TO
WORTH SALE
By ROTH LDTNBT
Worth Sale, ot Ronda, Route
2. near Brier Creek church,
passed into the great beyond sud
denly and without a struggle last
Monday and was burled last
Wednesday. Mr. Sale, who would
have been 22 in February, had
beta in usual health, attending
to his chickens and other farm
choree and had eaten a hearty
tneaL He was a former deputy
sheriff in Wilkes while Claud
Doughton was sheriff, a farmer
all his life, and an extensive rais
er of broiler chickens. In early
life he also taught school brief
ly in eastern Wilkes. As he said,
though he had only finished the
seventh grade,he knew more of
toe fundamentals than many
young people nowadays who had
finished high school.
Mr. Sale was the only son of
the^ late Squire George W. Sale
afad Mrs. Mary Carrender Sale.
His four Bisters, Misses Jennie,
ICattie, Armiaa and Ann Sale
were all grown when he was
boi{n, except Miss Ann, who was
nearly grown. He was a grand
son of "Uncle Joe" Carrender
and Tlrzah Sharon Carrender of
the old Carrender home in An
ttoch township. All his life was
spent on the Sale farm a little
more than a mile below old
Brier Creek church on the old
20. Though of somewhat frail
.physique, Mr. Sale was an ex
tremely hard-working man. As
was attested by the great throng
attending the funeral and the
profusion of lovely flowers, few
men in Wilkes were more widely
known or had more friends.
Ho man in easern Wilkes was
a ;more faithful attendant at
church and Sunday school. He
I -
united with old Brier Creek
church as a lad about fifty
years ago. On the death of his
| father he became clerk of the
old church about twenty years
ago. He also led the choir. As
Mr. Sale confessed in prayer
meeting a few days before his
death, his life was not without
faults; he would not want to be
painted as perfect. His effort was
laudable. To quote Robert Brown
ing, "A man's reach should ex
ceed his grasp or what's a heav
en for?"
Mr. Sale was married in 1912
to Miss Laura Mae Harrill, us
ually known as "Lollie", who
survives. She was the foster
daughter of the late Mr. Harvey
S. Vftnnoy and the late Mrs. Kate
Wellborn Vannoy. Also surviving
are the two children, George
Harvey and Mary Kate (Mrs.
Graham Myers), both of Elkin.
Still living, too, are his second
sister. Miss Mattie E. Sale, of
Ronda and Elkin, who taught
school 50 years; and his young
est sister, Mrs. W. G. Church, of
Elkin. His oldest sister, Miss
Jennie, died young. Another sis
ter, Miss Armisa, passed away
several years ago. Mr. ^Sale pnd
his wife had partially reared a
few orphan boys. One was living
with them at the time of his
death.
At the funeral service a pow
erful and consoling prayer was
made by Rev. J. L. Powers. Rev.
C. C. Holland's sermon was most
beautiful. For about thirty years
he had been a close friend of
Mr. Sale. Mr. Holland, who has
a very beautiful and comforting
voice, quoted much -poetry, some
of which had grown rather too
familiar, but which recaptured
all its freshness by its unique
fittingness and Mr. Holland's ex
quisite diction. Rev. R. R. Crat
er, the pastor, read the obituary
and paid sincere and touching
tribute to Worth Sale, who he
said was perhaps .his closest
friend. Interment was in the Sale
plot in old Brier Creek ceme
tery.
Mr. Sale was a friendly and
jolly man. His life was inter
| woven with the church work at

Here is a car?one of a whole
parade of brilliant 1950

We can now.
Never before could we give you
a choice of four wheelbases,
three engine sizes and five power
ratings.
We can now.
Never before could we offer you
an array of models that ranges
from simple, practical utility
type coupes to sportsters as sleek
and commanding as the stun

have higher compressions and
