Nuraerosity of Goats Requires Ex pert Dodders. Mr. Editor: In that very thrilling incident youvgave last week of the 'Shepnerttiand the Billy . Goat," ; you , say,,, that shepherds are not as bold now as in olden times."

The fact is that there are now so many goats of bothsexes and of uch viru lent types that the true shep hred has to use -a lotrOf inven tive skill and use alj.a soT.ts of strategy i n order that he;t may., pass in and m and M out - Dewe ft fs'f e w sliepp withT any degree; of safety.

WEDNESDAY, North Wii.kiosboro Charlie Wellborn Dead" One of the saddest deaths that.; has ever befell our townand com munity was that of- Mr. Charlie. Wellborn which occurred- about 8-o'clock, Saturday evenings at the residence of hia father, Mr. J. T: Vellborn. His death was unexpected and a severe shock to aU. Ht) had been sick for a couple of weeks, but he was ; ap parently much improved. Less than an, hour before his death the doctor had lert him in good con dition and joviaFspirits. It ' was- reasonably expected that he would be up and out - again thisJ week. But; he was suddenly-taken-worse, and a.blood clot about yhis heart smothered out the candle of his young life inCa few, short moments.- Charlie Wellborn wouTd have been 21 years old in August. He was a bright, honorable, generous, true, big-hearted boy and was a favorite with all. Always ready and willing and talented, he was an invaluable aid inall the com-.x mencements and entertainments. He had in him the elements that tvttract friendships and make no ble men. Since he -was a little tot, he off and 011 worked in this print shop and . we have always tel aimed him as one of us. Along with the others, this print shop offers its bouquet of love and friendship wet with tears fresh from the heart. I The funeral services were con ducted Monday morning at the Presbyterian church hy the pastor Rev. C. W. Robinson, The band bqys, his companions, dressed, in their white uniforms,, acted as pall bearers, and the girls of his class at the Graded, School, gowned in white, followed the pall, bearers bearing a profusion of floral offer ings. It was a pretty sight, touching to tears the hearts of all. An immense crowd was . present. After the services,. he was; laid . to rest in the town cemetery. A Tribute Mr. Editor: I want to join with the people of the community in placing a flower upon the grave of Charlie . Well born. I, along with others, have been so much intersted in the young men of our town, that I think that my acts and associations with them have shown my concern in, all that. would be of help to them. Of late I have been thrown mucb. with Charlie and learned to know gome thing of his desires and purpose in life. He was preparing for College and would have entered this fall. His purposes were laudable and his ideals high.-. He possessed fine traits and special gifts would have made a nobksrnari. But the good Lord willed7 otherwise" The floral offerings Monday by his comrades and friends was a noble tributef and. a..:beautifur expression of hearts filled with love od respect. It was the -right thing ard made ou-r.hearts glad to see it. But,- dear friends he needed some of those flowers last week and all along-his daily ..life among us. This floral tribute came. a little too late to do him any good. "I -'-appeal, to all tbe good people to help, our -boy a by giving; them flowers and kind words; of en couragement while they still live .The. Lord bless the boys and young, women of our -town., .
