The Weather

Last Friday night and Saturday
morning, we were favored with var
| iety of weather. Snow, sleet, rain,
wind, thunder and lightning were OF
served during the night. On Satur-
day morning there was about three
inches of sleet on top of which was a
smooth coating of ice. 1t was I'M
necessary for the boys to seek the
river or the ponds to skate, for they
skated along the different. streets and
from one end of town to the other.
The weather was comparatively warm
for this winter-from six to sixteen
degrees below ,he freezing point. 1t
was dangerous for pedestrians TO at
tempt to walk on the pavements. After
few wagons and automobiles broke
the crust, the turnpike afforded the
best walk.
On Monday afternoon about
O'Clock, it began to snow again, and
during the night reached a depth OF
several inches.

lie Didn't Catch Him.

In some parts of this county.
tamrac, a vile decoctiop, OF black
strap molasses and other ingredients
has been manufactured. 1t is sub
stitute for the rye whiskey and apple
brandy which before prohibition days
gave the boys SO much pleasant ex-
citement. Tamrac produces drink
even more substantial, one which lasts
a longer time.
Last week a revenue officer visited
Woodstock and saw barrel lying
outside of one of our stores. His
suspicion was at once excited and he
kept his eyes on that barrel through
the night, expecting some enterpris-
ing tamrac manufacturer to haul it
away.
The next morning he learned that
the merchant had received a barrel
of New Orleans syrup late in the day
and neglected to put it in his cellar.

Road to Success Lies Through
Advertising,

Bradstreet's SAYS that 1884 per cent
of all failures are among nonadver-
tisers!n
Which, considering the source OF
declaration, is pretty conclusive proof
that advertising pays.
When Bradstreet's says tn t only Is
per cent of b. siness failures are among
advertisers the statement has real
significance.
No business firm ever became truly
great except by the aid of adver-
Using?
Like competition, advertising is the
"life of trade" Without it, in
modern days and under modern BUSH
ness conditions, no commercial CT
other business concerns can achieve
the success that it can with it.
That Ia automatic as every sue
cessful business man will attest.
Outside possibly of personality and
integrity advertising is the mightiest
force, positive and potent, in present
day commerce and business. Atlanta

In Memory of the Late
Andrew Jackson Boyer

Andrew Jackson Boyer departed
this life, January 3, 1918, at his home
"Grand View" near Stephens CITY,
Virginia, after short illness. He
had almost reached the seventy-ninth
mile stone of life. being seventy eight
years and nine months old. Born In
the Fort Valley April 3, 1899, son
of William and Regina Stickley
Boyer, he lived in that section until
about 1880, when he moved to Fred
erick county, where he lived until his
death. On November Doth: 1873, he
married Bette r Miley, who pre-
ceded him to the grave in August,
|19l4. Three children, Emile K. and
Carmel Boyer and Anna G. Maphls,
one daughter-in-law, one son-in law,
and three grandchildren, and i've
brothers mourn his departure.
His life was an active one; being
blessed with a strong mind and body,
he was a very industrious and hard
working man. OF him 1t can truly be
said that, "None knew him but to love
him, none named him but to praise. "
A patient and considerate husband, a
devoted and loving father, kind and
helpful neighbor. friend to all mar
kind was Andrew Jackson Boyer. He
stood for all that was upright and
just. A man of the highest Integrity
and honor, whose influence for good
in the community was far-reaching
and whose life is one to be emulated.
He was patriot of the highest type,
having served his beloved Southland
during the Civil War, and maintain
ed an active interest In National and
State affairs until his death. He
|connected himself early in life with
the Church of God and was staunch
christian. faithful in his attendance
upon the worship of God. "His de
light was in the law of the Lord, aud
in His law did he mediate day and
night" He goes from us, and his
life is benediction to all who knew
him. "Blessed are the dead who die
in the Lord, and their WORKS DO
follow them.
His son-in law, Fred D. Maphis.
