PROMINENT CITIZEN DEAD

Capt. G.L. Suggs, one of the best known and most prominent citizens in 
Haralson County, died at his home in Bremen, Georgia Saturday morning at 4 
o'clock.  Mr. Suggs was dangerously burned about the body four weeks ago while 
filling an automobile tank.  The burn was followed by a severe attack of 
pneumonia which proved too much for his weakened condition.  Mr. Suggs was one 
of the county's most influential men and was vice-president of the Farmer's 
Bank of Bremen and was prominent in church and sunday school work, a true 
Mason, Odd Fellow and Woodman.  The writer had the pleasure of numbering him 
one of his closet friends and little did we realize that when we saw him in 
the prime of good health only a short time ago that he would so soon be called 
to the great beyond, but a sudden attack of pneumonia was too much for his 
weakened condition, and on Sunday he was laid to rest in the cemetery at 
Bremen with Masonic honors.

It is written " it is given unto man once to die and after that the judgment", 
and while we do not know what the judgment will be in the case of our friend, 
we do know that he was a self sacrificing soul who stood for the right, and we 
know that in that great day when mental, moral and physical emancipation of 
the race can be announced in tongues of fire that the name of G.L. Suggs will 
be read aloud, and hundred of thankful spirits who have been helped adn 
inspired by his benedictions will shout his praises.

LITTLE BOY IS KILLED WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON

The sad news of the instant death of the little 4 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. 
W.B. Thrash was received in Heflin late Wednesday afternoon.  It seems that 
Mr. Thrash was engaged in hauling wood and he and his little boy were seated 
on the wagon and in some manner the little boy fell to the ground, the wagon 
wheels passing over his body with the above result.  The little boy was 
unusually bright for one of his age and was a pet of all who knew him. The 
death of the little fellow has almost prostrated the parents who have the 
profound sympathy of their many friends.
