Mrs. Rofus H. Blackwell formerly of Lenoir, resident of Waynesville for past 35 years "I like to live in Waynesville for more reasons than you will give me space to enumerate, but since you have allotted me a few lines I will name first the climate that is ideal both winter and summer, and second, the neighborly friendli ness that prevails community." Mrs. E. C Wagenfeld native of Lynn, Mass., resident of Waynesville for the past six years "We have traveled much through the South and have yet to find a more progressive and delightful town than Waynesville, but one has to live in Waynesville, to appreciate its friendly hospitable people. In summing up our six years residence here I would like to say we have found great happiness in the town and people." throughout the . f7Iln0ri I kW Tlr T V I M. UllVt Ul M.

He graudated in his profession from the University of Baltimore in 1892, and took a post graduate course at the Johns Hopkins Medical School in the same year. Locating in Canton in 1892, he practiced there until 1901 when he moved to Waynesville. He served five terms as county superintendent of health, two years as president of the Haywood County Medical Society, six years as councellor of the tenth district of North Carolina Medical Society and six years on the board of trustees of the Waynesville special charter school district. Dr. Abel was a strong supporter of the movement to establish the Hay wood County Hospital and in getting the Duke Endowment to contribute for its support. He was one of the principal .surgeons in that institution. He was local surgeon for the South ern Railway and at the last meeting of Association of Southern Railway Surgeons he was made first vice president. He was a member of the state and county medical societies, a member of the district medical society, a member of the American VI edicafr Association, a member of the South eastern Surgical Congress, and a Fel low of the American College of Sur geons. During the World War, he was in the service of the United States Gov ernment with the rank of major at Camp Oglethorpe. At the time of his death he held a commission as major in the Medical Reserve Corps of the United States Army. In fraternity circles, Dr. Abel was a thirty-second degree Mason, and a charter member of the Commandery of Knights Templars of the local lodge. He has been master of Way nesville Lodge No. 171, A. F. and A. M., seven terms and district deputy grand master for several years. He was also a past high priest of the local chapter and a shriner. In 1893 Dr. Abel was married to Mary Vance, daughter of David Vance and granddaughter of Col. Joseph Cathey. His second marriage was to Bessie Love, daughter of Mathew Hale Love and Rebbeca Moore Love, who survives him. Also surviving are four children of the first marriage, Mrs. Robert Osborne, of Tampa, Fla., Mrs. Charles H. Hard, of Elyfia, Ohio; Mrs. Winifred Baker, of Orlan do, Fla.; and Mrs. Allen McLean, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., and four grand J?i children, Mary Vance, Edward Hard, Ann and Mary Osborne. His only son, Hugh Abel, died October 24, 1938. Dr. Abel, who practiced medicine in Waynesville for thirty-seven years, was through all those years a student and a thinker. He was a courteous gentleman, a gracious ministering physician who was welcomed into the homes of his patientsnot only as a medical ad visor, but as a counsellor and confi dent and friend. His character showed a fine combination of strength, of courage and of gentleness. His charities were many though S Buy Your Drug Needs Here And Save The Difference I 1 County Officers To Take Oath Of Office Here Next Monday (Continued from page 1) loyal support given him in the elec tion, and continuing he said: "I pledge myself to give to the people the best service that I possess and to conduct my office in a business like and up right and honest manner, as I am capable of doing." George A. Brown, Jr., said: "I am willing to give all the time possible to serving the people of the county, to give them an efficient county gov ernment for the next two years. We realize that we have lots of prob lems to solve, and we hope, as a board to have the co-operation of the public in general, in working out the diffi culties which we face and others that will arise during the coming two years. I -appreciate ine connaence the voters have placed in me. Frank Davis, another member of the board of county commissioners, when interviewed, stated he would like to thank the people for their sup port in the recent election. In speak ing of the next two years, Mr. Davis said: "One of the outstanding things I hope to assist in accomplishing is the collection of back taxes, which I understand amounts to more than $200,000. I consider this a grave re sponsibility during my term of office. This would be a great help to the man who is keeping his taxes paid up. Haywood county is a wonderful county, but we have had entirely too much lost motion and inefficiency.! Whether I can remedy this situation is to be proved in the next two years." i W. H. McCracken, who was ap- pointed tax collector in 1935, and has served three years, will continue in this capacity until 1941. He was appointed by the legislature for a period that will last through 1939. after which he will serve the two 193S years he was recently elected for the office. Mr. McCracken 'says he will endeavor, , as .best -he can, to collect both back and current taxes. 1 Sheriff R. V; Welch, who returns to the office for a second term, claims that he has the hardest job of all the county officials. While the rest of them are dealing with books and defi nite propositions, he is handling peo ple, at their worst. If the sinner only hurt himself, the sheriff says, his job would be a simple matter. But when he has to combat a mother's tears, and often a wife and a house full of little children, starving while a man serves a sentence, his duties get pretty complicated, and if a man has a heart, it often becomes a tough prop osition to handle. He says, with the support of the voters who put him in office he hopes to "treat all alike, the rich and the poor, the black and the white." Glen C. Palmer, who will repre sent the citizens of Haywood in the 1939 General Assembly, displayed signs of homesickness, in an inter view yesterday, before he even starts for Raleigh. Mr. Palmer takes a very sensible view of the problems of legislation. He says he is espe-( daily interested in getting some defi nite action on the rabies situation in the county. He takes a state-wide view of the law making, however, and only in rare and exceptional cases, does he approve county measures.
