O. a* aecond FRANKLIN COUNTY FARM ITEMS By W. C. Boyce, Assistant County Agent ? ?????? Horse and Male Situation In United States Neglect to breed mares be tween 1925 and 1933 has left the United States with an excess of horses and mules over 10 years and .not enough between. 3 and 10 years of age. As a result, there will be a national shortage of about 175,000 horses and 325, 000 mules when the 1937 work season opens up, according to in formation Assistant County Agri cultural Agent, W. C. Boyce, has ]ust received from Wayne Dins more, SecraU^T-of the Horse and Muje Association of America. "Wanted, ? Stud Horses and Jackasses" is the name of the new leaflet (No. 225) which gives complete information about the horses and mules in every state. Extra copies may be obtained, free, from County Agent, W. C. Boyce. It is a mighty Interesting little leaflet, packed full of worth while Information for every far mer. Dinsmore's figures show that North Carolina will have to im port about 3,600 work horses and approximately 29,000 work mules from other states, for replace ments alone before the 1937 work season Btarts; that is, colts raised in North Carolina in 1934 will fall short that number of equalling losses by death in 1936. This means that over $5,400,000 in cash will have to be paid out by North Cktolina farmers, for work animals, many of which they might easily have raised. Breeding is increasing, and It is estimated there will be about one million horse and mule colts foaled and raittd this year, but death losses 1936 will be a round 1 ,200.0^0 ; so there will be much need for'nore good sires tor some years to come. Farmers who are interested may obtain a popy of this leaflet, (No. 225) by calling at the Coun ty Agent's Office.

Person, one of Gold Sand community's most estimable women and who waa held in the highest esteem by her neighbors and acquaintances, died at her home, following a short illneaa, at 6:30 Saturday evening. She was in her 90th year and was pro ceeded to the grave by her hus band, 8am J. Person in 1911. She is survived by two. sons, Messrs. W, S. and M. M. Person, who lived at the old home with her; and Emily Burt, Frances, Maur ice, Jr., and Margaret Person, grandchildren, and many more distant relatives. Mrs. Person was the last member of her im mediate family. She was a true friend, and her devotion to those she loved would make a bright chapter in any life. Nothing but the thought of the loving hand that has removed her can reconcile her absence. While she has gone from the scenes, the conflict!, the sorrows and pleas ures of life, she will still live In the heart* of those who knew her best. .Her retiring nature led ber to -hide her best Qualities, but they were revealed to those who enjoyed ber acquaintance, yet it waa In her home that her true worth was most conspicuous. She was a kind and loving moth er and her devotion to her family clrele and friends had no limit. It may be said of this dear life "God touched her with Hia An ger and she slept," but not until a beautiful life was lived, a noble example of patience, fidelity to truth and faith were given. Not until visions of a heavenly life, had cheered ?nd illumined .the valley of the shadow. And now. that she sleeps, memory takes up the harp of life, and smiting the strings. findB that her virtues melt into music. She was a de voted member of Sarepta Meth odist church. The funeral services were con- j ducted from the home Sunday af ternoon at 3:30 o'clock by her pastor, Rev. L. C. Brothers, as sisted by Rev. Wm. Towa, of Rocky Mount, Rev. B. O. Merritt, of Klttrell, and Rev. J. R. Ed wards. The Interment was made at Oaklawn cemetery where her remains.were laid to rest by the side of those of her husband.

A TRIBUTE *"? On July the third Qod visited the White Level community and took from its midst our beloved friend and neighbor, Mr. J. Q. House. Mr. House would have been seventy-one years old had he liv ed until the twelfth day f>t July. He had lived his three score years and ten, so Qod called him home. Earth is sadder because of his go ing, but we believe heaven is much brighter because of l)i? presence. He had been feeble for] many years suffering frofe stroke of paralysis, then fhe Me- 1 ond stroke came and claimed hlpi. He bore his suffering patiently not complaining believing Jiia.MiI-, ferlng was for the purpose cf bringing him into a closer rela tionship with Ood. We that vis ited into his home believe he en- 1 joyed the quiet and clos? teilow-j ship with Ood. Being his health*) did not permit him to worlc lift, time was spent in meditation up- ' on Ood's great truths and love, i Sometimes it takes afflictions to , bring us to this place, but we do believe Ood works in mysterious ways his wonders to perform. The funeral services were held at white Level church on July j the fourth coaflucted by Rev."T.J O. Walker and was Sffctended by a ! large number of ..people. His grandsons acted as pallbearers and granddaughters as Jfjower girls. The floral tribute was beautiful speaking love and Gfr teem for the deceased. The in terment was made at White Lev el cemetery. He Is survived by'lils wife and eight children, live boys and three girls. ? ? A Friend. No Langhing Matter Draper: These are especially strong shirts, madam. They slmpl ly laugh at the laundry.
