FORMER FT. VAL.I.EYAN
LOSES SON UN ARKANSAS.
Friend in tbits section of Mr. W.
0. Blewster, who moved from this
V icinity to Arkansas about 25 years
ago will rev ret to learn of his be¬
reavement in the death of his son,
YV. I,. Blewster, which oceured at
Magnolia, Ark., January Ifi. Mr,
VV. 0. Blewster is a brother of Messrs.
YV, M. and It. G. Blewster, and will
be remembered by most of the adult
residents of the Ft. Valley section
who were living here at the same time
he did.
The following account of hi- son’s
death appeared in the Magnolia
! (Ark.) News of January 22:
WILLIAM LEON BLEWSTER.
After a brave struggle of more
than two weeks with cerebro-spinal
meningitis, William Leon Blewster,
third son of Mr. and Mrs. W. C.
Blewster, died Friday, January 1(5,
at the United States Naval Training
Sti.tion at Gulfport, Miss.
As soon as the authorities at the
Training Station learned that his ill¬
ness was due to meningitis they
wired his parents, both of whom hur
r.cfl to his bedside and remained
there during the last two weeks of
the fight for life. William was
cheerful and conscious almost until
end, although it is believed that
he fully realized his critical cornu
tion almost from the beginning Oi
bis illness.
His parents brought his body home
for burial, arriving Monday morn
ing. Funeral services were con
ducted at 10:30 o’clock in Central
Suptist Church by Dr. J. H. Cole¬
man, assisted by Rev. M. K. Irvin.
After the funeral services the body
was laid to rest in the City cemetery
tud the mound was covered with
beautiful floral pieces, one of which
was a wreath sent by the U. S„ Navy.
Among the other large pieces were
wo by members of the Ladies Aux
diary of Central Baptist church and
one by the Central Baptist Sundaj
Hchool.
The pallbearers, who were boy
hood friends and former school
mates were Ben Chaffin, Clarence
Grumpier, Alvin Boyd, Gladney
(can, Sid Dennis and Truston Jame¬
son.
William was the third son of Mr.
and Mrs. Blewster. Besides his par
ents, four brothers and two .--inters
survive. The sisters are Mrs. Car
lisle Murphy, of DeQueen and Mrs.
vV. S. Holdridge, of YY'est Hole na
The brothers are Thomas M,, of T ex
arkana, Shelley W„ of Oakdale, La.,
and YV. C. Jr., and Edward, of Mag¬
nolia. Besides, there are numerous 3
uncles, aunts and cousins.
He was born and reared here. Un¬
til about two years ago he wa.- a stu
-cn, in the Magnolia high school. L
Then he went to Monroe, La., where
he was employed by the Mo... oe
Wholesale Grocery until last April,
when he enlisted m the United States
Navy. 11. would have been 20 years
old January 30, if he had lived until
then.
1’or several years he had been an
active memeber of Central Baptist
hurch and of its Sunday Scool and
other auxiliary organizations. His
sterling character and his sunny dis
position won him many friends, not
only here but wherever he went. This
was shown in an especial way by the
officers and men of the naval train¬
ing station and by citizens of Gulf¬
port. His record at the naval train¬
ing station during the nine months
he was there was perfect, with not a
mark against him.
Many relatives and friends sym
pathize with his parents and other
near relatives.

FARMERS OF UNITED
STATES LEAD WORLD.
The American farmer leads the
World in the individual production of
- tops, according to the annual report
of Secretary Houston, of the depart¬
ment of agriculture. Mr. Houstop
notes that countries such as Belgium,
under intensive cultivation, give a
higher acreage yield, but taking both
acreage and yield per acre into eon
■ideration the American agricultur- l
t produced this year two and a half U
::nes as much as his Belgian and
German rivals, two and three-tenths
lines as much as the British farmer, L
Tiree and two-tenths times as much
the French, and more than six
imes as much as the Italian.
