death angel calls
MR. JOHN M. FARLEY
Prominent Forsyth Citizen Passes
Away Wednesday Morning. Fu-..
neral Thursday From House.
After an illness of several weeks,
Mr. Jno. M. Farley died at his home
on Main Street Wednesday morning
at 9 o’clock. Because of the seri
ousness of his illness, which later be
came complicated with pneumonia,
hs death was not unexpected, but the
news of his passing away brought
profound sorrow to the hundreds in
the county who were his friends.
Mr. Farley was born in the North
western part of Monroe county at
the Farley homestead about 64 years
ago. He was the son of James Mad
ison Farley, a successful farmer and
prominent citizen. On Jan. 11th,
1893, he married Miss Minne Good
wyne, daughter of Mr. C. O. Good
wyne.
He was a member of the Metho
dst church, which he joined about
20 years ago. Mr. Farley was a
man of great business acumen and
was eminently successful in all his
business affairs. As a citzen he
had the confidence and respect of all
who knew him and his death removes
one of Monroe’s most stalwart sons.
He was quiet and unassuming, rather
shrinking from the glare of publici
ty, and, while there were citizens of
Forsyth who were perhalps better
known, there were few, if any, who
had in greater degree the confidence
of their fellows.
Besides his wife, Mr. Farley is sur
vived by three brothers: W. A. Far
ley, of Liberty Hill, J. A. Farley, of
Goggansville adn L. F. Farley, of
Thomaston, and by three sisters:
Mrs. T. M. Haygood, of Goggans
ville, Mrs. William Tyus, of Milner,
and Mrs. Jno. Wilson, of Griffin.
The funeral took place from the
family residence in Forsyth on
Thursday morning at 11 o’clock, the
service being conducted by Dr. A.
Chamlee, formerly pastor of the
Forsyth Baptist Church.

I A Letter From Forsyth Mercantile Company |
To Our Friends and Customers:- <
Much has been said and written during the last few weeks in re- 5
gard to the situation caused by the war in Europe. But so far no X
effective remedy has been found. We are face to face with a reality J
and not a supposition. We can’t get around it. So let’s face it as <
I Georgians have always done, not forgetting that we are not half as J
bad off as some folks are. <
/t seems that we must sell our cotton cheaper, in fact, much J
cheaper than we had expected, but we are not ruined yet, and if with x
confidence in ourselves and confidence in each other, we each and J
all go right ahead and do our very best, we’ll weather this and any x
J other storm that can come over us. And when the war does close, be J
x that soon or late, we’ll be ready to take advantage of any opportu- X
> nities that come our way. S
C We expect to continue to do business at the same old stand and x
> serve you just as in the past. Our stocks are complete and we invite £
< you to examine them. <
A WORD TO THOSE WHO OWE US--We take this opportunity to tell -
X you that while we owe others just as you owe us, we want to assure x
> you that if you do your very best for us, as we know you will, we’ll r
X be able and glad to stick to you in the future as in the past. x
x ”Go Forward” is the slogan and so long as we keep pushing we
x don’t believe that European wars can down us. x
Yours always on the job,

LIFE'S LEVEL PLAIN.
I WOULD not live upon life's towertag
hills
A beacon to be seen by whoso wills.
Where all the winds of hate blow swift
and strong.
Too far from men to see their hurts ang
ills.
■\TOR would I dwell hi valleys where the
tide
Os life shall rise about on every side.
Where I must struggle lest 1 too be
swept
From my safe footing by its waters wide.
BUT let me dwell upon the open plain.
Where I can see suns rise, moons
wax and wane.
Where wide brown roads wind by and
travelers paes
With cheerful greetings, without thought
of gain.
HERE let me live and tmvexed let me
die.
Friendly to all who speak in passing by,
Ready to give what each one may re
quire.
Srr.ilts to the happy, to the sad a sigh.

If President Wilson shows as
•sound judgment in making all his fu
ture appointments as he did recently,
we see no immediate danger of the
Ship of State foundering.
Miller Brothers, Ford dealers of
Washington, 1). C., notified the Ford
Motor Co. that they had sold a Ford
car to the President to be used at his
summer home. The addition of the
President to the big Ford family is
very gratifying to the Company.
He is perhaps the most famous
Ford owner, though Fords are owned
by hundreds of leaders in the worlds
activities. a d v .
