THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1323. THE FRANKLIN PRESS, FRANKLIN, tl C. page i;::::: I.1ANN APPEALS FOR GOOD COMMUNITY Dear Editor and readers of The Franklin Press : First I love to read The Press and enjoy some of the letters and I am always ready to boost our community, county and state in which I live, and try to make it better by me living in it and if the community is not what it ought to . be I go a head ' and begin to try to improve matters. I think that some of the letters written, to The Press and published were on the extreme as to the bootleggers and boyj being drunk. : Now, 1 am not going to say that there is not any ' bootleggers on Skeenah, but no one ever has sold wic any liquor: and to the Sunday, , school and preaching, I 'attended a protracted meeting at the Baptist church a. few weeks back arid I never saw a man or boy that seeemed lo bp tinder ithc influence : of liquor, and I was around where the boys were and most every one helped in He Singing. I smeUcd the odor of whiskey .on a few certain: ones oh the first Sunday night' -and there was the best of order all Muring the meeting. Now w have some as good people on Skeenah as there is in the county and some as good moral -boys and girls as any where. So as to the best people going before the courts and clearing a person or ' giving him a good name, please some one .tell me when there was a warrant wrote for any one on Skeenah, except the one which left and never was arrested. So come on good people and let's make this as good or better com munity as there is in the state, and when there switches a car ot liquor .off this way just let " me know - and I can let the sheriff know quick," and stop it. So I - say stop it if possible, but first let's cast the beam out of oar own eyes and ask ourselves this question: What kind of a community would this community be if every body in it was just like me? Yours for a better county and com munity. ) and trying to make better young men out of our boys. , With best of wishes, J. H. MANN, Sanders' 'Anniversary Sale Mr. Jack Sanders who has been in business here for one year and who . has made many friends in Franklin and the county is celebrat- MMty ill J J L7 fcJfcWJ - fiHttinc on, an anniversary sale, the Mrs. J. C. Gibson Editor Franklin Press: Although the subject of this sketch passed from time to eternity a little over a month ago, we can scarcely realize that her genial presence is with us no more ; we have been so accustomed to her friendly greeting her cheerful and sunny smile, and her words of comfort and good cheer. 'r But when we take time to reflect and realize that she is with us no more on his earth; that her place around the hearthstone is vacant; that the voice that rang so clear in friendly greeting from day to day, in words of comfort, kindly, advice, and helpful counsel in bridging over life's trials, is silent; it is then that life's darkest shadow its bitterest gloom settles down upon our lives ; and we realize our-great loss. Alva Alien Gibson, daughter of the late D. HV Allen an Emily A. Allen of sacred memory, was born February 3rd, 1858. . She wa , a '.profession of religion ; in early youth ' ;and united 'herself with the Methodist Church at Snow Hill in 1877 in which she lived an ex emplary member- till the day pf her death, which occurred January 28th, 1928-making her stay upon Jhe earth three-score and . ten years lacking just a few days. She was married to Joseph C. Gib son February 19th, 1878, and 'to this happy union was born nine children 4 boys and 5 girls. They raised all these children to manhood and womanhood; and they also raised one orphan boy, Frank Grant, along with the family-in fact she was a mother to those who needed amother7"whether "tf " "herimmediate family or not. Thus for more than fifty years she went in and out before us in the community, in the church, and in the home, as only a high-toned christian lady and mother of deep piety can do, cheering the despondent, helping those who needed help, exhibiting those traits of christian character that endeared her to all who knew her. She was buried at the Snow Hill Church on Sunday, Jaunary 29, 1928, in the presence of a large and sorrow ing congregation. Rev. J. H. Strick land arid W.L. Bradly conducting the funeral exercises. She is gone from this earth, but her influence will continue to live among us. She is survived in the order of their Sam. Gibson, Mrs. F. I. Murray and Carroll Gibson. John Franklin Grant the orphan boy brought up with the family lives in Tennessee. Besides the above named she leaves one brother, W. S. Allen, and two sisters, Mrs. T. W. Jenkins and Mrs. John Mallonee, 34 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren, and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her departure. A Sincere Friend, W. J. JENKINS. Replies to Angel " Franklin, N. C, Rfd. 2, March 12, 1928. Editor Franklin Press. Pear Sir: Will you please give me space in your valuable paper to reply to the letter written in last: week's issue of The Press by Mr. Sam Angel. Well, he seems ' to be taking a shot at most everybody, especially the way things are going in our community. He says there is a reason why we are neglected, but he-is unable to find the : reason ,why. , It is no trouble, to find the reason why. . It is just simply this, because our community is known. pretty well, as a community of chronic kickers. When anyone Would suggest making new roads the kicking machine would be immediately started, and of course everything would be kicked to pieces. This being the case, the county com missioners, . and all. road authorities concerned would become disheartened and there could be nothing done. Some would want the road built around by all the houses, and by the heads of all the branches, making the publics travel an unreasonable distance out of the way. Others wouldwant noroad at -altwithout first, you buying their farms, or in other words, giving them damage enough to pay them for their farms. So that is where we are standing. He states that a body of men tried to meet the road board in the early part of this winter for the purpose of getting a road made through this section! This was long , after a pe tition had been carried to the road board and they had already surveyed and started work on the road that will soon be completed. So if Mr. Angel and his body of men had, been successful in getting this road changed up to the foot of the mountain that would have taken it far away from most of the heaviest tax payers, and they would have been forced to travel one mile in the oppo site direction before they could get started anywhere. So this being the case, it was decided best to make the road at the nresent place, and as our section is too wide for one road to accommodate all, make another road throucrh the utmer section later nn r.r as soon as this one is completed and that will give a good opening for another opening for a mail route as there is a section on the opposite side of the river that hasn't a mail route. It would be easy to go up that side arnd cross the river at the Prentiss bridge, go through the upper section of our community and on up Sugarfork river. Now Mr. Angel, we are neighbors and friends ; you are a good citizen : consider all these advantages. Let's not eet tanded un with some kirkpr and all pull together and get another road and mail route. With bpst wth tn Th Prpec onA all its readers, respectfully, E." W. HOWELL.
