Coach Mayfield used many reserves and several who had not played in a regular game before.

Collections Of Seed Loans Ahead 1934 Payments Despite the late fall and short cotton crop, farmers who borrowed money from the government through the Seed Loan Office here are paying back their loans better this year than last, it was learned yesterday from J. C. Howard, field inspector who has supervision over the local office as well as over offices in other counties. Mr. Howard said that $110,000 was placed in the hands of 1163 farmers from the Warren county office for the purpose of assisting them in producing their crop this year and that approximately 85 per cent of this money had been paid back. "Collections are a little better this year than they were last year at the same time," he said. Out of 1163 loans made, Mr. Howard said that approximately 750 persons had paid out in full and 250 had made partial pay ments. The government man attribi uted the lateness of the cotton crop to the failure of the others to make a payment, but stated that the cotton is in the fields and that he is expecting to get the money due Uncle Sam. ^ - Breaks Arm In Football Game Ralph Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Williams of Warrenton, had iris left arm broken in two places yesterday afternoon when he made a flying tackle for a man during a football game between the John Graham High School and the Littleton High School.

Wiley Post Plane Goes To Museum Bartlesville, Okla., Nov. 21.?The stroig white wings and purpletrimmed fuselage of the Winnie Mae, the plane Wiley Post piloted cn two round-the-world flights, were packed today into the cramped darkness of a freight car for her last journey. An old ship at the age of five years?Wiley said "they ought '.o put her in a museum and maybe me with her" when she failed him on his last sub-stratosphere flight? the Winnie Mae will trundle on rails across the country to rhe Smithsonian Institution, to hang beside Col.

Garber, assistant curator of aeronautics tor the institution, "but we decided we could not take the chance of having anything happen to her. "As an historical exhibition, the plane and its equipment is priceless. The price to be paid Mrs. Post for her, $25,000, is almost inadequate." Congress voted last August 16, the day the news was received of the deaths of Post and Will Rogers in an Alaskan crash, to buy the ship. An appropriation bill for $25,000 to pay for it will be introduced at the next session. Mrs. Post loaned the plane to the institution pending the purchase, Garber explained.

DAVIS IS BURIED SUNDAY I Had Been In Poor Health For Several Years; End Comes Saturday FUNERAL FROM HOME I Tiie remains of William Jones Davis, 71, were laid to final rest in Fairview cemetery on Sunday afternoon following funeral services I conducted from his home here at 3 o'clock by his pastor, the Rev. O. I. Hinson, Methodist minister. Mr. Davis died at his home on Saturday morning at 3:30 o'clock I following an illness which had kept him confined rather closely to his home for several years. He was a mail carrier here until a few years ago when he completed his term and was retired from active service. . During the time that he was delivering the mail he also engaged in farming operations both in Warren and Franklin counties. Mr. Davis, the son of Col. W. 8. Davis and Elizabeth Jones Davis, was born in Warren county where he spent his entire life. Before moving to Warrenton to make his home, he lived at Melrose, about three miles from Warrenton, and at Warren Plains. In addition to his wife, who before her marriage was Miss Hannah Barham of Franklin county, he is survived by the following children: William Barham of Liberty, S. C., Martin Jones of Warrenton, Dr. R. B. of Greensboro, Walter Armistead of Clayton, Robert Mcllwain of Stuart, Va., Haywood McCabe of Fort Wayne, Ind., Joseph Speed of Greensboro, John Early of High Point, Miss Bessie May Davis of Warrenton, and Miss Louise Davis of Greensboro. He is also survived by four brothers, John B. Davis, Frank Davis, Marvin Davis, and Julian Carr Davis of Richmond, and one sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Borchers, a missionary v sr,-. t in Brazil. Pallbearers were W. N. Boyd, Hugh White, Allen Hilliard, Bignall Jones, Duke Jones, Alpheus Jones, Boyd Davis and Gordon Poindexter. JONES PAYS TRIBUTE TO MEMORY OF NEIGHBOR I shall miss my neighbor, friend and kindsman, William Jones Davis, who passed from earthly scenes to heavenly joys on Saturday morning, November 16th. To me and to his neighbors and friends he was always kind and hospitable. When I moved to my home here his was the first hand extended to me in welcome, and with that hand he brought food for our supper. Mr. Davis was a man who did not spend his time in idleness, and in consequence he provided well for his family, and gave each of them an education, and to the Army and Navy four fine sons, one of whom, Edward Davis, heroically pleaded for the lives of his comrades being shelled by a German submarine, and was shot for his valor. Mr. Davis' home was a hospitable home; his kindred, his friends nmi fVic Ayrinictorc nf t.hfi rirysrvl fil U11U ATAUMUWAW W* ?HV w ways found it so. He was greatly blessed in his marriage to Miss Hannah Barham?a lady of culture, refinement and acknowledged intellectuality. She is a great-granddaughter of Nathaniel Macon, and connected with many of the old families of Warren and Franklin counties. Their married life was one of devotion, and I feel as the Poet who said: "Bless be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above." My neighbor has passed from among us, but left the memory of hearty greetings, of kindly deeds and neighborly kindnesses. He was not a Pharisee; he did not proclaim his good deeds; but his neighbors knew and his Savior knew, and he has passed to that Home prepared for those who love the Lord. HOWARD F. JONES SR.
