Some of the county treasurers
OF the state doubtless collect much
larger sums in taxes than does the
treasurer of Edgefeld county, but
we challenge any of them to show
"a better record than the latter has
made this year. Of the $4,000
charged up to Treasurer Williams
only $157 remain uncollected. So
skillful is he in collecting, even
IN extracting blood from turnips.
that it would be wise for him TO
establish collection agency. The
banks, doctors. merchants and,
last but not least (hot least in
number of delinquents) the news
paper men would be liberal patrons
of Collector Williams.

MR.. WILLIAM E. DOBEY,
For Sixty-Three Years Sub
scriber to the ADVERTISER.

The old land marks, the lives
that are connecting links between
the dead past of the long ago and
the present, are rapidly disappear
ing. The last of these to be re-
moved from our midst was Mr..
w. E. Dobey who departed this
life at the home of his daughter,
Miss Lizzie Dobey, on the after
noon Of May the 5th. Although
the SHOWS of many winters had
whitened his locks and the weight
of four score and four years had
bowed his form, be was unusually
active in mind and body till his
health began to fail about two
years ago.
He had reached mans allot-
ment-three score and ten years.
before he moved to Edgefeld vii
lage, consequently he was not
! known by the people of his adopt
ed home, being physically unable
to mingle freely with them. as we'll
as he was by those of the Sweet
water and Roper's sections, among
whom he had spent the most ac-
tive years of his life. Rev. J. P.
Mealing, life-long friend and for
many years neighbor, paid a
very feeling and lowing tsiblattassu.ta
= ther cTose
l;neighbor and warm friend repre-
senting q younger generation, also
gave utterance to some very kind
and beautiful remarks upon the
life of Mr.. Dobey, whom he had
known intimately for many years.
The deceased was a man of de-
clded convictions, and though
firm and resolute in character was
thoughtful, kind and tender heart
ed. He was a friend to the friend
less and ever ready to sympathize
with and aid those in distress.
Mr.. Dobey was esteemed not
only in his Immediate community
but throughout the county, being
elected County Commissioner in
the eighties by large majority.
Ete was no less good soldier than
a good citizen, His comrades testi-
fly to his excellent service upon
the battle fields of the late war.
The deceased is survived by an
affectionate daughter, Miss Lizzie
Dobey, and two devoted sons,
Messrs. II. w. and w. T. Dobey.
The mortal remains were laid
to rest in the Sweetwater cemetery
on Friday afternoon beside the
graves of a devoted wife and two
daughters, Rev. G. E. Burts, pas
tor of the deceased, conducting the
funeral.
Among Mr.. Dobey's last audible
words were these: 81 am going
home"
