APRIL 18, 1935 Peter Shull Passes at I Home on Beaver Dam Peter Shell, aged 65, died at his home on Beaver Dam last Thursday, following: an illness of long duration. Funeral services were conducted at Bethel Church on Friday by the pastor, Kev. Tipton Greene, wiio waa assisted by Rev. Ed Farthing and Rev. G. W. Greene. Interment took place in Bethel Cemetery. Surviving are the widow and three daughters, Mrs. Sain Atkins of Vilas, Mrs. Custer Ward and Miss Hazel Shell of Sugar Grove. Also surviving <ire u sister, mrs. j. m. cook oi sugar Grove, and two brothers, J. W. Shell of Sugar Grove, and J. E. Shell of Banner Elk. Mr. Shell was born in western Watauga on February 15, 1870. He professed faith in Christ and joined Bethel Eaptist Church on December 30th, 188S. On August 13, 1889 he married Miss Mary Harmon, and to this union four children were born, one of whom preceded him in death. Mr. | Shell had been an invalid and great sufferer for the past nine years, but during that long period he had borne his burden with surprising fortitude. Mr. Shell was known throughout Watauga as an industrious, worth< while citizen, and his death has robbed the community in which he made his home of one of its kindest and most charitable figures. PARENT-TEACHER GROUP SELECTS NEW OFFICERS f The Boone Parent-Teacher Association met Thursday afternoon at the Demonstration School, and held a business meeting. The program, which is usually presented by the school children, was omitted, due to revival services at the Baptist and Metho uiob viiux.cii.es5. Officers for the coming year were elected as fallows: Mrs. Albert Mnllins. president, succeeding Mrs. Tracy Councill, who has been the effi- j cient leader for the past three years; i Mrs. Wiley Hartzog, who has served i as secretary for a number of years, I itror ?wv pAnvn>\l Greene her assistant; Mrs. H. B. Perry was re-elected treasurer. r A brief summary of the year's work w includes aid given to tonsil clinics last summer, in which over two hundred children underwent operations; help given the lunch room in food donations anil cash, which has provided at a small cliargo lunches for chil^ dren. ranging in numbers from 50 to 150 daily. Through the ways and means committee a box supper was recently given, netting $20.00; also, through the courtesy of the Pastime Theatre, a show was given, the proceeds of which wore divided with the association, amounting to $13.75, which totals $33.75( a substantial amount to be reserved for future work. The program committee has presented many attractive programs and grade mothers have functioned well in each grade. The officers are grateful to parents and teachers who have contributed to the vear's work i LOST FAT FOOLED GOSSIPERS Mrs. J. R. McCausland of PittsHfturgn writes: "I look off ? lbs. ir. two weeks with Kruschen. I ate as usual and feel fine." You, too, can f safely reduce as Mrs. McCausland did if you'll only have a mind of your own. Pay no attention to gossipers who wouldn't want to see you the siender woman you can l?e if you'll only take a half teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in a cup of hot water every morning. (Tastes fine with juice of half lemon added). Kruschen is SA-FE-- it's a health treatment and when your body abounds with Kruschen fitness?excess fat leaves. Jar lasts 4 weeks and costs but a trifle any drugstore. The Boone Drug Company sells lots of it. | WRITE foraFree copy B of .Wood'* Ctttlog offering I I New Varietie*, Old Favorite*, I | Planting Tabic, nc.^7. \V.

It will continue through Easter Sunday. The pastor will preach Easter Sunday morning on "The Resurrection and Our Risen Life." We invite you to our meeting. God has used revivals throughout history to advance His kingdom. Our church, our community and even the whole world needs, more than anything else, a great revival of religion. We need repentence, confession of sin, faith in the risen, ascended and glorified Lord. Thert we need a type of true religion that lives Christ every day. That is the purpose of our meeting. Will you join in and help make it so ? J. C. CANIPE, Pastor. Every farmer in Surry County who dug a trench silo last fall reports satisfaction with the new method of saving dairy feed. More will be dug tins year, they say. 4ki pi THE SIGN OF ^ Yon never have to I It's displayed by 30 to Louisiana. Idcnt the world's leadinj sign is a symbol c STAND .
