North Carolina in 1917, came to Hons

settled In the vicinity of Dempsey and
stephen Brown, Curtis Lurry, Hugh
T.amson and others on the road leading
from Henderson to Hawkinsville. He
came from there to Randolph county,
Georgia, in 1889 or 1910, and settled 10
the Major David Kaigler neighbor-
hood.
At that time this section of the coun-
try was dense wilderness But few
people were here then and wild beasts
roanad al large, and many turkey
and deer fell at the crack of his unerr-

WORD IN CONCLUSION.

incident to the life of the first settlers
of a country. He heard "Uncle" Tom

1910 just where old Rehoboth church
now stands and helped to raise the first
church house ever erected there, and

ever since 1914. An old landmark has
passed away. "Uncle" George w.
kelley is the only one of the pioneers
now living. The last words OF John
Adams were Jefferson survives.
The last words of the academy at
Rehoboth were 1.-THE church at
Rehoboth survives" and "Uncle"
Eli Aycock could have exclaimed
George w. Kelley survives.
On Sunday, at s: 10 o'clock p. m, his
spirit winged it's flight TO God, who
gave it, and on Monday, August 18th,
1900, all that was mortal of "Uncle"
Eli was consigned to the tomb in the
old cemetery at Rehoboth church.
It is natural for friend to exagger-
ate ones virtues, or an enemy to mag
nifty his crimes, but | hazard nothing
in saying "Uncle" Eli had as few enc
mics as any man; and if he could do
any one no good he was very careful
to do him no harm. My recollection Is
he Joined the church at Rehoboth in
1862, under the administration of Rev,
Wiley Pope, and was by him baptized.

CRAZY MAN RETURNS.
Randolph Citizen Sheriff Christie Was Asked
to Lookout for Goes Back Home.

From the Cuthbert Leader
Mr.. Virgil King, the insane man
whose disappearance from home, near
Benevolence, caused some trouble, as
related in our last issue, returned last
Thursday. He was much emaciated,
and said he had been in the vicinity of
Button, about % or 30 miles from his
home.
Last Thursday he was adjudged lu-
matte before Judge Taylor; and at the
request Of his relatives, who agreed to
pay the expenses of the trip in case. he
was not received at the sanitarium.
Sheriff Bynum carried him at once to
Milledgeville. There was no vacancy,
and Mr.. Bynum and Mr.. King return
ed Saturday.
There being no alternative, Mr. King
was placed in jail, where he was made
as comfortable as possible. He will
have to remain tAere-which will
probably be very few days longer
until he can be accommodated at the
sanitarium.

Too Much Money,

Residents along the line of the Geor-
gia Pine Railway, which runs from
cambridge to Arlington, distance of
