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.

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. Written by her aunt, Lena Hughes. 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.
