In LOVING MEMORY OF
The LATE LEE B. LAMAR
The Passing of Man Who Possessed
Many Virtues Is Mourned by
Hundreds of Friends.

On September IL, 1917, our whole
community was greatly shocked when
news spread that Mr.. Lee Lamar, one
of Sasser's most highly esteemed cit
liens, had very suddenly passed away.
He had just left his friends up
town, went home whistling, apparent
ly feeling fine, and was preparing
for he and Mrs. Lamar to make
little trip to the farm, when the in
visible hand of death seized upon
him and in a short while he had fin
ished with the things of this life and
was ushered into eternity.
How often we stand appalled, in
the presence of death, bordering in
our hearts over the mystery that has
caused the separation from our
friends and loved ones. 1t is then
we are brought to a realization of
the fact that we, too, some day must
face the awful issue, for 'life is I'M
certain and death is sure"
For number of years Mr. Lamar
was road tax collector, and was we'll
known all over this county. Conse-
quently it is useless to try to ennum-
crate the many good traits in his
character.
Possessing a genial disposition he
made hosts of friends, and being
gifted with a most remarkable mem
DRY, he never forgot an acquaintance.
He always endeavored to carry out
every promise he made. He is miss
ed in his town, in our homes we miss
his cheerful greetings; he never bur-
dened his friends with his troubles,
and although he was afflicted he new
er complained. Seemingly, he was
always on good terms with the world
and his fellowman.
We grieve that he was called away,
still, we know it is a plan of the
great God of the universe and his
ways are right and perfect. SO in
this time of sorrow let us not look
for consolation from the world, but
rest in the love of Jesus, and trust
him for peace that cometh only from
above. A FRIEND.

BUSY AT THE RED
CROSS WORK ROOM
LADIES OF TOWN AND COUNTY
ARE ALL URGED TO HELP
MAKE GARMENTS.

The ladies of the town and coun-
ty are urged to come to the work
room over the fire department, and
help make the garments that are so
much needed by our soldier boys.
The room is opened on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday afternoons
from 2 o'clock. If you can't stay up
there and sew you may take a gar
ment home with you to make. There
Will be some one to check in and out
the work and to give the necessary
instructions.
Some of our communities have
asked for garments by the dozen to
make. If all the communities of the
county would do this it would help
get much work done. Boys from
all parts of the county are giving
their services, and we feel sure that
our women want to help make them
comfortable if they can find out
what to do.
No woman or girl in the county
need feel there is nothing for her to
do, for there is urgent need for the
help of every one, cutting, stitching,
basting, working button holes, sew
ing on tape, etc. If you can't do
one thing you can do another. If
you can't stay at the work room car
ry something home with you, but let
every one feel their services are
needed. The room is warm, light
and comfortable, and you are always
gladly welcomed. The garments are
simple and easily made
By special permission the gar
ments being made now will go to
Camp Wheeler instead of to head
quarters, because of the emergency
there occasioned by the epidemic of
measles. For this reason the work
room will be opened on Monday of
this week also. SO let us make an
especial effort these next few days.
Respectfully, CHAIRMAN.

The Cassiuses do not sleep well

something is going to happen to
them, but they don't know what.
And nobody can find out.
But this much is certain: the out
put of pleasure cars and of trucks,
not used by the government, is going

The automobile men will probably
have to ship most of their cars over
country roads under their own power.
Automobiles are made mostly of
steel, and about all the available steel
has already been contracted for by
the government, or will be.
