Because of war conditions it is thought best not to undertake a county fair this year, except for the ( club me’mbers. At the clu'b contest I hope to have some small prizes for the best selected seed corn and other things of general interest to farmers. I would like as many as can would select a few* stalks of seed com, of the kind you like best. There will be prizes in thel Corn, Pig, Peanut, Peas, Calf Canning and Poultry clubs. A good country or county fair gives bet- ter returns for amount invested than anything we know. We will give you the next best thing to these. Two days of the first week in November. Everybody join us and help make these two days pleasant, profitable, and educating. If you have something good, bring it and let others know about it. W. N. DIXON, County Agent. Lela M. Dickson, Home Dera. Agent. Mrs. Kate Stephens was born Oct. *7, 1861: died, April 20, 1918. Again the Angel of death has soar ed to earth and took the spirit of Sister Stephens home to the God w-hot gave it. Like the precious odor of the alabaster box the fragrance of her rich influence still lingers to bless the church, the world and especially those who lament her departure. Her last days were days of great suffering, but she bore her affliction with a degree of fortitude not found in the hearts of those without Christ. Her faith in God was serene and confident. Fully realizing her criti cal condition, she felt that the end was drawing near and she talked as" calmly about it as if it r was an ordi nary journey. 'So'me time before the end came she called loved ones and told them good-bye. Death had no terrors, for in pa tience and peace she waited to change worlds. It may truly be said that earth is poorer and heaven is rich er with the passing of such a one. She leaves to mourn her death, a husband, three sons, four daughters and one brother. Resolved: That we, as a church, bow in humble submission to the will of our Heavenly Father in removing her from bur midst. 'Second: That we, the members of The Rock Church, extend to the be reaved husband, children and loved ones our deepest sympathy and com mend them to God who only can com fort their broken hearts. Third: That a copy of these reso lutions be placed upon the Church Record, a copy sent to the bereaved family and a copy sent to The Fay etteville News for publication. Done bv the church in conference May 18, 1918. MISS VASSrE WATSON, MRS. CL UJDIE STEPHENS, MR. W. T. STEPHENS, , Committee. Revs. J. . Milton and S. E.
