John ]. Dinsmore

After an illness of but a few
days, pneumonia which followed
influenza removed from earth
one of our good men Saturday
February %. John j. Dinsmore,
son of Samuel and Mrs. Dins-
more was born July 2, 1862 and
spent practically the entire time
of his life on the farm owned by
his parents and subsequently by
him.
January l8, 1891 John j. Dins.
more and Miss Rachel Perkins
were united in marriage and
surviving the deceased are his
widow, daughters Mrs. Jennie

Alice P. deceased some years
ago.
Funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. W. H. Roberts at
New Hope Baptist church Of
which the deceased was a mem
ber and interment at Asbury
Chapel Monday March |.
Some characteristics of the
DECEASED endeared him to all who
knew him. 1t is doubtful
sif any one ever heard him repeat
a vile or harmful story of any
kind told by a gossip about one
of hiO acquaintance. Kind,
neighborly, ready to help his
friesls. enough of good fellow.
ship to take part in jollities and
honest in all his dealings, he
was a good man and his death
has been a severe stroke of mis-
fortune to his neighborhood.
Visiting a sick neighbor when he
himself was afflicted lent impulse
to the treacherous disease which
has scourged this country for
months. Few men more devot-
ed to family and friends than
was Jack" Dinsmore can be
found.

The objects of the meetings
will be to fully acquaint every
one with all matters pertaining

derstand, person should know
whether or not he endorses.
There are contemplated no
changes in plans from those in
the past in the county other than
a greatly reduced membership
fee, and a larger membership.
We are not conducting any
''hurry-up campaign, but want
everyone to fully understand,
then if he thinks it for the good
of the county, he is expected to
approve, and if he does not
think it f)r the best, he is ex-
pected to disapprove.
We believe every farmer in
Charlton County is willing to at
least grant a hearing, and if our
plans do not look good or are not
good for our county they should
be turned down.
We want you to watch for the
date uf the meeting nearest you.
Tell everybody about it. We
know you may be busy, but we
will not take much of your time.
When these meetings are over
your decision will then be rem
dered. and the future of the
Charlton County Farm Bureau
will be known.
We think il the duty of every.
one to act for or against, accord
ing TO an honest, unprejudiced
opinion, based on actual infor.
