Mr. T. H. Marshall
Claimed By Death
Many friends throughout the county
were sadly grieved by news of the
death of Mr. Thomas H. Marshall,
which took place at Oteen, N. C. where
he had been in a hospital for treat¬
ment for several months. The end
came at 8 o'clock Monday afternoon.
Mrs. Marshall was with her husband
when he passed away. His death
came at the end of a long period of ill
health and for the past several months
a swift decline in strength prepared
his family and loved ones for the in¬
evitable stroke when it came.
The body was brought back to Ca¬
milla for burial, reaching here Wed¬
nesday afternoon, and was carried
out to the childhood home of the de¬
ceased at (JYeenwood for the night.
Funeral services were held yesterday
(Thursday) morning at 10 o’clock at
Hopeful church, where a large num¬
ber of sorrowing friends and relatives
gathered. The service was conduct¬
ed by Rev. H. N. Burnett in a touch¬
ing manner, after which the body was
laid to rest in the family lot in the
cemetery beside the church.
Mr. Marshall had just reached age
when young manhood is at fullest
point of usefulness, 30 years, when
his young life came to an end. He
was the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. D.
Marshall, of Greenwood community,
where he was born and brought up.
He entered the U. S. army at the be¬
ginning of the world war and served
the entire time to the best of his abil¬
ity, thoug-h he was not permitted to go
aeross to France. Camp life and
severe illness from flu and pneumonia
played havoc with his health and he
came home to spend the remainder of
his life trying vainly to regain his
health. The deceased was a member
of one of Mitchell county’s best fami¬
lies, reared in a home of piety, and

number of years, having joined the
Baptist churc in his early young man¬
hood. He was beloved by a large
number of friends to whom his un¬
timely death is a sad shock. Mr.
Marshall was married a little more
than three years ago to Miss Ethel
Commander, who survives him, to¬
gether with their two children, a ba¬
by boy and girl, who are left desolate
in their loss.
In addition to his wife and chil¬
dren, Mr. Marshall- is survived by his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Marshall,
of Greenwood; four brothers, Messrs.

M. Marshall and J. R. Marshall, all of

tie Rigsby and Miss Della Marshall,

latives to the bereaved family in their
dark hour.
Inspection of Soy
Bean Seed Important
County Agent O. L. Johnson is in
receipt of a letter from J. Phil Camp¬
bell of the State College of Agricul¬
ture calling attention to the fact that
last year seed of inferior varieties of
^>y beans were sold in the state, and
that this fact will probably affect the
sale of soy bean seed this year. He
suggests that those who expect to
sell seed of this kind have them in¬
spected and registered by the Geor¬
gia Crop Improvement Association,
which is under the supervision of the
authorities of the State College of
Agriculture. The registration of seed
in this manner will probably help the
sale, especially in communities where
poor seed were sold last year. Those
interested Should take up the matter
with the county agent.

HOPEFUL SCHOOL
OPENS AUGUST 31
OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS WILL OP¬
EN WEEK LATER. COMPLETE
FACULTY AT HOPEFUL.
Hopeful High School will open for
the full term one week from next
Monday, on August 31st. A full corps
of teachers has been secured to- serve
on the faculty for the ensuing year,
headed by Prof. C. F. Richards as
Superintendent and teacher of Voca¬
tional Agriculture.
The Hopeful school will open one
week ahead of the other high schools
of the county. This is being done, ac¬
cording to Prof. Richards, in the in¬
terest of the farmer boys of that com¬
munity who will be enabled to get
back to their crops earlier next spring.
The present indications are that
Hopeful will have the most successful
year in the history of the school. A
large enrollment is expected on the
opening day and interest in the school
is at the highest pitch. Hopeful
serves the largest and most prosper¬
ous agricultural district in the county
and all community affairs arc built
up around the school, which has the
loyal support of every citizen of the
district. The superintendent, Prof.
Richards, has done much in the past
two years to build up the school and
to lend aid to every progressive move¬
ment in the community. He is very
popular with all the people and his
opportunity for further good work in
that community is growing.
The Hopeful school building will
have undergone extensive repairs and
received a new coat of paint by the
date set for the opening of school.
The following teachers will serve
on the faculty this year:
Prof. C. F. Richards, Superinten¬
dent.
Prof. J. R. Lee, Principal.
Miss Cornelia Gill, Ninth Grade.
Miss Emmie Martin, Eighth Grade.
Mrs. W. H. Harrell, Seventh Grade.
Miss Della Hancock, Sixth Grade.
Mrs. R. E. Bolton, Fourth and Fifth
Grades.
. Mrs. G. H. Fitzgerald, Second and
Third Grades.
Miss Eunice Hancock, First Grade.
Sale'City and Cotton High Schools
will probably open on September 7th,
according to information received at
the office of the County Superinten¬
dent of Schools. It is likely that Ba
conton and other high schools of the
county will open on the same date.
According to Superintendent Sloan
no date has yet been set for the open¬
ing of the seven month grammar
schools throughout the county. The
County Board of Education will meet
on Tuesday, September 1st, and it is
probably the date for the opening of
the country schools will be fixed at
that time.
Negroes Arrested
On Liquor Charge
Federal Prohibition Enforcement
Officer R. L. Hudson arrested Gus
Boswell, Hamp Bailey, Jimmie Jones
and Duke Grissom Monday night on
the charge of tranporting liquor. All
of the men arrested are negroes. The
arrest was made at Duke Grissom’s
home, west of Camilla on the Baggs
Ferry road when the party drove up
after a trip to Baker county. Three
five gallon kegs of liquor were found
In the car in which Gus Boswell and
Hamp Bailey were riding. No liquor
was found in the other car, but the
officer had reason to believe that the
other negroes were interested in the
liquor and arrested all four. All of
the negroes were later released on
bond. The car in which the liquor
was found belongs to Gus Boswell.
Hamp Bailey who was with Boswell
claims, it is understood, that he was
merely a passenger and did not know
the purpose of the trip when he was
invited by Boswell to go with him.
