coczmGHAii, fost-dispatcz PAGE THEES In Memorian. William Pemberton Stapback, son of David Stanba& who was thef son of Thomas Stanback of Halifax County, N. C was born Dec 24th; ; 1824, in Richmond County and died Feb. 17, 1918 in Anson county at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Emma Robinson. October 2nd, 1853, he married Miss Octavia Chandler of Gran ville. County, N. C Attending a commencement of The Greens boro Female College, Dr. Charles F. Deems being president, a girl read a superb graduating thesis. Addressing a stranger by his side asked, "Who is that beautiful girl?" Reply. "She is my daugh ter, Octavia Chandler." Bom to this union three daughters and two sons. Surviving him are David, Rosa, Emma, and Pannie: Marcellus having attained unto a fairer shore. A typical union of affianced hearts they led the life of landed proprietors of the South. Given to hospitality, pure, simple, gen erous and elaborate. A gentle man of the old school, as dear o'uld Robbie Burns wrote: "0 a' the trades I do ken, Commend me to the ploughman." He never sought, and never held public office. Content to dwell by his own inglesides, dispending kindness to all. Considerate of his slaves he was master, father, guardian, and friend to them. A successful culivator of land he reaped more abundant harvest of hog and hominy than his neighbors. Loyal to the Confed- : eracy, he did not sell, but gave to the Confederate Government at one time 6,000 pounds of bacon to feed the ragged, hungry boys on the firing line. A progressive man. First in Richmond County to introduce the mule, and own er of the first buggy ever brought to the county. A genuine boy of nature he loved his broad acres of Pee Dee River bottom and the woodland hills adjoining. He drank deeply of the: "Land of brown heath and stately wood. Land of the hills and the flood: Land of my sires! what mortal hand. Can e'er untie the filial band That knits my soul to thy allu vial sand. With equipoise and man-hood strenght he confronted conditions and calmly surveyed and weighed the problems of life. Distinguish ed for making friends, he also possessed the rare gift of keeping themr His courtesy, gentleness, and geniality won all hearts Great overwhelming grief came to him April 24th., 1907, in the loss of his wife, his helpmeet of over fifty years. A Blue Stocking Presbyterian he was always found on the right side of all questions tending to uplift of humanity. He bore with eauanimitv. and stocial resignation the trials, afflictions, and bereavements that came during the long years meted out to him far beyond the span of ordinary life. His mind rang clear as a silver bell till the last, recognizing his friends and ask ing the news. He took special delight in telling, "I have seen 95 Christmases, and am 94 years old." His life was a well written page of an open book, and like Samuel could say, I am old and gray headed, and my two sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day. Behold here I am Witness against me before the Lord, and before his annointed: Whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I op pressed? or of whom have I re ceived a bribe to blind mine own eyes therewith?" . r Silently as the shadows of the evening . fall, his gentle spirit passed to the Great Beyond, to be sweetly greeted bv Tave on the golden shore, happy and free where parting will be no more.

George Davis, an employe on the farm, saw the wonderful work of this remedy and took it with this result. "Peplac has worked wonders for me. I have already gained twelve pounds in good, solid weight and am thankful that Peplac was brought to us."
