Resolutions Of Respect
Whereas, on the 22nd day ot
December, 1939, the Allwlse
Councilor of the universe saw fit
to remove £rom our midst Bro.
Agustus Key, from this earthly
abode to that home above not
made with hands. At the age of
77 years, Bro. Key was a mem
ber of Clingman Council, No. 446
Jr. O. U. A. M. He was a faith-
; ful member of his council so long
as he was able to attend. He was
a devoted husband, a loving
-father, and a kind neighbor. Be
it resolved:
First: That while we bow In
humble submission to the will ot
Him who doeth all things well,
though we miss his companion
ship and cheerful presence in the
council, we comfort ourselves
with the thought that he has
gone where there Is no more
tears, where the wlcke-1 cease
from troubling, and the weary
are at rest.
Second: That we extend our
sympathy to the family and re
fer them to the Great Comfor
ter who ■will wipe away all tears
from their eyes and give them
that peace of mind that passes all
understanding.
Third: That a copy ot these
re^:ioliitlon.s be sent to the be
reaved family and a copy , to the
Wilkes Journal-Patriot with a re
quest to publish and a copy be
spread on the minutes of our
council.

Resedutioos Of Itospect
The Grim Reaper of death has
again visited our midst and this
time has taken one of our most
beloved and prominent citizens.
Rev. Isom W. Vestal at the age
of 49 years and leaves a wife and
seve'ral children, and a host of
friends to mourn their loss. The
sadness of death deens when'the
head of a family and the father
of children falls as Its victim.
However, we realize that most of
ten the choicest flowers are tak
en from earth to be permanently
under the Great Gardner’s care.
We shall miss him, yet; but we
knov;^ that God always leaves his
comfort and ble-ssings to those
who mourn. Therefore be it re
solved ;
First: That while we bow in
humble submission to the will of
Him who doeth all things well,
and though we shall miss his
companionship and cheerful prw-
ence in the Council No. 44 6, Jr.
O. U. A. M. of which he was a
faithful member. We comfort
ourselves 'vith the thought that
he has gone where there are no

COME IN! SEE IT! DRIVE IT! LEARN WHY ENGI
NEERS SAY DODGE GIVES MOST FOR YOUR MONEY!
C OULD you ask for a better guide
to car value than this; 4,061
engineers bought Dodge eers in the
laat 12 months!^ Men who know a
great car not only praise Dodge, but
buy it in preference to others!
Why? Because, they say, Dixlge
engineering is matchless in the indus
try. Even though it costs nothing
extra, it means not onlv brilliant
performan-ce, fewer repibills, big
savingt) on gas and oil, but beauty,
comfort and luxury you never
dreamed posutde in a car priced ao
lew!
Why pay more money when Dodge
DOIMHB
gives you everything you could
ever desire in any car? Or, why be
satisfied with a small car when
Dodge gives you so much extra
value for just a few dollars more?
