The many 1rlendS throughout CoDD
county of Mr.. A. E. Blair We're
grieved to hear of his death which oc-
cured at private sanitarium on
Monday morning, Aug. 4th, in At
lanta. Mr.. Blair was a son of Mr..
and Mrs. w. B. Blair, of Milford, and
was raised in this county. To speak
of his noble character is to speak of
something as pure as human tongue
could express. He was not only a
moral man but has lived for the last
sixteen years a true Christian, being
a member of a Baptist church and
using his influence for much good.
Family, nurse and physician and
friends did all they could to lesson
his suffering and restore his health
but God knew best and called him
home. AS husband he was the most
affectionate, as a father he was very
loving and kind, ever ruling his home
in spirit of love. He has fought
good fight and has gone home to re-
ceive his reward. He was brought
here on Tuesday afternoon and fu-
neral services being conducted from
Maloney Springs church by Rev. w.
E. McCollum, of Kennesaw. A wife,
father and mother, one son, Ralph
Blair, three daughters, Mrs. Bill AL
len, Misses Louise and Tommie Blair,

his death, besides an army of rela-
tives and friends. Let us rejoice for
if we hold out faithfully this parting
is only for short season then we
will meet him again where parting is
no more. The profusion Of floral Of
ferings attested the high esteem in
which he was held. We tender our
deepest sympathy to the bereaved
ones in this sad hour.
