It is with a sad heart that I attempt to write the death of a friend, Willie Creech, of non Micro. He was 18 years and one month old. Ho was the son oi James T. Creech. He had lived in Johnston county all of his life ^n«| had gained many friends. \Vil"i«j had been sick only a short while with typhoid fever. Doctors, nurses, father and mother and relatives did all they could but none could stay the icy hand of death. He grew steadily worse and on September 12 his spirit took its flight to the great beyond. Willie was a faithful member of Parrish's Memorial church and always filled his place at chur?’i and Sunday school. He was al ways ready to help anyone in need. Surely a good hoy is gone but his memory still lives. Rev. Elbert Godwin, pastor of Parrish's Memorial church, con ducted the funeral services at the home, after which the body was tenderly laid to rest in the family burying ground. The pall bearers were: N. H. Parrish, Albert Dan iels, Bruce Pender, Hubert Hir. nant, and Oscar Ilinnant. The flower girls were: Annie Bel.e Tittle, Agnes Worley, Ethel Creech, Eunice Daniels, Beulah Worley, Ethel Collier, Jua lit;. Autridge and Lena Creech. The floral offerings were many and very beautiful which showed the love and respect in which the de ceased was held. It is hard to part with our lov ed ones but when we see them suffer as he did and know that we have done all we can do we feel that he is better off that he is resting in that peaceful home where suffering and .sorrow are unknown. The Lord gave him and saw fit to take him from us, yet his memory will live in the hearts of his loved ones. In his death we hope our less has been his eter nal gain, lie leaves a vacant chair, a vacant room and there is no one 1 that can take his place. May God in his mercy remember his loved ones left behind. May they continue to press on, for just be yond this vale of tears shines one eternal heme. Some sweet day we hope to meet dear Willie there. No more will he be with us here on this earth but we hope to meet Hhu. ..hotpp twhere, all ./§. peace and love. He leaves to mourn his loss a father, mother, two brothers, and three sisters. In the graveyard sweetly sleeping, Where the flowers gently W'ave, Lies the one we love so dearly In his lonely, silent grave. Written by a friend, ANNIE BELLE LITTLE. Selma, N. C. TOLD HOW TO MAKE LIFE A SUCCESS In the campaign when James A. Garfield was the successful candidate for President of the United States much was said of his humble origin, his long hard fight with poverty, how the lad won out and • became the noble man that he was, admired and loved by all who knew him. It was, also, said that a wise, good friend gave the young Garfield a set of rules of conduct which he cherished to the end of his life. It seems to us that any young man should cherish and observe the same rules. Here they are: “Make few promises. Always speak the truth. Never speak ill of anyone. Keep good company or none. Good character is above everything else. Keep your own secrets, if you have any. L>o not marry until you are able to sup port a wife. Keep yourself hon est if you would be happy. When you speak to a person look into his eyes. Make no haste to be rich if you would prosper. Spend less than you earn. Save or in vest the balance. Live within your income. Save when you are yourg to spend when you are old. Never 1 run into debt unless you see a way out again. Good company and good conversation are the sinews of virtue. Your character cannot be essentially injured ex cept by your own acts. If anyone speaks evil of you, let your life be so that no one will believe .him. When you retire at night think over what you have been j^oing during the day. Never be idle; if your hands can’t be em ployed usefully attend to the cultivation of your mind.”—N. C, Christian Advocate. SENATOR VEST’S “TRIBUTE TO A DOG.” I Senator Vest, of Missouri, was 'attending court in a country town, and while waiting for the trial o! a ease in which he was interested, he was urged by the attorneys ir a deg case to help them. Me was |paid a fee of $250 by the plain tiff. Voluminous evidence was in j 1 reduced to show that the de Ifondant had shot the dog in mal ice, while the other evidence went to show that the dog had attack ed the defendant. Vest took tic: part In the trial and was not dis * posed to speak. The attorneys, j however, urged him to make a speech, lest their client would not think he had earned his fee. Be ing thus urged, he arose, scanned the face of each juryman for a mrinert, and said: j “Gentlemen of the Jury: The | best friend a man has in the j world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that lie has reared vi'h j loving care may prove ungrate ful. Those who are nearest and I dearest t o us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our Knnd name may become traitors to their faith. The money that a | man has he may lose. H flics ;away from him, perhaps when he j needs it most. A man’s reputa tion may he sacrificed in a mo men! ol ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the tirst .to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads. The one absolutely un j-ellish fl icn l that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treach erous, is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty,'m health ami' sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground where the wintry winds blow and the isaow drives fiercely, if only he may be near .his master’s side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and acres that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He .guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings ar.d reputation falls to pieces, he ;i,s as coarsitamt in h;s love as the sun in its journey through the heavens. '■“If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the woe'. 1, friendless and homeLess, the faith ful dog -asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies, and wh.vi the last scene -of all <•unit's, amd ?*■*•»*.ii takes the master in its embrace, and his body is laid away in the cold ground, , no matter if all cth* \ 4 Gallant Gletrtta Breaks Women’s-Golf Record _ TOUR.

Glenna deserves praise indeed, as she has gavned the distinction of being a four times winner only alter a hard struggle which lasted until the final putt, Mrs. Leona Pressler of Los Angeles furnishing stiff opposition.

(The Horse and the Popcorn^ Once upon a time there was a | Hr; sc; and much of this story is true, for that was in the days before the Automobile. And the residue of the story I tell as I heard it, but whether it be true <:r not. I will not affirm. And j this Horse jumped over the Fence and found himself in a Corn j Field. And .the Corn that grew in ’that field was Popcorn. And it (was a Very I lot. Day. And tiio j Conn Popped in. i he Heat. And j the horse saw .the ground white with the Popped Corn.

And lie laid him down in the Popcorn and Froze* to Death. | And if I shall be told that no Horse was ever such a F< :d, but that even the most l.og-ickal of , Hoim would .have had too much Horse-sense for that, 1 answer that if no liorso could he such a Fool, then I am certain there i.'uno .uflcui meai ol whom thls might have been true.

Celebrates Eleventh Birthday. Selma, Oct. 31.—On a recent evening the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Jones on North Sum '.er street presented a lovely >eene, when they entertained in tior.or of their daughter, Helen, •he occasion being her eleventh oirthday. The living room and lining room, thrown ensuite, were beautifully decorated with bowls md baskets of orange and yellow marigolds. Everywhere suggestions • f Hallowe’en were seen. Pumpkins shaded all the lights, and black :*ats, owls and witches peeping from all comers gave one •reepy feeling. The guests * were met at the door by Mrs. Jones and presented with a mask. Then came the fun of guessing who each one was as he or she entered the liv ing room. They next were invited t" partake of the witch’s brew. - rved by Pauline Carroll, dressed os a witch. This refreshing drink proved to l>o delicious fruit punch. II Ida Karp, dressed as a gypsy, each guest had his fortune tolJ which caused much fun. Various ether games and contests were in dulged in during the evening. For placing the pieces of a pumpkin t' get her in the shortest time, Ida Belle Wall received a box of candy. Rachel Watson was win ner of a bottle of perfume for feeding the witch most success fully. Frances Carroll of Raleigh d. lighted the guests with several difficult stunts in physical cul ture. Pauline Carroll entertained the guests with splendid piana selections. They were invited by the witch t" the black cats’ banquet hall where block cream and cake were served in the Hallowe’en colors. Orange baskets filled with mints were given as favors. Helen received many lovely gifts from the 37 guests present. I ARM ELECTRIFICATION IS GROWING IN U. S Use of electricity on American farms is increasing at a stead} rate. A thorough survey just com pleted by the United States bu reau of the census shows tha1 production of individual electric plants in 3927 was more than 7; per cent greater than 1925. Since the great bulk of individual elec tric plants are used on farms, this is a positive indication of the steady spread of rural electri fication throughout the country. Dominance of the individual electric plant in farm electrifi cation has resulted in an unherald ed but important economic devel opment in this field, the bureau of census figures show. Although production of electric plants was more than 7 per cent greater, the cost to the farmer-purchasers was a total of almost two and a half million dollars less. In other words, increased manufacture of individual electric plants under mass production made a saving for the farm buying public of two and a half million dollars. Recent figures from the Na tional Electric Light Association show a total of 454,100 farms receive electricity from transmis sion or “high lines.” One manu facturer of individual electric plahts has produced nearly 350, 000 of these units, while the to tal of all electric plants is near the 475,000 mark. This reveals that the individual plant is an overwhelming factor in farm elec trification. The bureau of census figures re veal a decrease of 2,028 electric enterprises (central power sta tion enterprises) in 1927, as com pared. with 1925. With the num ber of such enterprises decreas ing while the number of individ ual electric plants i® steadily in creasing, farm electrfication. de pends greatly on the individual electric light and power units which the farmer installs on his own place. The true field of farm electrifi cation—more farmers using elec tricity for light and every day power applications, is steadily growing. This is the one impor tant phase of farm electrification, »rather than getting a compara tively few farmers to use more electricity. NOTICE NORTH CAROLINA, JOHNSTON COUNTY. In the Superior Court.
