NAYREX BARNHABDT
NAYREX EARNHARDT SUFFERS INJURY
Davie High won its third game of the season from
MooresviUe High by the score of 14-7 but they lost
a large amount in the victory. In this game their tag
fullback Nayrex Barnhardt broke his arm and will
probably be out for the remainder of the season. This
*W a groat lews for Davie because Nayrex was a va
luable man when Davfe needed extra yardfpc tie
has the size for a ball player in that he'stands 6 ft
one inch and weighs 200 lbs. His desire and- love for
the game made him a rough competitor. Barnhardt's
value could not be measured in getting yardage when
It was needed but in the fact that he was an out
standing blocker. Time and time again he led the
blocking for the other backs and his deadly Mock
ing paved the way for extra yardage. He excelled just
as much in his defensive play. He was a hard and ac
curate tackier and he was missed from his defensive
position. Nayrex is a good College Propect and he
has already received several offers even though
he had to sit most of the season on the side-lines. We
hope he will be able to return by the last game of
the season and be ready if we are aide to reach the
play-offs.
Mall Lee Webb
Hie passing of Matt Webb leaves a void, not
only in his family, but in our community. Matt
Webb never commanded an army, he was not
a shining light in the intellectual world; nor did
he sit in the councils of executives or magnates
of industry. But what he did was as necessary
to the success and prosperity of (he enterprises
which he served, as the contribution of the
heads of state or industry. Matt Webb never sat
in the seats of the scornful, nor walked in the
counsel of the ungodly. His delight was the law
of the Lord, which is to say, he believed in honest
labor, and he gave more than he ever asked
should be given to him. He was a -nan of integri
ty, who kept his word, and expected others to
- do the same. He had some ideals and principles
about right living and neighborliness, and along
with his good wife instilled them into his child
ren. He and Mrs. Webb reared a large family,
four sons and four daughters, all of wnom sur
vive, and all are doing well. In the loyalty and
devotion of the children, in the family where
togetherness and affection, and each shar
ing in the duties of the home, there is an added
tribute to the parents, wno by example and
teaching, gave to the children the basic princi
ples for right, useful living.
Matt Webb could drive a car as few persons
can. Weather and roads did not bother nim. He
seemed to have a built in radar system which en
abled him to turn the wheel at the right uecond,
in the right direction. He was a man of great
strength, and that strength was employed in use
ful service. Forty five years he carried the mail,
and he carried it with complete obedience to the
mail carrier's creed that, "neither wind nor wea
ther'—shall prevent delivery of the mail.
Faithfulness to life, which includes one's
task, is the mark of greatness in a man' 4 soul,
no matter what station in life the task lies. Ami
we would say, from our knowledge of him, that
Matt Webb belongs to those faithful ones who at
the end of life's sojourn here, will receive a wel
come in the beyond, when the Lord of life re
ceived him with: "Well done, thou good and
faithful savant; enter thou into the Joy of thy
Lord." •

REV. WALTER E. ISENHOVR
Life Of Writer
Is Sketched
Time goes by ind age come
on. The old saying, "Time and
tide wait for no man," is very
vine.
) war born February 19, 1889,
at Silverstone, Watauga Coun
ty, North Carolina, about eight
miles west of Boone, and grew
up on a little farm at the foot
of Rich Mountain. In those
days we had no farm ma
chinery, therefore all farm
work had to be done the hard
way—by manpower and horse
power. I started work on my
father's farm of fifty acres
when I was a mere lad and
spent the first twenty-three
years of my life there. The
old home where I was reared
is still standing, and two of;
my sisters Junie and Farl—
h«ve lived there all their lives
and still occupy the old house.
In the beginning of my
school days we had a little one
room building and one teacher,
who taught all the pupils from
the first grade and on as high
as we advanced in our free
schools. I was eager to learn
and usually made good grades.
Although we didn't have the
advantage of an education
then as our children and young
people have today, yet we had
some wonderful students. I
never had the privilege of a
college education, but I have
been a student practically a
lifetime, majoring of course in
the Holy Bible.
In my early life I seemed to
have a special desire to become
a writer and for more than
half a century my articles,
messages and poems have ap
peared in various newspapers
and religious publications, read
by many thousands of people.
One newspaper published my
articles and poems regularly
for over thirty-three years, in
which I had a department cap-

Davie Roils
West Forsyth
Davie High Rebels picked
as the number one Class 3-A
high school team In the State
justified this rating by sound- j
ly defeating the Forsyth Coun
ty 4-A School last Friday:
night It was the seventh
straight victory (or the Rebels
but it was not as easy a vic
tory as the score indicates.
West held Davie to no first
downs in the first half and
it was only after a penalty
for roughing the kicker that
they were able to light the
spark to victory. Davie and
West see-sawed back and
forth is the first half and it
was all defense for both teams.
The second half proved to
be a different story. West
Forsyth ran the "shot-gun"
formation but they forgot to
load the gun. Davie got in
to the scoring column when
Ronnie Foster picked up a
fumble and ran 34 yards for
the first score. After Davie
kicked off the alert defense
intercepted a pass and then
Mike Branhan tossed a 35 yard
pass to Ronnie Faster for his
second TD and a 13-0 lead
in less than four minutes. The
scoring was not ended when
David Robertson took a pitch
out and ran 10 yards for the
third score in the third quar
ter. In the fourth quarter
Garland Allen took the ball
in from one yard out and
Davie led 26-4. Phil Dedmon
tossed a 32 yard pass to Ron
nie Foster for the final Da
vie score. Ronnie Foster play
ed an outstanding game for
Davie as he scored three TD
and was the fifth man in
the West backfield moat of
the night He repeatedly broke
through to pile up a play
or toss then* far. a lon. The
big score for Davie was the
defense. It has been so all
year but they were outstand*
ing in stopping the potent
offense of West Forsyth, the'
Davie High Rebels are to be
congratulated for their out
standing play and also for be
ing chosen as No. 1 team in
the state. It makes us as fans
equally proud to come out
and root for this outstanding
team. Win or lose we are
behind them 100 per cent
They travel to Children's
Home on Friday for what we
hope will be their Bth straight
victory and will carry them
cne step cloaer to their Con
ference Championship.
