderful
now, my food agrees with me
and my sleep is sound and rest
ful. 1 was surprised when
every pain and ache left me,
and especially those awful head
aches. My nerves are normal
again and my friends all tell me
hew wonderfully well I look.””
