Fnn eral Taesday Afteraoen From BmI desee. ? Loulsburg was wrapped tn sorrow early Monday morning when announ cement was made' that Mr. George W. Ford, one of Its most Influential and substantial citizens was dead. Mr. Forfl was taken 111 only about a week before his death, but his condition was not considered serious until pneumonia developed on Friday from which time reports from TiKbedsIdT were eagerly sought and always with the-tarpe of being better, showing him on the road to recovery. Mr. Fori "was In his seventy -t&ird ~ year and had lived a long and useTul life. Coming to Loulsburg soon af ter the Civil war he began his career, starting at >he bultuui will! OBly WM Indomitable energy, ability and -deter mination, From the time of his en trance Into the life of Loulsburg he was successful and added both to his store and to the town and community. Although Mr? Ford was classed as a conservative he was also progressive. _He was most always found on the tor ? ? ward side of all questions. He was in the moulding and completing of all improvements enjoyed by the citizens of this community and his death will be quite a loss to each Individual of the county. In recognition of his public Interests he has been honored by the people Of Loulsburg by having been repeatedly elected to member . 5p on the Board of Town Commls : . Tiers for a long number of years, i. ng 'which tlme-the town has made t - wonderful progress that It haa h without the recognition of one w,i. .-d not frequently visited It. li; i.ts private life he waB generous and i! \?e and many are the families In the more needy , circumstances that will miss his charitable and friendly influence. In his home he was a most gentle and loving parent and husband and a neighbor that was greatly prized by all whose pleasure it was to be so situated that they could fully realize his worth. He was married twice, first to Miss Alice Singleton, to whom one son was born and who now survives, Dr. S. C. Ford, of Frankllnton, sec ond to MiH Lula Stegall, to which un* ion two children were born, Mrs. F. H. Allen and Mr. Edward S. Ford, both of whom now survives. He 18 also survived by his wife, Mrs. Ford. The funeral services were held from the home on Main Street at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, all business in town being suspended and business houses closed during the service which' was conducted by Rev. G. F. Smith, pastor of the Methodist Church, as sisted by Rev. J. A. Mclver, pastor- of the Baptist Church . A qjiolr sweetly sang "Jesus Lover of My Soul" and after the scriptural reading "Nearer My God To Thee", after which the re mains of the deceased were taken to Oaklawn Cemetery and laid to rest In the family square. The services at the grave were especially impressive and the special music appropriate. And the profusion &f beautiful kow ers were doubly .expressive of the high esteem and great loVe and respect which he enjoyed from his fellows In life. The large umber in attendance at the services was only exoeeded pos* sibly, by the number who paid a. last tribute to our late Governor Blckett. The pallbearers were W. H. Yarbor ough' P. B. Griffin, A. W. Person, W. B. Tucker, F. R. Pleasants, P. 8. Allen, T. W. Watson. The bereaved family has the deep est sympathy of the entire community. RESOLUTIONS.

The following latter has be&u re ceived from Lieut. T. W. Raffia and will be read with much Interest by our many reader*: Camp Brags, N. C. Aug. 10th. 1922. Mr. A. P. Johnson, Editor Franklin Times, Lcutsburg, N. C. Dear Mr. Johnson Thinking probably that you, and the people of the county might be in terested to know how Battery "B" Is taking to caryp life, I am snatching a few minuted from my military duties to give you all a brief account of the Battery's life since lea ring home. We left with a fine breakfast and the greatest quantity of food tor dinner also, thankB tn Maj ft g RhiUIa Mr P. B. Griffin, Mrs. G. A. Ricks and the other ladles and gentlemen who so kindly extended the men this splen "prbruseln't^^ egression's el" appre^ elation, V We reached camp about six o'clock in the afternoon, detrained immediate ly and marched about one mile to our quarters, which consist of regular py ramidial tents housing eight men each Mess Sergeant J. C. Harklns was on hiB job and served a good supper, In short order and the battery turned In for the night. Promptly at 6.45 A. M. the bugle sounded reveille and seventy-one clvWa'ns turned lnto~ sol diers . We round our instructors cour teous gentlemen all, and the men have responded in a spirit of willingness that does every officer's heart good. At the first officer's call Battery "B" was complimented for the military courtesy they had shown for the two preceedlng days. Our record being not a single call down for failure to salute, **hlch record, X am sorry to say, was not made by the other bat teries In our batallion. Today It was read out in the regimental headquar ters officer's meeting that Battery "B" bad the cleanest kitchen in the camp, which means that Battery "B" out ranked all North Carolina and Virgin ia outfits now in training here. The credit for this honor Is due to the ability ot Sgt. J. C. HarklnB and the general co-operation of all the men. We are proud of this record. And as an officer of the Battery in charge of the guns, I am personally proud Of the showing the men have made In hand ling the howitzers. I had no Idea that they would fall into their duties so qutckly. There Is a Spirit of alert* ness to duty thruout the entire battery, The men like their duties, which while stringent allow plenty of time for re creation. About three hundred yards from camp, we have a splendid swim ming pool to cool off in. One quarter of a mile from us is located the theatre where good moving pictures are shown each evening. Close by also is a canteen where ice cream, Boft drinks and etc. are obtainable. --The afternoons are devoted largely to baseball and other games, with oc casional trips to Fayettevllle. In brief Franklin County's Battery ot artil lery id making a splendid showing and the men are having a good time. Again thanking eyerybbdy tor all courtesies shown us, personally, and In behalf of all the battery. Y. W. A.

Hundreds of (row ers who had followed the policy of "Walt and tee" In the hop* of ??wnl ly high prices on the opening sale* of the warehouse floors in Wilson, wen doomed to disappointment today. ? in spite of a tendency to rata* the price on the lowest grades, there was evident disappointment UuU the batter grades did not-brlng higher pricaa. In very tew Instances reaching flfty cents More marketing contracts were sign ed In the town of Wilson tbday than in the history of the Tobacco Growers' Cooperative Marketing Association. Held Xass Xe?ln* Following the insistent demand of the growers. ? miss hMm of tam ers was called in the court boose aad the court -room was filled u> uvwfluw lng with every seat, aisle and window nlll ruimUQj tutmixu .W listened Intently and broke Into shouts of applause at the message of R. M. Worft and Mr. .Blanks, the Kentuck lans, who were hastily summoned from other points to make their last appeal today to tlte farmers of (Eastern Caro Xneh K nth atlas ? Never In the entire ?"T?ip of the association have tobacco growers shown such enthusiasm tor cooperative marketing as that expressed In the cheers of 300 growers which echoed from the court house windows In tba streets of Wilson. The loyal inias bera of the association crowded so fast Into the court room that many non signers were unable to gain entrance, and when a show ot hands were called for, 90 per cent of thofee present wa^g. seen to be members of the marketing association. More than halt ot those who failed to raise their hands aa members Joined the association on tUa last day of the campaign. Speaks to Growers R. M. Works, Kentucky member of the Burley Pool, said: "In 1920 we continued to give our | tobacco away to the tune of 10 cents a | ponnd where it cost us 26 cents to ' make it, but today we have redrled our green tobacco, kept a good per cent of our best tobaccos and sold a large lot ot the common green tobacco which would have gone tor 3 and 4 cents at auction tor 23 cents and mil lions of pounds more tor 18 cents. That is co-operative marketing." Companies Friends John Blanks, another Kentucky grower and member of the Barley Pool s&id: "The tobacco companies are our friends vd customers. The rea son they have taken our tobacco for low prices Is that we have dumped it down and begged them to pay us what they could instead of mercbaa dising It like business men as the co operative associations have now begun ito do." A glowing report of the operation | of the board inul ers was brought te I the mass meeting ot tobacco growers in Wilson by J. L. Barnes, tobacco farmer at Kenly. who witnessed the co-operative warehouses at Lumber - ton in action last Monday. Farmer Testttes "I have had 16 or 17 years experience in marketing tobacco in Wilson, as my friends In this meeting know" said Mr. Barnes and declared cooperative marketing "Is the cleanest, nicest-sys tem of handling tobacco I have ever seen and the grading the finest". The first day's operation of the auc tioning markets has unquestionably started a strong movement ot the un signed farmers of Eastern Carolina towards cooperative marketing.
