Mrs. Mary Hartley Sheriff.,
VIE Of William Sheriff., deceased
was born August II, 1880. She
died November 1G, 1917, aged
81 years, 3 months and 2 days.
Endocarditis was the cause OF
her death. She leaves three Sons

Lula Sheriff. OF Kansas, all of
whom are highly resp cted citi-
zeDs. Mrs. Sheriff. had been u
member Of Pine Grove Advent
Christian Church for about 80
years coming in as a charter
member. She was a firm believer
in the doctrine of life only thru
Jesus Christ our Lord, and that
immortal life was q gift to be
obtained at the resurrection OF
the dead, and then only to those
who are obedient to the com.
mands of the gospel. She believ-
ed that "the righteous shall be
recompensed in the earth much
more than the wicked and the
sinner" She believed that "the
hour is coming in which all that
are in the graves shall hear his
voice, and shall come forth: they
that have done good, unto the
resurrection of life; and they that
have done evil unto the resurrec
tion of damnation.
She looked for Il city beyond
the grave (Which hath founda.
tions whose builder and maker
is God"
We do not believe she will be
disappointed. She was very
punctual in her attendance at
church, Rarely ever missed a
service when she was able to be
present. She will be missed in
her home, in her community and
in the church. She was not un-
willing to give Of her means to
help support the cause OF tru:h
| that she loved. The time is not
! far distant when we will meet

Christmas N tho ArmJ CAMPS.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT: Justa few
lines to let you know that We, as
soldiers, have had one of the jol-
Iiest Christmases ever. Those of
us who were in the hospital were
'oked after with special care.
On Christmas eve there was a
small tree placed in each OF the
wards and beautifully decorated.
Then on the morning following
at 1890 O'Clock, four beautiful
young ladies came through each
ward and delivered the presents,
which consisted OF all orange, an
apple, a pair OF socks, some cam
dy and d ten.cent pack of cigar
cites. There was not a single sol
der overlooked, each one receiv-
ing something that, no doubt,
made him think of his childhood
days when at home among his
boy hood associates.
At 1890 the mess call was
sounded, all gladly responding
marching as usual to the mess
hall. There we found upon the
table before us one OF the finest
dinners that could reasonably be
spread in the army camps. 1t
consisted OF turkey, sweet pota-
toes, asparagus cranberry sauce,
pumpkin pie, grapes, oranges,
ice cream and cake. At supper
we had practically the same as
for dinner, with butter, soupand
cigars added. This is only a re.
port for the base hospital, but l
understand that each man in his
camp Jared equally as well il not
better.
l believe oil OF the boysare get
ting along fine, especially the
Watauga crowd. who are al
ways jolly, have q smile for ev-
cry one, caused by looking on
the bright side OF life. Wishing
oil a happy New Year,

Income Tax Officer to Visit Watauga.

Statesville, n. c., December 26,
l91T.-Col|ector of Internal Re.
venue Watts today announced
that 10 officers will start from
his headquarters on January LIST
and on January 2 every one OF
them will he on the job in the
county assigned him, to meet
the people and help them make
out their income tax returns.
The officer assigned to this coun-
ty will be at the following places
and dates as follows:
Blowing Rock, Jan. Is & 1G.
Boone, Jan. Is to "a, inclusive.
''It will be well for every un-
married person whose net income
for 1917 is 81 900 or over, and
every married person living with
wife or husband whose net IN.
come for 1917 is ~ 600 or over,
to call on the income tax man
and learn whether or not they
have any tax to pay" Collector
Watts said today. "The person
subject to tax who doesn't make
return IN the time prescribed is
going to regret it. The Govern
'nent will get af'cr all income
tax slackers.
"a multitude of business ard
professional men, traders and
farmers, who did nothave toray
heretofore. will have to pay this
year. The safe thing to do is
for every person who had a total
income of $1 900 or $4,000, as
the case may be, and who is not
sure about what deductions the
law allows him, to play it safe
by calling on the income tax
man."

The following is an extract
from a letter received by Prof. |
G. Greer, from Mr.. W. W. String
fellow:
81 suppose the good women OF
Boone will give the unfortnnates
OF the County Home their Christ
mas dinner, as usual. SO Mrs.
Stringfellow and myself wish the
ladi~s to use the enclosed check
of $500 toget them some warm
under clothes, orwhat they think
will be most useful to them in the
way OF clothing. | suppose the
Boone merchants for such an Oh.
ject will give them to them at
cost so as to make it go as faI
as possible
[Yes, the ladies of the village
served a most enjoyable dinner
to the secluded inmates OF the
would-be county home, on the
26th of Dec. The much.appecia.
ted check was expended for un'
derwear, as requested, aud each
one of them is now in possession
of two full suits, llr which they
are devoutly thankful. And The
Democrat, in behalf of those ap-
preciative people and the ladies
of the village, wishes to hear
tily thank Mr.. and Mrs String
fellow for their thoughtful con
tribution to this worthy cause. ]

The Return Of a Soldier Boy.

On the morning of Dec. 23. our
nearest neighbor soldier boy,
Mr.. Rufus Ward, arrived at his
ho me at Watauga Falls, having
Travelled oil night, SO anxious
was she to see his parents, wife
and Lite child. His furlough was
granted for only five days, and
one of his chief desires was to
unite himself with Antioch church
and at his request our pastor,
Rev. j. ii. Farthing, was asked
to hold an especial service or
that purpose, and, accordingly,
he was received and baptised in
to full membership with the
church, after the ice, two or three
inches thick, had been cut from
the river.
Rufus was called to the colOrs
on Sept. 7, and assigned to Camp
Jackson, at Columbia, $. {. We
are proud OF him as a soldier for
his country, and are so glad
that he has declared to the world
that he is "a soldier of the cross.
May the special blessings OF God
rest upon him and all the soldier
boys.
