The fact that more than $26,000.00 was sent out of Carroll county the past spring for baby chlx is n strong reason for holding a poultry show in Carrollton this fall.

That is^is soon .as pos sible Carroll county should bo selling baby eliix.

The deceased was thirty-five years of age and is survived by an aged father nW- mot her, two brothers and two sis ters, together with a host of near rela tives und devoted frionds. He was born and reared in tho com munity nenr New Lebanon Baptist church of which lie had been a consis tent member for some fiftcon years.

Ever kind and considerate of others, ever cheerful nnd optimistic, over helpful nnd useful to his commu nity—his life was a benediction, and his untimoly death has cast a pall of grief over tho outire community. His devotion and sacrifice to and in the interest of his agod father and mother lias long been a subject of praise in the community, and the tak ing of the strong arm and dovotod henrt and purpose from aged parents leaves them almost, wholly beroft.
