JACItoON COUNTY UNION MEETING ----- ; ; Perha - the greatesUM the: history of the Jackson Comity; Umon was held in, the auditorium of the Sylva Collegiate Institute on Friday and Saturday of last week. The meeting was great not alone nthe spirit that' pervade deach ses sion, but in plans made for f utber- ng the cause of Christian Education in the bounds of the Tuckaseigee Association and of adjoing Associa- tions. Plans were consummated for raising the remainder of the $20,000 by the different associations which s to be supplemented by an ad ditional $20000 from the Home Mission Board of the Southern Bap tist Convention. The enthusiasm of those present for the Sylva Col legiate Institute was very marked and the prospect for the future was never brighter. The 3rd Sunday in May was set apart for asimultaneous campaign in behalf of the school. Now, as never before, is: the time for friends of Christian Education to rally to the school and place it on the Diane or usefulness it so well deserves. The doctrine of Co-operation was the keynote of every talk. On the various subjects under consideration interesting and help ful talks were made by T. C. Bryson, Prof. Ingram, Rev. A. C. Queen, Rev. T. F. Deitz and others, but perhaps 'he greatest speech of them all was made by the Hon. u. u. Cowan to the preachers of the Association of whom there were some twelve or fifteen present. On Friday evening Rev. T. F. Deitz of Bryson, iu his very pleasant but impressive ; style, preached to an interested congregation. On Sat urday evening and on Sunday morn ing Rev. J. O. Fulbright of Carthage N. C. preached to a very appreciative congregation. This closed a great meeting, from which will go influences that wilt tell mightily in the future of - the Baptist cause in Jack son County: Miss Dorothy McKee; who is in school at Greensboro, is spending a - ; few days with her mother, Mrs, Canie McKee, lrTnif iiniaA i hi ii n' iiii,, uPmM iiiMi jiiwiPi beeu in camp wi.i of which wi-l be be invited announced to as MANY inOVtUTS mm. e.

It will also provide a home for the Experiment btation forces, both or tnese im- Dortant agencies receive much of their support from the United States Treasury, either directly from the Treasury, or as an offset from the State,Treasury in accordance with the Smith-Lever law.

COLLEGE SALE POSTPONED Wm. Johnston, Jr., who is admin- i istrator of the Johnston heirs nron- ty which is located in this county and who advertised that the prop erty would be sold the first day of April, decided last Tuesday to post pone the sale Until a future date which will be advertised in this paper. - This is a very desirable piece of property for several reasons, chief of which is that there is a large quan tity of fine timber on it PROF. J. C. MOOSE. I was greatly shocked upon hear ing of the death of Prof. James C. Moore, which occurred at his home at Speedwell Friday, March 14th. Boing absent from home I was un able to attend the funeral services, which I regret very much. Prof. Moore was born and reared in Macon county. He attended school at the Cullowhee Normal and Industrial School at Cullowhee. While there he made a brilliant record, and won several high honors, as verified afterward by his career in life. He chose teaching as a pro fessionentering into the work at an early age. He was ever faithful in his task and neer tried to shirk public duty. His fame as a teacher has spread throughout the county. He put his who e heart and soul into ihe work, which is shown bv the ; many years that he devoted to the j profession, as well as the goodly in fluences that followed his work. He was always striving for the better ment of the community, and seek ing to raise the standards of educa tion and morality. We, as teachers, axe 8orry.indeed to lose Io, Moore foraiHhe ring; fbls W''edIftM'fe have lost one Of the county's most able teachers. Prof. Moore was principal of the John's Creek school for two year.. He was also superintendent of the John's Creek Baptist Sunday school during that time. Under his super vision both flourished greatly, and the entire community suffered a great loss when he moved away, for we realized that we had lost one of our strongest men. We had learned to love him as a neighbor and friend, for he was always found to be strictly honest and upright in all his dealings toward his fellowman Prof. Moore's health had been impaired for several years. He suf fered an attack from influenza last fall, which left him id a vry weak condition. Later, he fell a victim to that fatal disease.', consumption which is rarely, if ever, overcome. The burial took " place Sunday, March 16th, at the Speedwell cem etery. The services were conducted by Rev. R. L. Foster. Prof. Moore is survived by a wife and four children, besides the many friends and relatives. He won the friendship of all those with whom he came in contact or chanced to meet. May we lend our sympathy to the bereaved family. Though their loss is great, it is Heaven's gain. Remember the words of the poet "Life is real! -Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust returneth. Was not spoken of the soul." Cyrus H. Nicholson. Cowarts, March 24th, 1919.

BOYS' BEEF CONTEST. Dear readers: -Knowing that the years from 12-18 are the most crit ical in a boy's life, we wish to or ganize the ambitious, energetic and anxious boys into the Boys Baby Beef Feeding Contest: The plan is this: such boys t secure a calf from 8-14,- pasture it. eed it as the proper authorities see tit and market it in co-onftrflf inn . with the other members through the help of County Demonstrator; thir will teach the whole County hat organization means in remunera tion, as well as in fitting Beef for the best maiket and in marketing ourselves and in keeping records. We favor this because of the sad neglect in feeding, in selecting prop er feeding animals and because we want the searching mind of this mportant period in a boy's life to find its very best self. Let the parents or guardians of such boys encourage these dear ones o join with their whole being. Let every boy have a chance. If here be one unable to get such a calf, let him see the County Agent. When the boys and their legal advisors have thought this out, let us urge the boys to send their names and addresses, together with ages. to :: County Agent. Sylva, March 24th, 1919. DAfID GR1GBLE. David Coleman Gribble, son of Rufus and Martha Ann Gribble, was born April 10, 1893, and crossed over the great divide February: 23, 1919. rlis passing baa left us sad and lonely, but also with hope and joy. Dayid professed salvation, a par- sion, m, Apra ana joinea wp&:;x ' leyana Metnodist Lhurcn., The pride- NJ of his family, generous an&kind, he was a favorite with young and old alike, h The children cried when he was called to the service, and sobbed. heart-broken, around his bier on the funeral day he was their friend, and they loved him. On June 24th, last, David started for Camp Jackson, telling his sister who bade him goodbye last that he was omg to get back I close to the Lord and live better than ever. He never returned, even on a furlough. Never strong in health, he became ill and was in the hospital from January 16 to the day of his deatbv His sister Carrie as loyal a sister as ever was reacned nis bedside on Friday before he died, and pray ed ancwatched with him constantly to the end. The last time he recog nized her he told her, "I am going home." To the chaplains and others who inquired how he was, as the angel of death hovered near, he re plied, I am all right" With breaking heart the faithful sister brought the body home, where it was laid to rest in the Wesleyana cemetery. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. A. Cook . and the pastor, Rev. John Cline. There was a great concourse of relatives and friends in attendance, "So great that the church would not contain half; so the services were held in the churchyard. The grief of the loved ones was piteous; his sister, whose errand of love h-M seemingly, but not really been ia vain, was almost inconsolable.- David has just crossed . over tt; river before us. He leaves, besiu 'S father and mother, five sisters ai one brother, and a large circle of relatives and friends who mourn his . absence. May our Blessed Lord bring them all Home to meet him in Glory; and may the splendid young soldiers, who acted as pall bearers and helpers in the funeral service, be ready when the angelic bugler calls assembly for them tool ' "Press onward then, tho foes may frown, : : " While mercy's gate is open; Accept the, cross, and win the crown, . Love's everlasting token. Beyond the river's brink we'll lay The cross thai here is given And bear the crown of life away, And loye him more in Heaven. Joqh Curnv s 1- -4- -W.
