A TRIBUTE TO
JOHNjraiCOX
Endorsed By Friend Who Has
Known Him Since
Childhood
The Vass Pilot,
Vass, N. C.
Dear Editor:
May I say through your columns that
I have known John Willcox since he
was a child. He is a son of Captain
George Willcox who lived near me.
John Willcox was educated at the Un
iversity of North Carolina. Although
he was equipped to enter any profes
sion, he loved the farm. He is an
extensive farmer, and has one of the
finest farms in Moore County, locat
ed in the Horseshoe near the place of
his birth. It is the old Col. Alstin
place of Revolutionary fame, and the
home bears the marks of that war.
John and others farmers of his mould
furnished the sinews (bread and
meat) that won the World War.
John Willcox is honest, broad
minded, just, and a gentleman of the
finest type. Both by natural endow
ment and education he is eminently
fitted for the office of Clerk of the
Superior Court.
Yours very truly,
A. J. JONES.
June 17, 1926.
HAVING ENGAGED in other
business requiring my entire
time, I will not be in position
to supply Tobacco Flues this
