tarl L. Sheets In loving memory of Moody Orndoff Sheets, born A aril 13,1921 Departed this life March 9, 1924, on Sunday morning oh, how sad and lonely he left us Without his smiling' little face and sweet words of such great joy and comfort But the memory will still grow sweeter and brighter for God only give us this little sunbeam a btessing that nothing but Heaven could send to make home more happier and brighter But a dear little life as his was to stay with us short time, but now has gone to make Heaven brighter, where he is safe in the arms of Jesus, frse from all sorrow and pain He will never call us again to sit by his chair or tell mother to dress his little head to relieve his suffering through which he was so patient for eleven weeks He would tell us how he would go to church when his head got better Oh! how sad it seems to us that we no more in our home in this world can hear his voice sing and then see him get down on his little knees and pray which he had done so long But then the glorious thought that bring Heaven so near to our aching hearts is that little Moody's smiling face is seen In Heaven today and his voice still sweeter than it was here And now Moody is calling us who he loved so much to come and stay with him ana by God's Grace we are going to see him again where we will never have to leave no more It won't be long.

W00DR0W WILSON WoodrOw Wilson, the g r e a t , President, passed away Sunday morning, February 3, 1924, between eleven and twelve o'clock. The time of his departure was at hand. He had fought a good tight He had finished his course lie had kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for him a crown of righteousness. He was a man who had known the greatness of powjr and place, but his life was one of service to his country, and he bore a stainless reputation. Never a man of strong physical powers, he lived a busy and useful life, and was given strength to round and complete one of the most notable careers, ever given a mortal to pursue. Washington, Lincoln, and Wilson are outstanding names in the bright history of the American Republc. At this time it is fit and proper that our thoughts turn to the re ligious side of Woodrow Wilson's life. He was a man of profound faith. He believed in God. He believed in Jesus Christ. His life is a beautiful commentary on the words: This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. I t is easy to trace in the life of this great man a steady growth in faith. This grace in him increased steadily in strength with the passing years, until it seemed that his public utterance came to have the confidence and the fire of the ancient Hebrew prophets. , "Howsleep the brave, who sink to rest By all their country s wishes blest! When spring, with dewy fingers cold, Returns to deck their hallowed mould, She there shall dress a sweeter sod Than fancy's feet have ever trod. "By fairy hands their knell is rung, By forms unseen their dirge is sung: i There Honour comes, a pilgrim grey, To bless the turf thafc wraps their clay; And Freedom'shall awhile repair, 'To dwell a weeping hermit there."

In loving memory of our dear grandvou, Richard Coe Callison, who depart*d thi» life May 19, 1946:

Three sad and lonely years have passed, Since our great sorrow fell. The shock we received that day We still remember well. The blow was hard, the shock severe, We never thought your death so near And only those who have lost can tell The pain of parting without farewell. Gone is the face we loved so dear, Silent is his voice we loved to hear, 'Tis sad but true, we wonder why That on May 19th he had to die. Sleep on, dear Richard, We miss you more each day. God wanted you for a bud to bloom In the Master's bouquet*

l a Memoriam In loving memory of our dear mother, Mrs. Miranda Jane Dilley, who passed away one year ago to day, July 13, !1956. Mother, we think of you to day and how we miss you, We mourn for her in silence, No eyes can see us weep: But many a silent tear is shed While others are asleep, Somewhere above this troubled world, Safe beyond all grief and care, Our m>ther rests in heivanly pjace, God grant some day we meet her there, She went away without farewell, She said good-by to none; Her loving heart had caased to beat. Before we knew she had gone. She did not fail to do her best, Her heart was true and tender, She worked hard for those she left. For all her loving kindness she asked nothing in return. Tis sweet to remember our mother so dear; Though absent from us, yet ever so near, Unseen by the world, she stands by our side, And whispers, dear daughters, death cannot divide. Mrs. Chi ire East. Mrs. Elizabeth Schumaker,

OBITUARY, W. C. Mann, who met an ap: palling death by a falling stone, j near Fairview Church November •2:!. was born in Alleghany County, ! Virginia, December 26, 1M45. H e ! entered the holy union with Miss Phoebia McAllister in the a u t u m n of 18f)."i. They were playmates, which enabled them to be thoroughly acquainted with each other's disposition. After marrlaga they lived on J a c k s o n ' s Kiver in B a t h County, Va., from whence they removed to the old homestead, north-east of E d r a y . At the tender age of seventeea Mr Mf.un entered the Confederate service of the Civil W a r . With this part of of his life are connected many thrilling scenes which mark the.career of a true soldier. All that is past and another vet[eran has sunk to t h a t sleep over which the S o u t h e r n willows mourn and the Northern roses weep. H e was a member of the M. E . Church South, atid possessed that tientie spirit which makes a good husband, loving father, and a generous neighbor whn is worthy of the admiration of his fellow men. Since no encomium can minister to the dead, let tender memories embalm his virtues, a richer tribute than statue or elegy can pay. T h o u g h his body rests be! neath the sud. his soul is walking 1 the streets of paradise; for as the aqueous vapors of some gentle river are lifted into the skies by the morning sun, the Christian ;soul is raised by the soft hands of angels into the glorious s u n l i g h t of God. So great are Cod's promises that, doubtless, the tears we shed are borne by invisible hands to the sinless land where they are converted i n t o showers of blessings. T h e n bleeding heart be consoled by Christ's victories of doath, in which our beloved live. A Fun-NT>.

Altha McGuire Kills Self With 32-20 Gun On Elk Mountain FrL Altha McGuire, 2 1 , Of Elk Mountain Fires Snot Into Head and Kills Self Last Friday—Bondy Was Discovered Shortly After Three O'Clock.

On last Friday afternoon^ the body of Altha McGuire, aged 21, was. found lying in the Moore orchard on. the farm of his father, C. G. McGaix* ! on Klk Mountain, with a gun shot | wound in his head from the muzzle [of a 3-1-20 rifle.. In a note left by young McGuire, he stated that he had planned his fate for a long time, although he bad never mentioned it to anyone. His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. C. (j. McGuire* left early Friday morning for Clifton Forge, Va., where Mr. j McGuire was to receive treatment I at a hospital there. Before they left the house it is said that they told Altha to take care of everything: aground the farm, and Henry Nelson, who for the past year has been working for Mr- McGuire, asked young McGuire- to feed the cows while he called on a neighbor, and when b e returned they would round up tbe sheep. When Nelson returned, McGuire was not to be-found anywhere^ but upon investigation, it was dascovered that there had been a note left at the house. Not being able t o read, Nelson summoned his son, who •••ad the note containing directions as to where the body would be found. It is said that McGuire left his home shortly after his mother and I'M the i- had started for Clifton Forge, and climbed to the top of the mountain about three-fourths of a mile ' from the state highway and discharged the rifle into his right temple just above the ear, the shot coming out on the left side of the head. There was no motive for the act that- could be found, but in a conversation with some of the friends of young McGuire it was stated that \ on several occasions he had made j statements about the death of one of his •friends, Henry Shearer, who last winter was found dead not far from ' •<• home of McGuire, and it thought that possibly this might have been the beginning of his plans for the fateful event.

2&J -3*^tN MEMORIAMd^cA^/u In memory of my mother, Mrs, J. F. Rock, who passed away on Juue 1st, 1944. 1882—1944 There's a vacant place at home to day Because of one who has gone away And loft us dazed with the mystery Of the life that is and the life to be; Left us missing the willing hand. That lias vtnished into an mi known land. Missing a heart that loved us true Whether our mood was bright or blue, But shall we say we have lost her? No. Her days were spent; she was glad to go. Glad to meet friends who have traveled there, And I'm sure if she could come, Back from the shades of the Great Unknown, She would say "you must not worry so It's not I, but death that is dead, you know." And so our hearts'take hope and cheer F r o i i the fact that she was helpful here, Tnat fairly and squarely she played life's game, Anp the worid is better because she came. Mrs. J. Clifford Hill.

In loving memory of our dear father and husband, Roy D. Snyder, who departed this life July 12, 1966. Just one year ago you left us, For a better place to rest, But you are not forgotten, By those who loved you best. Deep in my heart lies a picture More precious than silver or gold, It's a picture of my husband and our dad Whose memories will never grow old. A beautiful life, That came to an end He died as he lived, Everyone's friend. Days of sadness will come o'er us, Friends may think the wound is healed But little they know the sorrow, That lies within the heart concealed. We often sit and think of you And speak of how you died To think you could not say good-bye Before you closed your eyes. You are gone, but not forgotten, Never shall your memory fade, Loving thoughts will always linger Round the grave where you were laid. Sadly missed by wife and children.

And could not give relief. Her weary hours and days of pain, Her troubled nights are passed; And in our aching hearts we know She has found sweet rest at last. Tis sweet to know we will meet again, Where parting is no more, And our dear Aunt we loved so well Has only gone before. God knows how much we miss her, He counts the tears we shed, ' And whispers, "Hush, she only sleeps, Your Aunt is not dead!" Some day, some time, our eyes shall see The face we loved so well, J Some day, some time, her hand we'll clasp, And never say farewell. Sadly missed by her Nieces and Nephew

In M e m o r i a m The following poem was selectby Don McKenney, in memory of his father, S. W. McKenney, who departed this life on Tuesday, May 3, 1949: ONLY A DAD O n l y * dad, with a tired face Coming home from the daily race Bringing little of gold or fame. To show how well he has played j the game, But glad in his heart when his own rejoice To see him come and to hear his voice. Only a dad of a brood at the door One of ten million men, or more. Plodding along in the daily strife Bearing the Whips and scorn of! life With never a whimper of pain • or hate For the sake of those who at home do wait. Only a dad, neither rich nor proud Merely one of the surging crowd, Toiling, striving, from day to day Facing whatever may come his way, Silent whenever the harsh condemn, And bearing it all for the love of them. Only a dad, but he gives his all, To smooth the way for his children small, Doing with courage, stern and grim. The deeds that his father did for him; This is the line that I pen for him Only a dad, but the best of men. TcTeM. Hannah Icie M. Hannah, 81, of 211 N.
