Lloyd White In
Treasurer’s Race
PROMINENT YOUNG BUSINESS j
MAN OF STARK MAKES AN- ■
NOUNCEMENT THIS WEEK
RAN WELL IN 1936 PRIMARY
Announcement is made this week
by W r . Lloyd White, of Stark, prom
inent young businessman and farm
er, for the office of Butts county
treasurer in the April primary.
Mr. White, son of Mrs. Clara May
Hardy White and the late Mr. Wil
liam Aaron White, is connected
with leading Butts county families
and is a successful merchant and
farmer. In the primary of four
years ago Mr. White was a candi
date and in a field of three made a
most excellent showing, and the ac
quaintances then made and the
friendships formed will be an ad
vantage in the present campaign,
his friends believe. He is an active
religious leader in his community
and a man whose reputation for
honesty and integrity raise him in
the esteem of those with whom he
associates. Since the death of his
father Mr. White carries on large
farming operations and is also a
merchant of established reputation.
One of the best known young
men of the county, Mr. White has
hosts of friends who will accord
him enthusiastic support in the pres
ent contest. By education, training
and business experience he is con
sidered well qualified to discharge
the duties of the office he is now
seeking.
It is the consensus of political ob
servers that Mr. White will be a
strong candidate in the April pri
mary!
An increase of 63 per cent in
cash farm income from marketings
of products in the last seven years
is reported by the Bureau of Agri
cultural Economics. The 1939 in
come from marketings was estimat
ed at $7,625,000,000, about the
same as in 1938.

Braddock’s Burial Place 1
General Braddock was wounded
about seven miles from Fort Du
quesne (now Pittsburgh). His actu
al death occurred at Great Mead
ows, about 50 or 60 miles from the
battlefield. The body was buried
in the midlie of the highway. In
1823 laborers rifled the grave and
stole some of the bones. What re
mained were buried at the foot of
a broad-spreading oak, about a
mile west of Fort Necessity.
Memories of Happy Days
Why is it that the memory of
some days in the past, unmarked
by any striking event, always come
to us like the breath of spring? It
may be that on those days, in re
ward for some forgotten act, God
drew us close to Him, and that we
absorbed something of His eternal
peace and happiness.
