                      Hon. S. J. Tyson Laid To Rest Sunday
 Swainsboro was made to grieve Saturday last when the sad death of Ex-Mayor 
Solomon Tyson was announced. For months he had been confined to his room, only 
occasionally coming up town to mingle for a short time with his friends. The 
turn came to the worse Friday and death came before noon Saturday.
 Emanuel County was honored went it sent Col. Tyson to the Legislature, 
Swainsboro profited when he was its active Mayor,the Swainsboro bar was at 
home with his companionship and cooperation,the public at large made and has a 
grand example of his life,and The Forest-Blade prospered under his brillant 
and skillful leadership. A good man has gone.
 The interment took place Sunday afternoon in the City Cemetery,the funeral 
ceremony being conducted by Eld. W. A. Lamb. The Pall Bearers were selected 
from the Swainsboro Bar and were Messers. F. H. Saffold, J. A. Smith, H. R. 
Daniel, W. F. Grey, A. S. Bradley, Alf Herrington and Jno. R. Powell Jr.
