PURYEAR Well Known Lawyer Passes Away at tJie Age of 82 Years. Tuesday as the words, “Hal Pifryear is dead.” were passed from man to man and from house to house, there were hun dreds who remembered him wheu he was in the pride of his manhood, the best shot in Cabarrus county and one of the best lawyers in the State. Henry S. Puryear was born on Easter Sunday, April 11, 1841, at “Shallow ’* Ford,” in Yadkin County. He was the v son of Hon. Richard C. Puryear, who served in both the Congress of the Unit ed States and the Congress of the Con- federate States, and his mother, Eliza ® beth Clingman. was a sistfr of Gen. Thos. 1 L. Clingman, who left the United States Senate to head a regiment in the South i era army. I Enlisting in the Guilford Greys in , 1801, Hal Puryear was a gallant and became a lieutenant of the staff of his uncle. Gen. Cuingman. s Educated ‘at the University of North Carolina and at Pearson’s famous law t school, he began the practice of law in Yadkinvnle where he remained until 1877 when he came to Concord to practice his 1 profession. His wonderful gift of annlyz i ing a case and foretelling the result rap idly brought him a good practice. Iu 181)7 failing health compelled him to abandon a/profession which he always , adorned. He was recognized by judges and lawyers with whom he came iu con s tact as a very able lawyer. Had he ik>k . sessed half the political ambition of some mediocres whom the political lightning has hit, he might have achieved distinc pition in some line as his distinguished f father and uncle. Had he stooped to the 3 spirit of commercialism now rampant, he might have won wealth and been declared a brilliant success. But his philosophy ' of life was far otherwise and who shall say that lie was not wise? “The paths i of glory lead but to the grave.” He lov .ed his friends and they loved him. He is gone but he has not lived in vain. His thought • and influence lives on in other lives. The funeral was conducted at 2 rOO o'clock this afternoon at All Saints' Epis copal Church by the refctor. The pall bearers were: William Gibson. Richard s Gibson, Hal Jarratt, Cameron Macßae, s J. Leonard Brown, and Maury Richmond. C. WOMEN AND COUNTRY LIFE. t* - • Farm Woman Is G-oing to Have Hei Say on the Farm Situation. St. Louis. Mo.. Oct. 15. —The farm [ * woman is going to have her say-'t'jn the 1 present agricultural situation, at least * from the home side of it. Her world has '* grown bigger. She is no longer satisfied to do kitchen keeping alone: she pro posses to know something about she so lution of her husband's problems in pro duction and marketing and any other business matters that make for the exist ence of her home. But above all that. s sly wants to know how the farm is go ing to be maintained if her boy runs to j the city, and also what kiud of a fel low her daughter is going to marry. The existence of these and numerous other ; problems of vital importance to farm - women Iras led the American Country Life Association to schedule them for dis cussion at its sixth annual conference to i be held in this city next month. The eon ference will be in Jhe nature of a sum r.jmuas. to speak. V’ Gie national experts ’-and nafionfal orguimatiops that are deal ing with some of these problems.” * Among the speakers will be: James R. Howard, of lowa, a former president of the American Farm Bureau Fetlera , tion : C. J. Galpiu. of the United States Department of Agriculture: Dr. X. I*. Colwell, of the American Medical Asso ciation : Dr. Caroline Hedger, of the j Elizabeth McCarmack Memoriad Fund: Miss Julia Wade Abbott.

Louis, who is a recognized authority on coun try life and social problems. Another. 1 evening of the country will be given over to addresses and papers dealing with the 1 conditions of rural life in England, l>eu niark, France, and other countries of Eu rope. It will be t.lie first time that a national conference devoted to the consideration, of the farm home has beeu held iu Am erica. It is the direct result of a de mand from American farm women that the interests of the farm liouie and of the rural community shall be conserved, and that the economic and political as pects of the farmers' movement shall not be allowed to overshadow the human welfare considerations. The chief aim of the conference will be directed towards bringing into ex istence a satisfying rural home—one that satisfies the normal longings of men,! women and children for a liapiTy full life as well as one that ties itself up with all community and human interests. 7,000 in Asheville City Schools. t ' Asheville, Oct. 18.—Approximately! 7,000 pupils enrolled in the city schools of Asheville during the first month'of the 1023-24 session, according to a report] this week *by Superintendent TV.
