Mr. James Butler, one mile north

This is part of the program to be
carried out in planting pine seed

plot. The plot consists of ten acres
or more, and will make our chap

to attend the Forestry Camp this
summer.
On this Forestry plot the boys
will be taught how to build fire
breaks, how to plant pine seed
lings, how to trim trees properly
and other jobs that conform to
good forest practice.
The boys enjoy this outdoor
work and are benefitted by the
knowledge gained in carrying out
the forest project. Mr, C. L. But

Tribute
It is with deep sorrow that we,
the people of Rocky Plains, pay
tribute to our beloved friend. On
Friday afternoon, February 3,
1940, Death, the silent visitor,
came and the spirit of Mr. John
Riley Thompson crossed into eter
nity, after several months illness,
due to sustaining stroke of paraly
sis last July. During his ilness he
was tenderly cared for by his
loved ones and frineds to relieve
hig suffering , !
H 75 years of age and had
~

He was a v « ry su o«ssful , w farm
" j lnterest t ed ln the affalrs o£
the County and J specially of his
own community.
pearly manhood he united with
the Hopeweil Associate Reformed
Presbyterian Church. He loved his
church and was interested in every
part of the work of the church,
and was a re S ular attendant upon
the duties as long as his health
P ermit ted.
In hls P assin S the church loses
one of her oldest members and
one who was loyal and faithful
and the community a worthy citi
zen.
The many kindnesses shown him
during his illness and the large
attendance at the funeral services
and the floral offering are evi
dence of the esteem in which he
was held by those who knew him.
May we say, with God’s servant
of old, “The Lord hath given and
the Lord hath taken away, Blessed
be the name of the Lord.”
He was a loving and kind fa
therand a devoted husband.
