GLOBE Last Tuesday morning, Feb. 17, at 5 o'clock, Mr. Dillard Gragg died at the home of his father, Mr. J. B. Gragg, where he had been for some time, spending his last declining days. Over four years ago while in the west, Mr. Gragg was taken sick with pneumonia, which left him with a very weak heart. Afterwards he contracted tuberculosis, which grad uall ybrought his life to an end. He was very patient during the last days of his illness. Many times he ex pressed that he looked on the bright side and put his trust in God. We have great assurance that he is now in a better world, awaiting the com ing of his loved ones. His remains were laid to rest in the family bury ing ground on the hill back of the Globe Baptist church. He funeral services we& conducted by Mr. F. P. Moore. Mr. Gragg was 34 years of agfe, a member of the Globe Baptist church, anil besides his wife and fa ther he is hurvivcd by four brothers and two sifters, as follows: Messrs. J.

"Dad iburnit." that's so. ain't it. Joet ' Isn't it funny how a chicken or a man never wants to stay at home, .J t. I. . C ... talk, and how long it takes a woman to say goodbye when she starts to leave, and how the fellow who, enjoys getting a joke on the other fellow is so tender when it comes the other way around? Oh, well, as Wesley Hickman says, such is life in small burgs. . .; OAK HILL During the .past week death has come twice to the home of Mr. J. T. Sims. On Friday morning his only daughter, Dessie, was. buried, and on Sunday morning the' youngest son, James, died. Both of these young people were victims of influenza. The onl yother son left in the home and the stepmother are now ill with the disease. The daughter -was a teacher in the Sunday school of Union church. Her quiet Christian life will be missed by all of those who knew her. James had many friends among the boys of the com munity. It is hard, to give up these young people, but we can only yield to the inevitable. As best as is known how the sympathies of the community are expressed for the be reaved family. The flu epidemic has practically gone the round of our whole school district, scarcely a home has es caped, and in a number of instances every member of the family is sick. Our school is having to be called off for the third week, but it is expeoted that we shall be able to open by the first day of March if the epidemic doesn't take a fresh start. A number of our students and pa trons were interested a few days to get copies of the Hickory Log, a pub lication of the Hickory high school, which is edited by Ralph C. Flowers, who was a student of Oak Hill until this year. Those of us who know Ralph's art with the pen are not at all surprised at this splendid publica tion. The contributors are all to be congratulated. This is a work that eevry high school should encourage. The encouragement it gives to ex pression is not surpassed in any other way. VALMEAD Died of pneumonia Feb. 20 at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. Sylvester St. John, Mrs. Haley Phelps, in her 76th year. She was buried Sunday at the Clark burying ground, the fu neral services being conducted by Rev. A. A. McLean. Died, Feb. 23, of influenza, Mrs. Carrie Lou Setzer, the wife of Mr. Emanuel Setzer.

Master James Watts is spending some time at Stony Point with his vrrandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Miller. Rev. J. W. Watts is off on a busi ness trip to Ire.dell county this week. Rev. F. C.

Mrs. Laura Bolick has gone up to Bailey's Camp to be with her daugh ter Mrs Hollar, who is right sick. Mrs. Willie Bradshaw has gone to nurse her mother, Mrs. Fannie Trip lett, who is sick on Buffalo Cove. There is but very little sickness in this community. BOONE Miss Todd, the lady principal at Lovill Home, was called Monday to the sick bed of her nephew, who is in a hospital in Birmingham, Ala. The influenza situation ' in the school is very much improved at this time. Most of those who were sick are well and the others are much bet ter. It is hoped by the skillful man agement of the -nurse and the physi cian that all will soon be well. The situation is also being well looked after in the town and feW cases are reported. This wet weather shows that some work is badly needed on the campus if we are to keep out of the mud, preserve the grass and shrubbery from being injured and keep the buildings in neat condition. Some new students have been add ed for the closing term and others are desiring to enter because Bome other schools have closed for the rest of the year. Several of the students who had been boarding out in town moved to the campus as soon as the school was quarantined so that they might con tinue in school. CARD OF THANKS v We desire to thank most sincerely our kind friends and neighbors for their sympathy and almost unbound ed kindness and help - to us in the sickness, death and burial ; of our wives. Surely no one ever had bet ter neighbors than we." We desire to make special mention of Mrs. Callie Prestwood, Mrs. Fannie t Simmons, Mrs. Ada ' Winkler and Mrs. ' Sallie Bradford.

H 1 u u u Works the Year Around Winter or bad weather does not hinder the Fordson usefulness. There is always some job draw-bar or belt that the Fordson will do more quickly, more economically, than you can do it in any other way. Plowing, harrowing, drilling, cultivating, pulling your binder oper ating your grain separator these are the big jobs the Fordson will do for you. But there are hundreds of other jobs that it is capable, of handling and that will keep it busy throughout every season, continually increas ing its profit to you. It will haul your manure spreader, take produce to market, operate your ensilage cutter, your hay baler, your silo filler, your pump, your saw help build roads; in fact, supply the draw-bar or belt power for every job you and your neighbors have to do. It's doing this right now for over 75,000 Fordson owners. SMALL COST-AJ&PLE POWER Economical Operation Long Life These are the three big essentials of a successful tractor that Mr. Ford built into the Fordson: The best materials and protective con struction of all operating parts,- so that long life is sure; power to handle two 14-inch bottoms in any soil capable of being plowed, of operating a good-size grain separator, and still enough left over for the "pinches."
