Of L. B. McFarland, who was]
born March 30, 1875 and was
killed Aug. 25, 1917. When he]
was very small his father died
and left him. He and his aged]
mother lived together till he
reached 20 or more and he was
married to Miss Ida Stowe and
they lived happily together un-
Itil God saw it was best to call
jher home to heaven Sept. 23,
1912 then he lived with his
friends an dneighbors till April
19, 1914 he was married to Miss
Alma Strickland and their mar
ried life was blessed with the
birth of a little boy and they
were all enjoying life very
sweetly until August 25, 1917 in
a very mysterious way which
we do not know while he was
driving his wagon through At
lanta he was killed almost in
stantly dying before he could
be carried to the hospital, and
oh, how sad we all felt such a
shock just a few hours before
he left home well and was
brought back dead. We believe
he was ready, just four years
before he was killed he obtain
ed a hope in Christ and joined
the Baptist church at Clear
Springs which he remained ,a
member until God in his wis
dom saw fit to carry him home
up yonder where sad accidents
never take place. He leaves a
wife one child, mother and
three sisters an da host of other
relatives and friends to mourn
his departure.
llis remains were laid to rest
in Big Creek cemetery to await
the great resurection morn.
The funeral services was con
ducted by Rev. A. B. Couch.
God’s mysteries we do not un
derstand why he was called to
the blessful land, but we hope
to dwell above with dear uncle
in the land of love.

In Loving Memory.
On Saturday Sept. 8, 1917,
the death angel visited the
home of Mr. and Mrs. T. P.
Tribble and bore a way their
loving little daughter, Ruth.
Shr ° i weeks and suff
ered untold suffering. In spite
of everythng that medical skill
and loving hands could do the
Lord said come unto me.
She Was laid to rest on Sun
day in a beautiful cemetery in
Fla. to await the second coming
of our blessed Savior.
Would say to father and moth
or look not upon her play things
and clothes with grief but look
to that eternal happy home and
think she is far better off than,
we. Ruth was a sweet child
and we miss her so much but
we know she is in heaven to day
for He says suffer little child
ren to come unto me for of such
is the kingdom of Heaven. He
has promised if we will draw
near unto him he will draw near
unto us. lam sure we should
feel nearer him than we have
ever been before because Ruth
is there.
May the Lord help us to ever
be waiting and watching and
be submissive apd say thy will
be done on earth as it is in heav
on.

A Tribute.
It. is not in line with custom
that. I pen these few line< inj
memory of my dear mother
, whom death has lately claimed
! but because I owe to her a debt
! of love which can never be paid
and as she is beyond the reach
of human aid I can only speak
of her what I feel for her.
My mother, Elizza Densmore
was fifty eight years of age at
her death, Dec. 12, 1917. Her
life was a life of simple faith, J
to her religion, was a living pov/i
er, showing its strength in every
day life, manifesting itself in
conduct toward family, friends
and foe. The golden rule was
the rule of her life and the vital
truths of honesty and right
were taught to her children.
She was a true mother and a
loving wife. She leaves a
band and five children to mourn
her loss. What is home without (
a mother? Oh, it is so hard to
give her up, but the thought
BRANDYWINE.
“The way of the transgressor
is hard”. Father forgive them
for they know’ not what they
do’.
Does the boys and girls of
Forsyth county know all they
need to know about farming
or is the county so poor that it
cannot aJTord to pay six hund
red dollars for a county agent?
Answ-.r i R ise.
Rev. W. L. Singleton preach
ed a very fine sermon to an ap
preciative audience at Midway,
last Sunday. If every citizen
of our county was the kind of
man he is, we would not spend
ten lpinutes per year in court.;
He will preach on the first Sun
day in each month.
People continue to haul fer
tilizer even though it is high.
! It is such a pity that we cannot
1 farm without it.
When you are drawing a
heavy load and meet a man who,
gives you the best of the road
you may put it down that at
least he is part of a gentleman
but if he has no load andj
crowds you to the worst place
put him down as lacking some
being a gentleman.
Why, you know’ we do not
need a county agent. You know
that the best counties in the
state are making a mistake in
paying one or two good men to
, look after the farmers interest.
I The great and noble men who
institutd this work and the
I great government of the U S.
who pay half the expense are
mistaken about it doing good.
Th boys who formally made ten
or fifteen bushels of corn per
acre and under this instruction
now make fifty and many more
than <one hundred bushels per
acre know t hat it is a mistake
to have an agent, and our fields
here tht once grew cotton four
feet tall and now grows twelve
inches is certainly proof that
our farmers do not need the ex
pert advice. Old Bill’s head is
about the shape of a citron and
nearly as hard. He has been
trying to figure why we were
denied a county agent at six
hundred per year and were ask
ed to vote for fifty thousand dol
Jars for bonds to bouild roads
with. That citron head will
not give a good answer. We
are in favor of good roads at
the expense of the public if the
public can share in the benefits.
Suppose one of the roads should
come by my home what benefit
would that be to a man on the
opposite side of the county, and
suppose it happened to be on
the other side of the county
then how would it benefit me or
my neighbor? . I would be wil
ling to vote for bonds and pay
in proportion as you are close
to *>r far off the new road but
under no other condition. If
we would begin the right kind|
of farming we would not need
to do much hauling. Cut out
the hauling of every thing
we could grow on our farm andj
see hovr much tonage you
would have left. You see we
could even make our corn
liquor and savfe a gass bill and
the time goiflg north after it.
Now don’t think Old Bill is
going to raise a big row for or
against bonds, for he is willing
for a majority to rule, if they
are not pulled about by people
who have the upper hand of
them. He simply gives his
views and is willing to read andj
consider the other fellows.
l i
comes to me, I can go to her in
that sweet bye and bye. In her
long illness an dacute suffering
she showed a patience and
! fortitude seldom witnessed sub
missive, obedient gentle and
loving but death won the vic-
I tory and she fell asleep in
L Christ.
She was laid to rest in the
cemetery at Midway. She is
not dead. There is no death to
those who live in Christ. In a
few days I shall see her again
and strike hands on a shore un
touched by death and unmark
ed by the tomb.
