IN MEMORIUM
Dooly County was saddened by the
death of one of its most respected and
beloved citizens, Mr. D. H. Hendley.
This sad event occurred at the home
of his son, Mr. Charlie Hendley, Feb.

his children that of which anyone

that “an honest man is the noblest

Mr. Hendley, always amiable, dis
played his lovely traits more strongly
during his last illness than ever be

period ofhelplessness seemed to be

Mr. Hendley was bbrn Sept. 18th,

at the time of his death. Hq was
married to Miss Sarah Pollock . who
preceded him to the better land eleven
years. Mr. Hendley lived in Pulas
ki 'county sixty-six years, moving to
Dooly county in 1900. He was a
consistent member of the Primitive
Baptist church twonty-five years.
During sixty-three years he held
membership as a Mason in the Mill-

Mr. Hendley Is survived by one
brother, Mr. Jno. F. Hendley, of
Pineview, and four sons, W. T., J. D.,
C. M. and A. D., also by fourteen
grand children.
Rev. Joe Hill conducted the serv

services at the grave.
The esteem in which the' deceased
was held was amply proven by the

thus far to reply to President Wilson’s
last peace message is deemed signifi
cant of this new spirit.
As matters now stand, there is a
stiffer war spirit here than at any
time since the struggle started.
'Russian developments, far frqm
discouraging thee apitat and the na
tion, have put a determination and a
^ punch into war work which has hither-
' to been more or less absent. And, if
this new spirit is any critterion as to
what President Wilson will do, it t

the enrollment of approximately 22,-

zation of practically all of the school

You hear the excuse (from acid phosphate dealers) it is
not available. This is a false statement, it is used in the State
of Florida even under strawberries with splendid results and is
being used almost exclusively under the potato crop of that
State. The hard rock phosphate may not be available to such a
great extent, but it too is better than the acid phosphate people
would have you think.
