FACTS FROM FAIR PLAY.
Tribute to S. II. StIibling%-C0nstah
Harbin Still Needed.

Fair Play, Jan. ID delayed. y
Special: On last Friday morning Mt
o'clock the spirit of Samuel Petit
grew Stribling took It's flight to
realms above, he having been iii for
a week with pneumonia. All that
loving hands could do was done to
check the dreaded disease, but God
in His all-wise providence so destined
his removal from earth to that bet
ter land, from whence no traveller re-
turneth. While we deeply deplore
the death Of one who had ever heen
to us the personification of all that
was noble, good and true in this life,
we thank God that we were permit
ted to live In his day and sit under
the sound Of his voice; and we are
assured that his sincere, honest,
truthful, simple loyalty in every
sphere Of life will bear much fruit I'm
the useful lives of those with whom
he came in contact.
In the death Of Samuel Pettigrew
Stribling we have lost one OF our
most faithful workers in every cause
pertaining to the welfare of q COM
munity. He was an ever-ready
counsellor and adviser in his family
and community. and his extraordi-
nary superior Judgment was always
relied upon--a friend to the poor and
needy, benefactor Of the truest
type. The Presbyterian church at
this place has lost one Of its most
hearty supporters, and this beautiful
building stands as monument to
his generosity. Surely God had n
purpose in taking so useful a life. one
whose influence was felt far and
wide. One of the finest educators In
the State has said, "1t was Mr.. Strib-
ling who first inspired me to do some-
thing for myself" His worth as a
teacher in the various schools OF the
county will leave an impress upon all
who realized the Importance of an
education, and to him the writer
Is INDEBTED for his assistance I'm many
ways, both as pupil and teacher
IL Is not our purpose to question
the divinity of an All-wise Provi-
dence; hence it behooves lis to be
submissive to His will, remembering
that "He doeth all things we'll" TO
the bereaved one we offer this conso-
lation, and may Gods grace be suffi-
cient for them.
