DEATH OF J. NJ. FEE

Mr.. James NJ. Fee, Of the Almyra
community, died at his home last
Monday evening about o'clock. Mr..
Fee had been in poor health the last
few years, but his family and friends
did not think that the end was so
near until the early part Of last
week, when a stroke of paralysis
came on him, very visibly affecting
the entire left side of his body and he
gradually grew worse until the end
came.
Mr. Fee was native Of Chester
county, S. c., but when near grown,
an orphan boy, came to this county
with some relatives and settled near
ldaville, in which commpnity most
Of his life has since been spent.
He was married to Miss Cora Lee
Faulkner, a daughter Of the late
late Thomas L. Faulkner, who pre-
coded him to the grave some IL
years To them were born two sons
and one daughter, all of whom sur
vive him. They are j. T. and Sam
uel Fee and Miss Eugenia Fee
Mr.. Fee was about SO years of
age. In early life he became a mem
Der Of the Baptist church and also
a Mason; a good citizen and neigh
Dor. After funeral services in Salem
church Tuesday by Rev. B. Bettes,
his remains were laid to rest by the
Masonic fraternity in salem Gene
terv beside his late wife.
A very sad incident Of Mr.. Fees
death was that last Friday. when he
was so low, his only daughter, Miss
Eugenia Fee, was taken wit ha VIC
lent case of appendicitis and had to
be rushed Friday night TO St.
Joseph's Hosnital in Memphis for an
operation The operation was per-
formed early Saturday morning.

completed by Private John McGregor,
of the Second Division, believed by
veteran infantrymen in Washington
to establish a new record for long
distance hiking with full pack for
the army.
Maj.-Gen. Hartford, executive as
sistant to Gen. Pershing, chief of
staff, made public the official re-
ports Of McGregor's feat, showing
that he covered the last 500 miles Of
the march in IA days, An average Of
more than 35 miles day. The en-
tire distance covered was 1,100 miles,
from San Antonio, Texas, to Denver,
Colo, and was made in 40 marching
days.
McGregor carried a pack contain
ing full field equipment, weighing
about As pounds during the whole of
the march. This feature was re-
garded by infantry officers as the
most remarkable part Of the test.
They asserted that the hike probably
could be made, by experienced march
ers in the same time, provided they
carried the light pack, but that rec
ords contained no parallel feat with
the heavier pack.
Private McGregor walked from
Winnipeg, Canada, to Alberta, a
distance of 1900 miles before he
enlisted in the army in 1917 He was
born in Canada, but served with the
American air service in France dur
ing the war, re-enlisting in 1919.
