Death of Rev. J. W. Siler.

Rev. Jesse w. Siler, pastor of the
Presbyterian church in Silver City, N.
NJ, and native of Franklin, this
State, died there early last week of
tuberculosis, from which he had been
almost lifelong sufferer, this fact
having changed his life plans. He
was born February 9, 1868, and was al
most so years of age. He was gradu-
ated from Davidson College in 1885 as
valedictorian of his class, having won
four gold medals. In 1888 he was
graduated from Union Theological
Seminary at Hampden- Sidney, Va, pre-
pairing for foreign missionary work.
He was rejected by the board as the

WHY YOU SHOULD OWN
A SUMMER HOME

This question is possibly asked by
many of those who sojourn in the
mountains for short vacation. The
answer is very short and can be told
by any of those who live here or have
lived here in the past. If you have a
family and want to remain here sew
eral months it pays to own home
and still feel the touch of home life
in this beautiful country. If you in
tend remaining here any length of
time and desire to entertain friends
and relatives it is economical in more
ways than one to own your home.
Real estate values are on the in
crease and have been for long num-
