In an early morning hour on Au gust the 9th, the spirit of Moses Lee took its flight to the God who gave it. He died in his forty-fourth year, was the oldest son of the late Monroe Lee, and wan born and reared in Peacock's Cross Roads section in Johnston Coun ty. In 1895 he was married to Miss Bettie Johnson, daughter of Mr. H. M. Johnson, and since that time has lived on his farm four miles from Dunn. He was an excellent farmer and a good neighbor, always ready to give a helping hand in everything that was for good. This death was unusually sad, as his beloved wife died only six weeks pre vious to his death. They leave nine children, three daughters and six sons, and several brothers and sisters to mourn for them. He was a faithful member and a deacon cf the Primitive Baptist church. All that loving children, a faithful nurse and physician could do for him could not stay the hand of death. As the news was spread over his neighborhood and surrounding com munity, many hearts were made sad, every one seemed to love him and have some good word to say of hm. He was of good morals from his youth up, conscientious, sincere, honest and truthful, loving the truth and living The Maxwell is mechanically right. All the world knows that today. Why? A Maxwell stock car went 22,022 miles without stopping the motor ? 1092 Maxwells in our May gasoline economy contest averaged 27.1 5 miles on one gallon each. 2040 Maxwells in our June contest averaged 29.04 miles on one gallon each If the standardized, one model Max well were not mechanically right these achievements would have been impos sible. Isn't that the kind of efficiency ? the kind of economy ? you want in YOUR car? I it in a way to impress it on his chil Jren. What a priceless heritage has he bequeathed to them, in the memory of such a clean, straightforward life. His devotion fo his church, his love for his family and his home will ever be a precious thought to those who loved him. The church has lost one of its most faithful members, and his children a good father, the community a good and useful citizen. The? funeral was conducted at the home by his pastor, and his body laid to rest by the side of his devoted wife, in the presence of a large crowd of sorrowing relatives and friends. MRS. J. H. B. Dunn, N. C., Aug. 13, 1917. Drowned While Rescuing His Dor. Rather a singular accident occurr ed in Buckhorn township last Satur day, in which a man lost his life in a crock while attempting to rescue his dog. Mr. Daniel O'Conwcll, a farmer of Buckhorn township, age 36 years, was crossing Buckhorn creek ami his dog slipped off the foot log. He sprang into the creek to rescue the dog, and the dog climbed upon his shoulder, sinking him and he lost consciousness and drowned while the dog swam ashore.
