Priddy was born ; August 9th, 1533, and died Nov. 10, 1!>14, making her stay on earth 81 years, :5 months and 1 day. She was married to William L. Priddv and leaves one son and one daughter, Mr. W. F. Priddy and Mrs. J. W. Throckmorton and a husband and sixteen grand children be sides a host of friends and rel atives to mourn her loss. Many years ago she joined the Primi tive Baptist church at Snow Creek, being baptised by Elder E. M. Barnard. She was a constant member as long as she could go. The disease that kill ed her was pneumonia and her soul was wafted away. It was sad to have to give her up but 1 feel sure our loss though great is her eternal gain. She was a good woman and all who knew her loved her. It was a heart rending thing to have to part with one who was so kind. She was sick onlv eight days when the summons came that called her home. She was conscious I believe unto the minute she died. This is the first letter of this kind I have ever tried to write but 1 feel it my duty to do this to show respect for her who has gone before, and friends, may we all be prepared to meet her on that happy shore where sorrow, weeping and parting will be no more. A precious on 1 from us is gone. A voice we loved is still, A place is vacant in our home Which never can be tilled. ONE WHO LOVED HER. THE DANBURY REPORTER YOUR ADVANTAGE TO TOBACCO GROWERS:—There is every indication that the leaf market will have heavy breaks for some time now, and it is to your advantage to avail yourself of the opportunties offer ed at GORRELL'S and FARMERS' WAREHOUSES. It matters not how heavy the breaks may be, we will be able to take care of you and your tobacco in first-class shape, as we have two ware houses and a first sale every day in the week, thus being able to give your tobacco an early sale and let you get back home. To have to wait about the warehouse for several days means an added expense to you. And just a word to those who intend to ship their tobacco by rail. We will give this tobacco prompt attention—will sell it as soon we can get it from the station—and will not allow it to be held over from day to day. We promise you that we will give this tobacco our personal attention, every pile of it, and try as hard to get you every cent there is in it just the same as if you were on the market with it. Our tierces will be found at all the railroad stations. Be sure and get one and ship us that next tierce. Winston is the logical market for your tobacco. Don't take it to some other market and run the risk of letting it go for less than its market value. Winston prices are always higher than elsewhere. There is no denying this fact, and theGOR RELL BOYS can and will get you the top prices every time. Come to see us. We will be ready for the breaks, no matter what size they may be. Two good auctioneers, experienc ed men to show up your tobacco and take everv pile to the limit, unexcelled accommodations for you and your stock, first class treatment and the highest market prices for your product await you with The Gorrell Boys. First Sale Days: GorrelPs—Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays. Farmers'—Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays. WILLIAM h. SHELTON. Blessed are the dead that die j in the Lord for hence forth, j sayeth the spirit, they do rest \ from their labors and their! works do follow them. Bro. William Henry Shelton died in the Lord and his works do follow him. On Sunday, Oct. 1, 15)14, God in his infinite wisdom per mitted affliction to take from earth the spirit of bro. William Henry Shelton to portals on high. He was sick about a year j with Brights disease. He bore j i his afflictions without complain- j ing and kept his sufferings most-! ly to himself. He was born in Stokes county July 19,1846. His age was about 64 years. He was married to Mazariah Martin when he was a young man. To this union was born three child ' rer., one son and two daughters. His girls both preceded him to the spirit land several years ago. His wife died about fifteen months ago, leaving him alone. He broke up house keeping and 1 lived with his son-m-law, Mr. I David Hawkins. He was a con j federate soldier and served in the i civil war over a year. Bro. Shelton was a quiet and peace -1 able, child-like man. He never possessed much of this world's ; goods but always seemed to be contented with such things as he had. He was a faithful member | of the Oak Ridge Baptist church. He joined the church 24 years ago and was loyal to his church and often asked the brethren to pray for him. He is survived by a son and two brothers and several grand children to mourn 'his death. His burial services ! were conducted by S. H. Steele j at the Hawkins grave yard Nov. j 12, where he was laid to rest by j his companions. May the rich ! est blessings of heaven rest up on and the holy comforter be with the bereaved family, rel- j atives and friends. He will sleep but not forever. In the lone and silent grave, Blessed be the Lord that taketh, Blessed be the Lord that gave. In that bright eternal city, Death can never, never come, jln his own good time he'll call him, | From his rest to home, sweet l home. JOE H. MARTIN, S. H. STEELE, Committee for Oak Ridge Church. DON'T FORGET. Beginning December I, 1914, the cash-in-advance plan will be adopted by the DANBURY REPORTER, and all unpaid subscriptions will be dropped from the list. This is the policy adopted by a majority of the progressive newspapers of the United States. Our friends will oblige us by helping us carry out the policy. It is best for the paper and best for the subscriber. The expense and labor of collecting small amounts is the reason we take this procedure. Many of our subscribers who have for many years made it a habit to pay up once a year, will confer a favor by not forgetting that this rule will apply to all, and no exceptions will be made in the case of any person.
