ftt WATCHES
THE modern idea in watches is FIRST a good "Time Piece". After
that comes refinements of manufacture and design. Time has made
dear to us, for example, that when a father buy? a watch, he wants it
to last more than his OWN life. He'wants to give it to his son, in turn.
^ This store has always specialized in "Time Pieces". As the minutes
tick off, we care less about adornment than accuracy. Here you will
find the dependable makes? ^>roud acquisitions for the generations to
come. And there are the daintiest, prettiest watches for women, too ?
new models, new designs. It will be worth your while to come and see
them.

of the life of ? community. Flanking
the home on the one aide IB the M).
thodlat church and on the other tile
Franklin'on Township school. The
church, bullded before large wealth
orowned the wise labor of Mr. Vann.
owed Its possibility even then to his
liberal gifts and personal efforts.
Through the years It has held high
place In his affections. The school,
the most complete In all of Its appoint
ments yet built In the State. Is his
last gift to his community.
As the funeral procession walked
slowly down the long walk the church
and all of Its approaches were crowd
ed with a multitude eager to show
their friend honor, while before the
school were massed the 600 school
children who are the first of thou
sands to benefit by his great gift.
The pallbearers were men who
from their youth to manhood have
been closely associated with him and
who bore tenderly one whom they
loved: J. W. Daniel, C. H. Allison,
George Gilliam, P. P. Purnell. J. Q.
Purnell, R. J. Hose. Dr. A. R. Winston,
E. J. Cheatham and Prof. R. B. White.
Preceding the body walked his pas
tor. Rev. E. H. Davis, find Dr. N. H.
D. Wilson, for many years closp per
sonal friends, who conducted the fun
eral Jointly, and Rev. A. S. Barnes,
superintendent of the Mehodlst Or
?pfcanage, and Rev. C. L. Dowell, form
er pastor of the Frankllnton Baptist
Church. The immense collection of
flowers was carried from the house
to the grave. To the church were car
ried only the few from the immedi
ate family. He lay in his beloved
church, wrapt In the floral offerings
ot his children.
No Eulogy Uttered
In respect to his known wish, no
eulogy, even indirect, ?al spoken.
Minds and hearts were full ot mem
ory. Citixens-tbought of good roads
smoothed for many passers-by. in
dustries which gave work and oppor
tunity to many, homes made possi
ble by opportune help, educations
gained through his assistance; ot
church erected and supported by his
aid, ot school possible by his gift,
of widows relieved, ot orhans fed
and taught. Children thought ot his
smiling face as he gave them their
Christmas dollars; the men of his
words of faith and hope and grati
tude. But no word was spoken. He
did not wish his funeral to be an
occasion to advertise his merit but
his Master's mercies. And so it was.
The hymns "How Firm a Founda
tion," "Lead Kindly Light," "Ten
Thousand Times Ten Thousand," "Je
ruc&lem, the Golden." and "Jesus Lov
er of My Soul" were sung at the church
or the grave. The lessons appolr.'e'i
by the church wcr; re*-:. Brief pray
ers were made by his pastor and his
friends. His body was lowered into
its rest. Flowers were banked over
It, over the grave of his wife and far
beyond either. The children of the
tthool pressed netr to see the b??utl
ful tcgot. Dr. Wilson r?*d iho hymn (
from tbe Episcopal liymntl. "Pfctln*.
la Thy Graceful Keep tut. Lwn *'?
now Thy 8ervant Bleeping." and as
the dark of tbe evening gathered they
turned back to take up again lite with,
out their friend*. A beautiful service,
beautiful in Its simplicity.

"Tucker Clothing Company.
Henderson, N. C.
Denr Mr. Tucker:
The overcoat came this morning
and the only thing about it that does
not look like a $35.00 coat is the
figures on the ticket. With coats
like this you should sell every man
within 50 miles of Henderson. And
with good roads and cheap gasoline
it would not be poor business to ride
even further. Really It is a very ex
ceptional coat and worth $35.00."
Special Note ? This letter Is from
a customer out of town who sent us
his order by mall. The overcoat re
ferred to is one of our regular $25
coats that we have been telling you
so mnch about recently. We have
plenty more Just like the one men
tioned above and they come in the
newest styles and colors at $25 each.
