It was indeed a pleasant occasion and we delighted to min gle with the two hundred people present there to enjoy the splendid dinner that had been prepared by the neighbors and friends of Mr Dixon. There were present there some twelve men that ranged in age 67 years to 88 years of age, all hale and hearty. The table was set in the front yard and the 60 foot in length and 2 foot wide was literally loaded with viands fit to tempt a king. Among other things were boiled ham, fried chicken, pies, custard, more than 30 cakes and in fact anything that was good to eat. Mr. Dixon is even 75 years of age today, March 22 and his next door neighbor, S. D. Brewer, was 67 years of age on Sunday. Other men 0 years of age or over pre sent were John W.

Mrs. David Evans resides in High Point and the other son, M. W , lives in Pulaski, Tenn. The last named sent a nice box of fruit, home made candy and a birthday cake. In Memory Many 1 earts were made sad on Feb. 23rd, 1922, when the death angel called at the home of John E. Clarke and took the spirit of Mrs. Clarke back to the One who gave it. In early life she professed faith in Jesus Christ and joined Cen ter M. P. church, of which she remained a member until her marriage to Mr. Clark. Then she joined Err. mausBaptist church and remained a faithful member until her death, always taking an active part in all chuich and Sun day school work. At her death she was presi dent of the W. M. U. and we will miss her to lead and direct us in this great organization, as well as in other activities in the com munity. She was a kind mother, a de voted wife and a friend to all who knew her. She leaves four small children, the oldest being 15 and the young est 3 to mourn their loss, a hus band, brothers and sisters and a host of other friends and rela tives. She was laid to rest in Emmaus cemetery amid her relatives and a host of friends. The funeral was conducted by her pastor, Rev. L. R. Dixon. BERTHA DIXON. Mt. Gilead Personals Mr. and Mrs. S. J.

Confidence and Respect THE FARMERS' BANK Pittsboro, N. C. FOR SOLICITOR Marshall T. Spears of Harnett Coun ty to Run Our esteemed contemporary, The Harnett County News, pub lished at Lillington, the courty seat of Harnett, has the follow ing to say in regard to Marshall T. Spears: Marshall T. Spears, of Lilling ton, solicitor of the recorder's court, is being urged to enter the race for solicitor of this iudicial district comprising the counties of Chatham, Lee, Harnett. John ston and Wayne. Mr. Spears has not as yet definitely decided upon what course he wiU take in the matter. He has under ad visement the solicitation of many frierds m Chatham, Lee and Harnett. Hon. Walter D. Siler now holds the job of solicitor. There has arisen, however, a considerable revolt against what is termed the "Siler machine" in Chatham, and numbers of citizens over that way declare they are determined to oust Mr. Siler. Several causes are assigned for this step on the part of opponets of the solicitor. There is complaint that he is not prosecuting bluckaders with the vim and vigor becoming a solici tor. But that is only one of tne "kicks." Chathamites opposed to his renomination expiess their extreme weariness of the "Siler dictatorship." Marshall T. Spears is one of Harnett county's busiest attor neys. Also, he is one ot the mo.-1 popular lawyers of the local ba-. After returning from servica overseas, his health was not or the very best, but after a fev months in Oteen hospital he r -sumed his practice and has kej t steadily at it ever since. His nt -merous friends would be greatly pleased to see him elevated from solicitor of the recorder's court to that of the superior court. Spears is another one of these brave lads that volunteered h s services during the world war and deserves the consideratio i of-sver yone. H ia services would be all right bees use he is a ybung man of ability, determination and a lawyer of splendid attainment'. The Record welcomts the infor mation carried by Harnett coun ty's splendid family paper.
