puddings and mince pies that the
older ones enjoy should not be given
to them. So often a simpler dessert
which they may eat without dis

brown sugar one cupful of finely

w l.. Lay.

In the untimely death of R. L. Day
Somerville and Fayette county lose one
Of their best and most useful citizens
and the poorer people of the vicinity
lose one of their most substantial and
helpful friends.
Mr. Day yas born and reared in this
vicinity and with little exception spent
his entire life here. Many years ago
he began lending money on the crop
mortgage plan and he has extended
help to many a poor man who could not
secure help elsewhere. He applied
strict business methods in the transac-
ton of his various affairs and by his
close and careful attention he amassed
large estate, becoming one Of the
leading business men in the county with
connection with numerous institutions
of this vicinity to which he gave of bis
time and his means and toward the
success of which he lent his influence
and help. He was an elder in the
Presbyterian church and one of its lead
ing members, was stockholder and
director in the Fayette County Bank
and the Somerville Building and Loan
Association, was principal owner and
president of the Union Gin & Lumber
Company. and to every one Of these
institutions he was helpful as q part
owner and advisor. He was rightly
counted as one of the safest business
men Of the community, with keen in
sight into affairs Of financial and bust
ness matters.
Mr.. Day was just in the prime of
an active and useful business life. He
was just past fifty three years and
with the energy and vim of man just
out of his teens he was promised many
more years Of usefulness to his com
munity and his friends. He was
married when a young man to Miss
Georgia Russell, who with FIVE chill
dren survive him. OF these children,
two are grown and the youngest IS
quite small. Beside his immediate
family he leaves two brothers and
sister, and an aged mother to whom he
has been her all for many years and
who made her home with him.
He was an active member Of the
Knights of Pyhtias and was fond Of
that order tho in recent years he has
not attended its meetings regularly ow-
ing to his distance from the lodge rooms.
The funeral was held at the Presby-
terian church Thursday morning and
people from all walks of life and from
all parts of the county were present,
taxing the capacity of the church to
accommodate them. The service was
conducted by Rev. c. A. Harper, pastor
of the deceased, and in the course of
the exercise he paid most splendid
tribute to the life and character Of Mr..
Day.
At the grave the gathering was even
larger than at the church. crowding
every foot of available space in the
vicinity of the Day lot in the cemetery,
and the floral offerings were numerous
and beautiful.

informs The Falcon that most of his

and that most demonstrators have been

In any previous year and it has been
impossible for Mr.. Moffatt to reach

He is taking on many whom he will

The ladies of the cemetery associa-
ton have begun spring cleaning at the
cemetery and already the work shows
in the better and neater appearance of
that sacred place. Thru the splendid
work of this body of good women the
cemetery has been kept for many years
and each spring and summer they work
with untiring hands to keep this city
of our dead in good condition. They
use for that purpose only such funds as
are donated for that purpose. Have
you given them any financial help? Its
your turn now.
One Of the most interesting ball
games seen in Somerville in a decade
was played last Tuesday afternoon
when the high school boys met the men
of the ball days of FIVE, six and ten
years ago. 1t was closely contested
game until after the fifth inning when
the members Of the older side began to
show lack of strength to run thru the
contest. and toward the end of the
series the high school boys gained rapid
idly on their opponents to the end when
the score was 20 to s in favor of the
school boys. Those pitted against the
the high school were C. NJ. Reames,
W. M. Mayo, Blake Stainback, ]. L.
Mayo, H. M. Rhes, Harry Mathis, Joe
Scott and Tom Rothrock. The pro-
ceeds Of the days game went to the
high school piano fund.
The dry weather which has prevail ed
here for several weeks past and which
was begening to look a little serious
has been broken by several thunder
storms and good showers during the
present week. Ground which had not
been broken since winter was beginning
&c get very hard and many farmers
were finding difficulty in making salts
factory preparation for the seed plant
ing for the eomming crop. The rains
have been sufficient to help wonderfully
and particularly have they been helpfuI
to gardens and truck patches, berries,
etc.
