The remains of Mr. John w. Nc
Waters, 46 years of age, who died at
his home in Atlanta on Saturday night
November 8th, were brought here on
| Monday afternoon for funeral and
interment. Mr.. McWatters was well
known in this community, having
lived here number of years. Mr..
McWatters was faithful and de-
voted son and brother, husband and
father, always cheerful contented and
dutiful in all his walks of life. Wei
are sure the crown promised to the
faithful is now his portion and that
he has entered into the JOY of his
Lord. This noble christian man was
a peace-maker and one pure in heart.
The church and community sustained
great loss, a vacancy that will be
hard to fill. He no longer shares with
US in sowing for the harvest by and
by, but has gone to Him bearing
his ripened sheaves there to sing the
glory and praise around the throne
of Him whose reflected beauty shone
IN his life of devotion in His service.
