Good Citizen Departs
Mr. John W. Colquitt, aged seventy four years, breathed his last
At his home near Clouds Creek church Friday night last and his remains Were interred in the church cemetery at Sandy Cross Saturday afternoon, Rev. L. B. Jones, of Athens, conducting the funeral services. Mr. Colquitt was a native of Alabama but came to this county fifty five years ago and has since benn one of our most study citizens.
He leaves a widow, three daughters and four sons to mourn for a good husband and father. Mr. Colquitt ever evinced keen interest in the affairs of the county and was quite active in church work, he
being a member of Clouds Creek Baptist church. By his death his immediate Community loses a valuable resident and the county a good citizen.
( Compilers note ) John W. Colquitt had two daughters and four sons, but had raised his niece; his wife�s sister�s had died when her daughter , Gussie Esco was very young. My father and his brothers and sisters considered Gussie their sister and was very much loved by them.
Friday February 2, 1917
Mass Meeting Called In Interest Of Justice A Number of citizens Think Wrong Methods and Practices Prevail in Our Courts and Would Remedy Them
In as much of a general way as spectificial the idea prevails generally over the county that certain methods and practices in our courts tend to the defeat of justice in many instances.
That such methods and practice may be fully discussed and remedied if possible some leaders in a desire for surer justice in the courts have circulated a call for a mass meeting of citizens to be held next Tuesday first Tuesday in February, to take such action as may be determined upon.
The call for meeting is as follows:
In view of certain improper influences which we have been used in the courts of the county, especially in cases where much interest was manifested, which we believe have had a tendency to defeat justice, and in view of fact we further believe, during the court recently held, means, methods and practices were used and employed subversive to a fair and impartial administration of the law, we deem it wise and to the best interest of the people of the entire county to call together her citizenry that they may in a cool, calm and dispassionate way
discuss ways and means by which it will be impossible for such methods and practices, if used and employed, from ever occuring again.
With the hope then of formulating and adapting some way or means to prevent what we believe to be a miscarriage of justice in the courts, and with the further hope of doing what can be done for the betterment of conditions that we believe have existed, we hereby issue a call to all the good and law abiding citizens of the county of Oglethorpe to meet at the court house in Lexington, Georgia, at ten o'clock A. M., on the first Tuesday in February, 1917.
