C. H. HUNTER
jC. H. Hunter
Will Observe
Birthday Friday
Carl H. Hunter will celebrate his
82nd birthday tomorrow, April 20th.
While not a native of this county
he has been here long enough to
know more of our citizens and to
number his friends in largo num
i bers than almost any other citizen
of the county. He came here just
about the time that the Noell
, brothers moved . in, coming front' -
near Morejread City.
He entered the grocery business
and was most successful, so much
so that he retired as one of our
capitalists about ten or twelve years
ago. That of itself attests to his
business ability, for in our long
experience we have known very few
of our friends in position to take
such a step; true, now and then
one of our godd Methodist ministers
lias retired after long and useful
I years, but not because he has
reached the stage where he has no
further call to carry on, but an ac
count of long and faithful service.
Mr. Hunter has, and is a, useful
citizen, and many there ate who
i will testify to the fact that when
!in need he came to their rescue.
: Truly, he is one who did not let
his right hand know wha„ nis left
: hand did, for when he lent a help
i ing hand it was not for publication.
Long may he live, we all ’ove hint
