back with pride to what has been
achieved since this one-hundredth

state that I was bom and reared

the late B. F. White and grand-
daughter of the late Col. B. B. Tay-
lor.
In announcing my candidacy for
the office of county treasurer, I
feel I am well qualified for the
office, having been in public work
for a number of years. For three
years I held a position as sales-
lady and bookkeeper with the Lake
Creek Mercantile Co., also the De-
vaney Drug Company. I was as-
sistant postmaster for a period of
three years and was appointed ac-

voter in the county and personally
solicit your support.

In Memory Of
J. A. Richardson
On February 18, 1936, at 8:10
o’clock the death angel visited the
home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Rich-
ardson and claimed for its own a
devoted husband.
J. A. Richardson was bom Feb-
ruary 28, 1893. He was married
to Dovie Blount in October 1915.
He is survived by his wife, four
children, two brothers and a host
of friends and other relatives to
mourn his departure. He waa a
devoted husband, father and bro-
ther. And to know him was to
love him. Everything possible j
was done by medical science and
loving sympathic friends, but God
saw fit to call him up higher that
he might be spared the trouble
that naturally comes to us in this
life.
He bore up bravely and was
ready and prepared to meet his
God and creator. Never more
will his mortal form gladden our
homes but is now with shining an-
gels around the throne of God. It
was hard to give him up but God
knows best.
He has gone and left us,
A voice we love is still,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
He has gone and left us,
In this world of sin and woe.
But if we live up to our duty,
Some day to him we will go.
As we stood beside his casket,
And looked upon his face,
We realized how we loved him.
And no one could take his place.
He has gone to live with Jesus.
His work on earth Is done,
Though his body now Is sleeping,
A life crown he has won.
We loved him, yes, we loved him,
But Jesus loved him more.
So he took him home to heaven.
To that bright and happy shore.
