*R. W. H. HILL.
i ll-. W. H. Hill whoa death occurred
on Thursday of Ias^W6?k was T>of5rnear
Forc^tvllle, Peij. 22, 1841. This was
the yesr in which William Henry Har
rison was elected president of the
United States. His father and moth
, tj called himjm''"^ ft>nrr ?ft?r {ftp
- preeMent-and other people went a step
farther and called him by the presi
dent's nlchimme. Tionec-iuioe. whiri>
in time became shortened to "Tip" by
which name he was known nil his life.
There seems to be a little uncertain
ty on the part of some or his contem
porary friends as to his school days,
1>ui awwtHug tu Hie ?Ml ttV.bitffnrion
available he was taught (tie first ele
ment? at hnnin hy hip mnthor nn wno
: tbp "iiatom with mostr small children
of that day. Later he was sent to a
private school In Richmond county
taught ny a Mrs. Lilttte. In his later
yfeaj*s he was fond ot entertaining his
grand children with tales of pranks
"and mischief tEaTTie~got Into at this
school. !
When he got too old for "petticoat
government" he was sent to Loulsburg
?fcbere he boarded in the home of Mi*.
* M. S. DaviB and went to his school
for several years; then he went to
school in Hillsboro for one year and
was there when the wcr broke out.
Not waiting to be drafted, nor even
Waiting tor his parents consent?for
he had not reached his majority?he
left Uie school with a lumber of his
mates and enlisted in Cotnpany E, 47th
Regiment, Pettigrew*s Brigade, and
Heath's Division of the Army of North
era Virginia.
He went .through the whole four
years pf tjie war, taking part in all the
battles iiw ^rhlch his company was en
gaged. wille he left many of his
comrades dead on the battlefields and
helped others off who were sorely
-wounded? he himself seemed prtfcected
.hy a special providence tor he did not
receive the slightest wound during the
.whole four years.
In 1867 he married Miss Temple Hil
Jiard Gee, ot this county.. Her people
.shortly afterwards moved to Mississ
ippi an? Mr. Hill and his wife went to
itfle old (Jew home place to live. To
gether they went through all the trou
bles and trials and Joys wnich are com
mon to all parents with a largfe family
of children to rear.
When the older children grew np
-the family moved .to Loulaburg in or
der to take advantage of better oppor
tunities offered by living In town.
In 1906 Mrs. Hill died leaving him
-?a wHewer, but with many homes In
which he was welcome. While he~ilk
ed to pastl back and forth and visit all
-his children he seemed to prefer to
call Mr. P. A. H ?avis' home.
He died-Jan. IS, 1922 and was laid
'to rest in his confederate uniform
which'he loved so well. It seems pe
culiarly fitting the birth and devh of
this patriotic cltlsen and good soldier
that he should have been born on the
anniversary of Washington's birthday
and died on the anniversary of I^ee i.
In spite ot the steady down pour of
rain there was a large gathering at
the funeral service which was held at
the home of Mr. P. A. Reavls, find a
long line of cars to follow the bier to
Its last, resting place In Oaklawn cem
etery. These with the abundance of
flowers sent by many friends born tes
timony to the feeUng of the commun
ity for this "father In Israel" who has
passed on over the river.
His grandsons acted aa pallbearers
and his grand-daughters placed the
flowers over his grave. The pallbear

WORLD RED CROSS JOfKf WAR
OS WAR
While the Red Cross tit its inception
was Mf agency designed to function
only during war, the mercy thus ax
tended has not tailed of a strong re
action in the minds and theories of
those who have been most active in Its
work.
One is probably safe in saying that
no one hates -war more than those
who have been most intimately engag
ed in it. It is Interesting, therefore,
that the International Committee ' of
the Red Cross and the League of Red
Cross Societies should have Joined in
such a proclamation as turn:
"The Red Cross owes it to all Its
many workers to proclaim as an ideal
and a practical Intention, a strugg.e
rcinst the horrors of war. an attempt
jhy -rorld-wlde help and unselflshWna
definitely to abolish war.
"The mere continuation of Red
Cross activity In time of peace will no
longer suffice. It is the wish of the
Red Cross to work in the Interest of
peace.
Therefore, the Red Cross calls up
on all whole-hearted citizens, irre.ipec
tlve of nationality, religious belief,
profession, or social rank, to Join, as
far as lies In their power, In a syste
matic campaign against, that spirit of
war. which Is % constant menace to
Iho world's pea1? "
Another funny thing Is that the
store that holds the most "Clean
Sweep" sales is not always the clean
est on? la town.
