And be it re membered, we had literally ta ken the city of Raleigh by storm for several days before the hear ing, lobbying for the bill. The committee beard our argu ment, and made its report—un favorable, with one vote in the committee for favorable report. In l909 the people of this sec tion were again in Raleigh clam oring for the establishment of “Hoke County ’ We had one friend in that legislature, Repre sentative John Underwood of Cumberland county. We lived in Raleigh for several •lays, and then came a hearing before a House committee, as Mr. Underwood had introduced a oill in the House this time for the creation of “Hoke County." We had better luck this time, and there were three votes foi a favorable report of the bill, but an unfavorable report was made of course. It was remarkable how we all stuck with such odds against us. We had hardly made any impression at all in Ihe two efforts. One vote in the first committee, and three in the sec ond was not encouraging to say all that could be said for us. We have never known people to make a worse start, and at such enormous expense. It had cost the advocates of the new county thousands of dollars at each ses sion of the legislature. Buc in 1911, with Mr. J W. McLauchlin in the Senate, the people acted like they bad just missed their aim heretofore By a small margm, and felt as if they were sure to win this time.

For several years be bad heart trouble, and an attack of influenza proved fatal, as above stated. Mr. Williford was born in Flea Hill township, Cumberland county 73 years ago. He came over into this seciion of Cumber land when quite a young man and identified himself with the interests of this section. He was very industrious, honest and ca pable, and succeeded in business, and made friends of all his ac* quaintances; He was a man of tireless energy and leaves a large estate. He was thrice married, first to Miss Margaret McRae 'of this immediate section. She died within a year. Be next married Miss Laura Currie who died in 1906. In 1914 he was married to Miss Julia McEachern of Red Springs, who survives him Mr. Williford was a good neighbor. He was unusually kind hearted. He liked to help the needy It is said that some times that he would flatly refuse; even vehemently refuse aid to one seeking help—tell him sorri ness was the trouble with him, and as the fellow would turn away he would recall him and give him the needed help. A neighbor tells of a time when Mr. Williford came tc bis house pistol in band following a dog. He the iifighltor: is l^at Pareat'Tcachm Mutwif. (Communicated.) The Parent-Teacher Associa tion gave a very interesting and instructive program last Monday P. M., the 16tb. Mrs. Walker’s class in Home Economies gave a demonstratioD of their work which was indeed interesting and reflected great credit on their teacher. This class is being taught not only how to prepare a well bal anced meal, but also how to make dresses and hats that are neat and attractive In every way. This part of their education, will doubtless, mean much in the making and keeping of their own homes, and parents should be pleased at the work they are doing in this line. Dr. Fairley made a talk that was enjoyed by every one pres ent While he is not a parent or teacher, be knows what to sayat a Parent Teacher meeting. A quartette by the teachers was also much enjoyed. These meetings each month should mean a great deal to the parents and teachers, in bringing the parent and teacher _tloser together, and promoting a bett^ feeling and understanding. It is to be regretted that so few of the parents take advan tage of this;hour with the prin cipal and teachers and thus keep in touch with the school work and the progress their children are making. The new moving pictnre ma chine i^ a big asset to the school. Go^l^Uitoms axe being duiwn^ A Note of Thanks.

He was very sympathetic. Pity for a hungry^ dog overcame his sense of jus tice often. He always heard the cry of the needy. He was liberal in his beneficence. No one did moie for the Near East Relief, and kindred appeals than he. He was loyal to his chid-ch and for years he was a Deacon in Raeford Presbyterian church, and a member of the^sboard of trustees. He was a charter mem ber of that church. The funeral was conducted from the Presbyterian church Friday afternoon at 3 o’clock by his pastor, Rev. Watson M Fairley, D. D.‘ assisted by Rev F. T. Collins, pastor of the Bap tist church A very large con- course of sorrowing friends at tended tol show their appreci ation of a useful life just ended, among the number a large crowd of colored people, to whom he had often proven very help ful, and always kind. The interment was made in Raeford cemetery, and the grave was converted a into mound of beautiful flowers, placed there by the hands of those who love his memory.

We have always advocated a live at home policy for farmers, and we do believe if all farmers ware to forget all about money and think only of living as well as they possibly can, they would naake lots more money than they now make, because they would offer less for sale, and would get better prices.
