The years since have proved that I was correct in my appraisal. Every memory of him reveals a sincere solicitude for the welfare of myself and I loved ones. Always cheerful, always giving, never seeking. Never failing to offer words of comfort and sympathy to those in distress. Eager to aid wherever he could. Rejoicing in another's good fortune. I never heard him speak ill of anyone or use a profane word. Mis greetings were friendly. Me was without pretense. Mis treasure, that endeared him to so many people, was in those simple and tvnite nf character that after all " are really the measure of a man. I Each morning in the early hours I have a short walk from my home to my boat. It is an intriguing jaunt. The summer breeze rustles faintly through the leaves of the oak trees, whispering, whispering. The fragrance of the morning dew floats in the air?the eastern sky is a canvas, a thing of beauty, an artist's delight with its blending tints and hues of delicate color portraying the glory of the heavens. Peace and purity seem to shadow the earth?all is without blemish. Creation speaks and we are silent. At such a time and in such an atmosphere, I would have craved for Willie Walker, as for myself, loved ones and j friends, that he could have passed "Over the River" gently, peacefully, quietly, without a broken and crushed body. With all that the finer meaning of the word implies, I shall remember Willie Walker as a gentleman.?Jas. B. Church. Ackh DRESSES FOR THE MISS!

FRONT & GRACE jCgftlf NOT EXACTLY I^EWS Clerk of Court S?m Bennett took a bushman' holiday Monday and spent a good part of th afternoon sitting out on the front porch of th courthouse . . . Marsh hen hunting .is one thinj the old timers can't tell you how much better i used to be. It's too hard to get the birds, the tid and the marshes all lined- up at the same time t hold much danger of extinction. Southport tennis players are certainly indebted to H. Thomas, manager of Ft. Caswell, for- hi fine hospitality this summer in making the con crete tennis court available to them. It has ha< much to do with making the summer more pleas ant . . . Tennis club members want to strike uj some working agreement with the school kids fo keeping up the local courts this fall. Particular!; attractive is the prospect of some night playlnf on some of these cool evenings coming up. There'i even been talk of a doubles tournament. Bob Burns, the radio comedian who blew hi: way into the hearts of Americans with bazooka plays in "Alias, The Deacon" at the Amuzu Fri day and Saturday . . . Depend upon Vincen' Eiserman for a good, enjoyable dance. That's whai the Labor Day Ball turned out to be. But, some how, even though it wasn't as large, we got i greater kick out of the home talent that mad< up the JB Band . . . Most of those boys are scattered now: John Shannon at Ethyl-Dow, Bil Courtney at Clinton and Egan Hubbard at Fori Bragg. But able replacements are available ir Howard Schoenthal, Robert Thompson and Gene O'Brien, who's getting better all the time on his trumpet. (Editor's note: Gene didn't write this.) Today's hit tunes probably will still be good in November, for between the war news and the coming political speeches, there'll be little time for plugging new dance numbers . . . Shades of Jackin-the-box, have you seen Keziah's raspberry jam joke? According to report, only one Brunswick county beach fishery caught more than enough mullets to eat last week. They'll be running soon now, probably court week when everybody is down here on business . . . We still think that the aquaplaning that has been re-introduced as a local sport this summer by the Nuchols, of Charlotte, is a fine bet for Southport's feature summer attraction. An oyster roast, run right, would do good business here this winter . . Concensus of opinion is that Herbert Rogers is doing a good job as chiel pf police. He and Captain H. T. Bowmer, who has recently become active in his duties as deputj sheriff, give the town good police protection.
