Fine Cattle For Harwell County
West Raleigh, N. C., Nov. Cth.—
In buying twenty-seven head of rcg
iaterod Jersey cattle, the Coat* Jer
sey Cattle Breeders' Association, com
posed of men, boya and girls, has
made a leading step in improving the
live-stock industry uf the section
about Coats. The undertaking waa
made possible by the action of Mr.
Patterson, cashier of Uto Bank of
Coats, who financed the proposition,
and the interest of Prof Owen Odom,
principal of the Coats Public Cchool,
who devoted considerable time to
stimulating the proposition among the
patrons of hia school.
The cattle were selected in Ohio by
Mr. R. H. Mason, of th* Dairy Field
Office, accomponiod by Professor
Odum. All of the stock purchasers
ars members of tho Cow Testing As
sociation.who keep milk and botterfal
records as well aa th* cost of produc
ing same.
This is the first shipment of regis
tered Jersey cattle for Harnett Coun
ty, and the interest which It hat
stimulated has caused many fanner*
to put In purchase orders for a second
carload at aa early date. The cattle
were bought on the individual records
of their ancestors, rather than on
any fine points. They are the foun

He is iron*! Hla familiar figure

at his church shall know bin no more;
there is a vacant chair by the family
hearth, and a good friend baa gone
from the lives of ua all.
TWrv are many who art left ta
grieve for him, for his friends were
legion, but ons who knew him and
loved him would lay these few words
of appreciation upon the tablet to hie
momory.
It has been marly a quarter of a
century ago since we first clasped hla
^tcong hand and gasod into bn boy
i'h face. Then we watched him as
hr grew into sturdy manhood, and
we saw him develop those traits of
character which make and hold
friends. A native of Johnston Coun
ty, he came to Dura about the year
1893. His history since then has boon
the history of Dunn; for ho has been
identified with everything good in the
town since then.
Though constantly occupied with
the laborious work of editing and
managing a newspaper, he yet found
time to assist la the directing sf sev
eral commercial enterprises. He gave
hia lime to his town, and for pears
ho held several office* under the
municipality. And amid all these
earoe, hia church and Sunday school
were never neglected, but with pains
taking care, he has successfully filled
nearly every office within their gift.
But all these things belong U> the
outer man. This is what the world
sees; this is his reputation. How of
tho reel man. his inner Ufa. hie eharac
ter? In years gone by, when ho wo*
himself a poor man, and before he
had made his position in the world, I
have seen him feed the hungry, and
I have known him to rlotbe th* poor.
For ye*r» ho was the principal sup
port of an aged father and mother,
and ho ever spoke with i«v of ihi.

moved her staff; the poor and the un
fortunate have horn tht pensioner*
of bis eouaty; and the fatherless and
tha orphan hav* aaUn his brand and
hae* blessed him for it.
"And then the King shall answer
and say unto them, “Inacmucn as ye
hsvs dona it anto one of the least of
these ray brethren, ye have done it
unto Mo."
A yoar ago, Ms robust health began
to fail, and though he continued at
his work, he was not well. And then
when tha Anal illness came, a few
days sines, there seemed no relief.
Cat down in his prime, he fell as fall*
