MR. J.A. AYCOCK DEAD

After an illness of many weary, painful months, Mr. J.A. Aycock died at his 
home on Maple street on Wednesday night, Feb. 2nd.

Joe Aycock was one of the leading citizens of our town and county, talking 
at all times an active interest in every public enterprise or undertaking. 
For a number of years he was a member of the city school board and in honor 
of his services as such, the city schools were dismissed today for the 
services. He represented this county two years in the General Assembly and 
for a number of years has been a member of the board of registrars for the 
county.

It is to his constructive ability that the Mandeville Mills owe their 
existence and the great degree of success they have attained. The same 
ability contributed in very large measure to the building of the A. and M. 
school buildings, which was done at a cost of several thousand dollars less 
than any of the other ten like schools of the state.

He served one term as president of the Cotton Seed Crusher's Association. He 
was general manager of Mandeville Mills which, under his skillful 
management, had grown within the past dozen years from a small ginnery to 
the million dollar Mills, two cotton mills, two fertilizer plants, two oil 
mills, and several ginneries. -- "The Carrollton News," the 4th inst.

Mr. Aycock was a brother-in-law of Mr. W.M. Thomas of this city and was well 
known in Newnan. His boyhood days were spent in this county and he was 
universally esteemed for his fine character and personal worth. He located 
in Carrollton about twenty years ago and his career up to the time of his 
death is an interesting part of the history of that thriving town.
