'J'c-JjTH - 1'■— Former Cherokee Citizen Dies in Mo. _ I A Related Article On The Life and Death of John Marshall' Cobb Relatives and friend of John Mar shall Cobb were grieved to learn ot his death August 11, 1926. Mr. Cobb j was for twentyeight years a resident j of Clever, Christian County, Missouri. He was born in Cherokee County, North Carolina, August 25, 1867. He was/a member of'a family of six chil dren of whom three are still living. Mrs. Nora C. White of Bellview being the youngest. Mr. Cobb leaves three children, a daughter and two sons, all of whom are located in Durango, Colorado. Born and reared in the Blue Ridge Mountains he found opportunities for education and advancement very mea ger. However, by ardent effort and endeavor he completed high school and two years of college. The most pleasant and beneficial part of his school career was spent at Hiawassee, Georgia, where he was a pupil and friend of George W. Truitt, now one of the most prominenti'Baptist Min isters in America. There he excelled in oratory, debate and scholarship. Armed with the high ideals gained in his school career, though still a lad of twenty, he- returned to his home community and began the Herculean task of establishing an educational in stitution for his people. At Bellevue North Carolina, he engineered the construction of a high school and put i it into operation. It was the first in that section of Georgia and North Carolina. More than three hundred : young men and women, or rather men and women, were erollea. iso near were the people and bo great were their needs that Mr. Cobb, always eager to %id someone along the path way1 of life gave a large portion of his salary for the purchase of books and supplies. Economically, this prov ed unwise for poverty prevented pay ment of the debt, but, surely, he was repaid in the reward for service. •» When twenty-one he was , elected to the state legislature of North Car olina where he served for two years. A few years later he removed to Christian County, Missouri. He came to Missouri with little money and a family, but with burning • ambition and-unrelenting determination.'. Here he spent t t the best part of his life. He for Wenty years in. the rural eh schools of the county, fie il Clay Hardware Leases Hayesville Motor Co. j - ! Mr. Clarence Davis has leased the Hayesville Motor Caropany to Clay Hardware. Mr. J. A. Penland as manager and Mr. Clyde Curtis re pairman. They will carry a complete line of" Auto accessories and do all kinds of repair work. communities of the state ascribe their ! success to the influence of his leader- j ship. Sincere and unselfish in his! desire to serve, he spared neither time \ nor effort in his work. j From youth, Mr. Cobb was a mem ber of the Baptist Church. The establishment, growth and develop ment of the first Baptist Church of Clever, Mo., is an eternal monument to his memory. There he labored constantly. His influence was notice able especially among the young men to whom he was attracted and with whom he loved to work. His Sunday School Class of fifty stands as evi dence of his interest and loyalty. Sev eral of these young men are now suc cessful ministers. Certainly great oaks of power grow from small acorns of influence. True to the principles of his relig ion and ideals of life he left a record unblemished and untarnished by the shadow of dishonesty. In teaching, in business, and in politics he was sincere, upright, and honest. He blazed a righteous way through the maze of life for those of us who fol low. We will do well indeed if we follow it consistently. Mr. Cobb’s fortitude. For with poor health successfully. Afflictio follow affliction yet his labors did no* cease. He loved to live and work though hampered by ill health. The loss of his wife a-year and a half ago was a great blow to him. She was Miss Hood, a native of Cherokee Co., N. C„ a woman of Sterling qualities, always faithful and ready to support his ideals. ' Burning ambition was the outstand ing feature of his character. At fifty eight, when most men are thinking of retiring, he returned to college to complete a few months .work for his Bachelor of Arts Degree. One Career VMS ended, another began, when Di vine Providence decreed that his la bors should end. The decree of the Master Of the Universe is greater than the ambition of men.

Sellers, miller at Hayesville. This crop was made up as follows: Wheat 39,726, Rye 13,927 and oats 2,175 bushels. These are actual figures and not merely an estimate. All of the op erators of threshing machines in the county furnished Mr. Sellers the num. ber of bushel^ of each kind of grain threshed by them and his tabulation from this report shows the crop as above. This is not a fair record of the oats grown as many oats were cut for hay and were not threshed. LIME PAYS WAY ON CAROLINA FARM Baleigh, N. C., Oct. 6.—Lime us ually is expected to pay its way when used with clovers in North Carolina but for the material to pay for it self before the clovers get a chance to benefit is unusual. This has hap pened on the farm of William Trexlar of Linwood in Davidson County. But let E. C. Blair, extension agro nomist at State College tell the story: “Mr. Trexlar applied the limestone to his soybeans this past spring not so much for the benefit of the soy beans but to prepare the land for red clover to be sown on wheat next March. The soil is a typical dark red Davidson clay, which is not us ually very acid. One ton of lime stone per acre was used with a part of the field left unlimed. The whole field was fertilized with 300 pounds per acre of a 9-3-3 fertilizer and Mammoth Yellow soybeans were drill ed in at the rate of six pecks per acre in May.^ “The soybeans were cut for hay on September’ 15 and after being cured, the hay was weighed, on September 21. That part of the field which re ceived no lime produced 2,880 pounds of hay per acre while that part which had been limed produced 4,816 pounds per acre. This is an increase of 936 pounds per acre. Figuring legume hay at $25 per ‘ ton, the in crease in production due to the lime is worth $11.60. The lime cost $5.6b per ton delivered at Linwood, while the 'cost of hailing and spreading would bring the amount to about $8 CLAY SUPERIOR COURT IN SESSION Clay County Superior Court con vened Monday, October the 4th, wtth Judge J.
