On Sunday nigbt as darkness
had covered the earth the death
angle came to the home of Mr.
J. B. Vest at Tobaccoville and
said to him enter the mansion
above rest thyloved employ and
he obeyed. One of the lights from
that home is gone. He lived th€
allotted time of the Psalmist four
score years'. Weep not dear mot
her and children your husband
and father is now enjoying the
pleasure of everlasting bliss.
When the bugle blast of war
sounded its call ,to arms, wheh
its reverberated form every
hill top and filled exery valley
when so many of our people from
tlie Potomac, to the Gulf rallied to
the standard of the confederacy
and rushed to that conflict wnich
■was destined to fill so many unt
imely graves, camp desolation
and mourning to so many homes
and cast so many million of trea
sure Mr. Vest shoulders his
muBket and joined^the ranks of
his countrymen and marched to
t^€.:^nt. From the ,h©ur that
the first shot was fired at Cnar-
leRtoix and the iiqw: m^ssanger
of. and death went gpe^pgr^
its fateful way across the broad
expanse of water crashing aga
inst the granite wall of Sumpter
to the day when Southern cross
faded before the tear dimmed
eyes of its faithful followers at
Appomattox, his life was spent
on the tented fiield amid the
pride, pomp, and ciremstances of
glorious war.
When the struggle was oVer
when the soldiers of either army
who had survived that terrible
conflict Mr. Vest was on hand.
More than four years, the best
years of a man^s life that^ ought
to have been spent within the
walls of a school house in laying
the foundation for future useful
ness. He entered uyon the du
ties of a citizens with the same
energy and zeal that had marked
his conduct as .a soldier in camp
or on field. He was Captain of
a Company through the war and
upon his return home he married
Miss Amond Schaub and began
fai •ming and to this ur;lon was
born three children, Capt. S. A.
Vest, Agent of Depot at Haw
River, John L. Vest, and Mrs.
M. A. Strupe and their' mother
survive him. He lived to the
ripe old age ,of 82 years, one
month and twenty-one days. He
was a faithful member of the M.
E. church for sixty years and a
leader in all church work. His
home was always the home of
the minister. Had the universal
esteem and respect of all who
met him. For many years he
was a teacher in the pubiie
school. His moral qualities were
always in the ascendant. Honor,
fidelity, truth, courage, consci
ence were ever with him. He be
lieved in wh'at was true. He had
a Christian courage, a Christian
charity, a Christian grace. His
piety w'as liberal, just, benefici-
ent. It shone in his daily hfe.
Thatfaith was in him, and as
clear to him as the daily light of
heaven. In life he had made no
enemies, his kindness had left
him no remorse but crowned his
last hours with blessing. His up
right walk in the path of duty
bad left no bitterness of spirit.
^ nothing could be recalledjto have
clouded his eyes. They gazed up
on the eternal shores whither he
was drifting. We are happy in
the better belief that we can say
of our departed friend, he lives,
lives in that other bright shore
for which a just and pure life in
the midst of evil had fitted him.
The Grand Apostle of the Gen
tiles has stated a strange but
wonderful truth: “For me to
live is Christ and to die is gain."
He certainly meant that the gain
is embraced in the sublime doc
trine that anybody of one who
loves God can never perish.
With these hopes of our departed
frier.a we commend his soul to
God, his body to mother earih
and his unright and God^’ iifo
hol'l out to his frienas to imi
tate. Thus Heaven' rhe rich
er i:y his presence uii!) i/';-

We are having fine 'Bpeather
for farm work. Farmers are lay
ing by corn, preparing to thresh
wheat. Wheat is very, sorry.
Rye some better, oats
good.
Oh. -We wish we had a ‘phone
so we could call up and get the
“nuse” also get some boys to
chat us. Its been some time
since we got any “nuse” to
write.
Quite an electric and hail storm
passed thrnugh our neighborhood
a few weeks ago arid did much
damage'to the timber and crops
of Mr. S. Y. Alread and Bro.,
a'so Mr. Tom Harmon and Mr.
N. A. Kime.
Our friend Tine Spcon one of
the oldest threshermen has ord-
jered him another gasoline engine
to thresh wheat but it has not
rrri ved yet. We hope it will soon
come for we want that little we
have threshed soon. '

In regard to our church picnic

Acadamy Saturday, June 29,
1912, we differ somewhat with
what our neighbor said last week
through the News, So far as
we know the occasion was enjoy
ed by all present. Three things
enjoyed beyond all expression,
dinner, the speaking and music,
by Sodano String Band. Fur
thermore we think our Lord ac
cepted all money paid in for this
purpose, even though the Devil
paid it, for Satan has had this
money in his procession long e-
