ATTORNEY Wrfl. SHERRILL HONORED RY
LOCAL RAR AT A BIRTHDAY DINNER
A very happy birthday was c?l-i
ebrated at a dinner on Wednesday
evening. April 21st. given by mem
bers 01 the Jackson County Bar at
the J arret t Springs h>tel in com
memoration of W. R. Sherrill, the
dean of the bar. upon reaching his
seventy-fi fth birthday.
All present enjoyed the splen
d.ci repast o: chicken. fried coun-j
try ham, ard all otin r foods and!
delicacies for which this hotel is]
noted.
Hugh E. Monteith. secretary of
the local bar. was master of cer-|
emonies, and after the repast thej
evening turned into one of joy and!
praise for the outstanding qualities
of tnis veteran of the bar who has
been practising in Jackson county1
for the pa.-t 38 years, having
obtained his license in 1910. j
On behalf of the local bar E. P.i
Stillwell brought a message of
praise in which he pointed with
pride to the outstand.ng qualities
and characteristics of this attor- j
ney, who, during all his long years
of practice, has always proved
himself zealous for the rights of
his clients, and has likewise shown
and at all times >;rived to hold!
the ethics of the legal profession J
above reproach.
On behalf of the Judiciary, Hon
orable Dan K. Moore, resident
judge of the Twentieth Judicial^
District, took pride in telling the
gathering of friends of his pleasant
associations with this Attorney
during the past years, and how
at all times he had found him as
a member of the bar striving to
carry on his work in such a way
as to reflect credit upon the pro
fession to which he belongs.
Following the^e tributes, and on
behalf of the local bar, C. C. Buch-'
anan then presented to Mr. Sherill
an autographed Bible Signed by
all members of the Jackson Coun
ty Bar.
One of the honnrrd .suests of the
evening was Prof. R. L. Madison,
President Emeritus of Western
North Carolina Teachers College.'
who, in a reminiscent way, de-|
scribed in detail his very close and]
intimate acquaintance which he has
been privileged to have with mr.
S.ierriil since the early "Nineties",
he being the first teacher to whom
'.11> man went when he first de
cided to get an education, although
he was then 26 years of age. By a
dogmatic determination unequaled
by any other student whom it had
ever been Prof. Madison's privil-j
ego to know, he descr.i-ed how he.
overcame all difficulties in master-1
ing his subjects, culminating in|
his entry to Wake For.st Lawj
School preparatory to obtaining,
n.s license. No other man, be it
truthfully said, ever did more to
ward shaping the life and destiny
of Mr. Snerrill, than Prof. Madi- ?
son did in those early days.
L. st but not least, the honored |
guest of the evening wiped time!
aside, turned back the years, and I
in response to the occasion, let it
be known how much he appreciat
ed the many words of tribute which
had been spoken about him, but
likewise the friends and listeners
who were gathered around the
table more firmly than ever knew
that the many eulegies which had
been p:.id this Dean of the Bar,j
were not spoken in vain. i
? i
Among those present for the oc- I
casion were Mr. and Mrs. W. R.j
Sherrill, Miss Evelyn Sherrill, Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Sherrill, Mr. and '
Mus. Sam Roane, Judge and Mrs.
Dan K. Moore, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh
E. Monteith, Mr. and Mrs. E. PJ
Stillwell, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Buch
anan. David Stillwell, A. A. Rice,
Prof. R. L. Madison, and two of Mr.
Sherrill's grandsons, Frank Craw
ford, Jr. and Bill Crawford.
