His going has brought sorrow and
sadness in the church and Sunday
School of which he loved and wor
shiped and in the community and
above all, in the home. Words can
not express how we miss his smiling
lace and happy disposition. Nothing
seemed to worry him in the least, he
was cheerful to the last.
We cannot always understand God's
will, but we must bow in submission
to His will ' k "
May this be the path by which
heaven wilhte closer and brighter
All who knew him especially the de
voted wife, mother and children, and
may God give the grief stricken wife
power and guidance to direct and
lead the family left to her care to
that land where they will all be one
united family. Where we have no
more sorows; no more goodbyes. But
all will be pure and happiness forever

Drama that was adopted by other
countries. . . ' .
The discussion of. the dolls home

men jprotraying the selfishness of
man and the unselfishness of woman.

standard for man and -woman was
against, posterity as well as against

Birthday Dinner Given in
Honor of J. C. Gibson
On Sunday January 13, a birthday
dinner was given in honor of J. C.
Gibson at his home on Cowee,
In spite of the inclement weather
his, many friends came from far and
near and the moment they entered
the home they forgot 'the rain "and
mud outside and lost themselves in
the good fellowship and hospitality
of the entire familv.
Along about noon John Dalton was
heard to remark, "I- smell -diicken,"
If one could have taken a peep thru
the keyhole they woul dhave sud
denly thought the place was work
ing alive with chickens.
Soon the dinning room was opened
and the invitation extended. Gazing
upon the table one would have
thought himself wafted into dream
land for it surely was loaded with
good things to eat. The rich and de
licious oder suddenly told that the
magic hand of a culinary expert su
pervised the preparation of the food
The first table consisted of J, C.
Gibson, wife and his brothers, sisters
and a few friends. There was seen
at the second table the bright faces
of his four sons, four son-in-laws and
their friends. While "Carroty was
heard to remark, "Boys wish I had
my wife up to Pa's birthday'. After
eating a piece each of the seven dif
ferent kinds of cake and a large dish
of peaches and whipped cream, Bob
Bryson leaned back in his chair so as
to be more comfortable and exclaim
ed, "I can't see why people are so
foolish to waste their time baking
cakes'.
Next came the turn of the daugh
ters and daughters-in-law, who had
stood faithfully by, seeing that evtry
one got his or her share of the bonti-
ful amount of food, and so on the
meal was served through ..manj
tables.
Dinner being over, all retired to the
living room, for a nice afternoon chat
when right n , the middle of it all
"Uncle Joe' came in with a' large bas
ket ot apples, which of course spoiled
the conversation. It being a custom
for many-years to go to Uncle Joe's
to eat apples, all had to help empty'
tne oasket.
The sixty-nine candles were re
moved ,from the birthday cake, a
large slice was served to everybody
with a guass of grape juice, lamilar-
ily known by aU for its life giving
qualities, 01 wnicn an aranK to tne
health of their beloved brother, father
and best friend.
Thus they all returned to their
homes rejoicing, wishing Uncle Joe
would never die.

DIG SAMPLE LINE HER
Those who have recently come into my store
and have seen my enormous stock of goods have
inquired whether I am going into the wholesale
business. I am not. But I do intend to keep on
hand, even if I go broke in the effort, a large
enough stock of Men's and Women's clothing and
.notions to meet the demands and needs of ANY
ONE as to size and quality.
Everyone knows that a sample line of goods
consists of the best quality and that such a line'
can always be bought for a great deal less money
than the average stock of goods. A day ortwo
ago I received an enormous supply of samples.
In fact $1495:72 worth. These samples consists of
hosiery, sweaters, Underwear, shirts, rain coats,
knit goods, men's pants, ladies' and children's
dresses, boys' suits, towels, neckties, ladies' hand
bags, notions, etc., etc.
This stock just HAS to be sold. Never before
have goods been offered in Franklin for such low
prices. Come in and see for yourself.
