part of our merchandise from manufacturers who bov tlieir
raw materials from the folks who buy from u.s, and there
by keepin^r our money at home to help those from whom we
buy pay those from whom they buy.
Our more than 18 years buying merchandise m connection

Difference of opinion as well as financial and economic con

Whether the need of our patron is something in the more

^ To idl and for all whom It may
concernt- I wljl submit the fol
lowing ’ remarks coneemtog the;
life, illness'’aito death of > our be*
loved brother in Christ, W. B.
Phillips, who has lately passed
from earth Into a better, that la,
a Heavenly world as we believe.
He was a good citlsen, loyal to
his country, to his church and
his family. He will be missed by
many friends and relatives. We
sincerely hope our loss, as a
neighbor, a friend, a husband and
a father will be his eternal gain.
For several months he was ser
iously afflicted and confined to
bed much of the time, but he en
dured the same very patiently
and was visited frequently by
many of his friends, to whom
doubtless, his conversation with
tbem was an Inspiration. He
was seriously Interested in the
welfare of those who were living'
in sin and disobedient to the com
mandments of our Lord and
would plead ■with them to turn
away from their sins and get
right with the Lord. O, it was In
spiring to all who heard his won
derful and earnest pleadings with
those who had no hope in Christ.
So I cherish the hope that
through his influence many souls
will be saved for the Bible tells
us that the prayer of a righteous
man availeth much and surely he
.was a righteous man.
Meanwhile I am .hoping that
this article will. If read by those
who are living in sin’s benighted
way, take warning and turn a-
way from sin, seek shelter under
the balmy wings of a crucified
and risen Lord who died that you.
might have life and have it more
abundantly, for during your life
you must act for yourself In re-
Kard to your own salvation. Pro
crastination is the thief of time.
“Today is the day of salvation,
if ye hear my voice, harden not
your heart.” Tomorrow may be
too late.
A word to the bereaved family,
i Dear sister Zora, you have my
sympathy in your bereavement.
But don’t be discouraged. God
will take care of you. And dear
children, one and all, I hope you
will press on in the way your
father did that you may meet him
in realms of eternal felicity where
parting will come no more, neith
er death nor grief can enter there,
where the evergreens will never
fade and nothing ever grows old.

COMMISSION OPPOSES
PAYMENT TO COUNTIES
Raleigh, Jan. 17.—The state
highway and public works com
mission today asked the commis
sion -vn adjustment of county
highway claims not to make any
cash reimbursement to counties,
contending such a policy would
‘‘lead you into a morass of uncer
tainty and danger."
Instead of cash payments, the
argument of Charles Ross, for
the highway, today suggested that
“in the expenditure of future
highway funds, the highway com
mission shall give due considera
tion to those counties that have
burdened themselves beyond the
average in assisting in providing
the road facilities for their peo
ple.’’
Osborne, Eldon Woodruff,
Joshua Woodruff.
Those attending from a dist
ance were: Mr. and Mrs.i C. E.
Kelger, Mrs. Ralph Lazenby,
Miss Clyde Fields, Mlssee Hill,
Yeoman, Wllfong, and Schlecter,
Mrs. J. Paul Gilliam, and ,Mr.
and Mrs. David Harris, from
Statesville; Mr. and Mrs. R. T.
Holbrook, DeLoss Holbrook, and
Mrs. Charles Blackburn, from
Winston-Salem; Mrs. J. T. Pruitt
and Walter Handy, from Lonls-
burg.
Mrs. Holbrook, who before her.
marriage was Fannie C. Alexan
der, 1vas horn and reared at the
old Alexander home, “Long Bot
tom,” in Wilkes county, wher* J.
H. Alexander now lives. She was
I the fourth In a family 4^ JWjen,
all of w,hom have preened her
in death: Mrs. W. B. Reeves', Mrs. j
S. L. Harris, Mrs. S. V. Luns
ford. J. T. Alexander, Mrs, Alec
Thompson, and F. H. Alexander.
She was married March 18,
1S66 to Joseph S. Holbrook, who
died in 1920, four years after the
celebration of their golden wed
ding. ’There was; only one child,
the late John A. Holbrook, who is
remembered for his dfetlngutohed
career as a lawyer. He died in
1910.
Mr. and Mrs. Holbrook were a-
mong the pioneers who made
Traphill outstanding as an educa
tional center a generation ago.
Their Interest extended beyond
their own family, for they were
instrumental in educating score*
of boys and girls and encouraging
them to attain the highest type
of character. Their home was
truly “a house by the side of the
raod” where they were Indeed
friends to man.
A remarkable fact about Mrs.
Holbrook Is that she retained to
the last an active mind, a keen
interest in current happenings,
and an optimistic spirit which
radiated cheer.
She Is survived by three grand
children: Miss Beatrice Holbrook,
of TiapUill; Dr. J. Sam Holbrook,
of Statesville, and John A. Hol
brook, II, of Washington, N. C.;
one great-grandson, John A. Hol
brook, III; and a daughter-in-
