Harden is taken from TheRome News, Rome,-Ga.: To t{ie Rome City Commission: Your committee, appointed to draft a memorial on the death of Mr. John M. Harden, beg leave to report. Mr. Harden was not, in any way, now or heretofore, connected with our City government. He was a private citizen. Ifr is, therefore, unusual and perhaps without a precedent, that the official heads of our City should take notice of 'his death and offer a tri bute to his memory. Surely there was something extraordinary in the life of this man that calls for and receives such unusual recognition. Service was the keynote of the character of Jack Harden. Service to his fellows, to his family, to his church, to hisjGod. Unselfish service, that asked no reward save that of duty well performed. Service that sought no public honors, nor the world's applause. Service rooted in love-?the perfect love that castetn out fear. As head master for several years, of Darlington School, he won the respect, the confidence, the affec tion of his pupils. Later, as a business man, he was regarded as a model of probity and integrity, as one who could be trusted at %11 times and .un der all circumstances. His short, but eminently useful life, should serve as an example and aft inspiration to the youth of 'our community. And while we mourn his untimely, death, vf? re joice in the splendor of his life, and the nobility of his character. / His ritpmnrv will livo in mnnv n The people of India speak about 150 different languages and are di vided into 43 nationalities. g|gj3JSISMSMSJSJSJ2/^JSMSJSJSJSJSISfSJSJSJ3JSIc 3 ' Fresh Vet Tomatoes ^ k*[G Onions Rc r^JSJHSISMSiSlSJSJSMSJSMSJBJS/SJHSJSJSiBJSJBfc I ALL " Gf Latest Mo !ars and Ac< at 3:30 and 8:. lezzanine Floor II J I icket 75c?War Tax heart that loved and honored hiy; and as the years roll on, they \fill but accentuate his splendid virtues and his manly life.
