FATHER-IN-LAW OF COLONEL
DoCkERY DEAD.

The following is clipped from the
Tacoma Daily Ledger, of Tacoma,
Washington, of date February 18th,
and will be of interest to Richmond
county friends of Colonel Oliver
Dockery, who is now stationed at
Camp Lewis, Washington:
A dispatch received at Camp Lewis
yesterday announced the death in At
lantic City, N. j., on February IA, of
Augustus H. Kelsey, the father of
Mrs Dockery, wife of Colonel Oliver
Hart Dockery, Jr.. Third division adj
lutant general.
Mr.. Kelsey died suddenly in his Win
ter home in Atlantic City Tuesday.
The body will be taken for burial to
Newark, Ohio, where Mrs. Dockery is
Fastening to the funeral of her father,
Mr.. Kelsey was a commanding figure
| in the industrial and business affairs
of Ohio and Pennsylvania, being prob
ably the largest cut and table glass
ware manufacturer in the country. He
had for many years been president of
the American Protective Tariff League
and recently has devoted much of his
time to meetings of the congressional
committees in Washington in the fran.
ing of schedules in the pending tariff
legislation.
He was warm personal friend OF
President Harding. They were close
political and busi~e ss associates in
Ohio, and Mr. Kelsey was'very influen-
tial in securing the Republican nomi.
nation for his friend and neighbor, and
has always been a welcome visitor at
the White House, He also took deep
interest in the works of charity and in
lettering living conditions of work
ing men and became a staunch cham
pion of the Salvation Army.
Employing many thousands of men
and women in his glass factories, he
never had a strike or lockout or labor
disturbance. He was one of the strong
men with Mr.. Hoover in Ohio and the
Middle West in organizing the Belgian
and Serbian Relief Commissions dur
ing the war.
Born of noble Hanoverian ancestry,
his family resented the HohenEollern
domination Of Germany and emigTated
to America. AS consequence Mr..
Kelsey felt bitter towards the Prus-
sian military leaders who he believed
instigated the World War.
He was himself soldier in the Civil
War, major in famous Pehnsylva-
MIA regiment which bore the brunt of
Pickett's charge at Gettysburg, and
for which he was decorated for BRAY
cry in action. He was II years old
and is survived by widow, three
sons and two daughters. Colonel
Dockery married his youngest daugh-
ter.

Mrs. Kelly Heard From.

Dear Post Dispatch family:
AS it has been quite a while
since wrote any thing for the
Post-Dispatch, will send a few
lines. We came here just one
month ago. We are located two
miles from Hamlet and like here
on the farm fine, and what we
like best of all is being back in
Old Richmond county. People
here are very busy pruning and
spraying fruit trees and getting
things in shape for farming.
Some of our women folks are
making fancy work for the COM
ing County Fair. They are max
ing lunch sets ranging in price
from So to $22. They are beau
tifully made on pure linen. They
are something that anybody
would be proud to own.
I am sending a few items from
our part of the country that you
all may see we have no need to
get lonesome out here.

Dots on the Hoffman School

One goes to Hoffman High School
To work and mind the rule,
AS long as that is nothing
But play and act the fool.
We study in the classroom,
We study in the hall,
And perhaps we learn little,
If we do not learn it all.
Our teams play ball at recess,
And every game they win it,
If you don't believe that this is so,
Just come and play "agin' it."
We run and fight and boiler,
And make heap of fuss,
We "sull" and do most everything,
'Cept we do not cuss.
The pupils all are very good,
The faculty is better,
All measure up to the average
If not up to the letter.
We think old Hoffman mighty good,
But some say she is slow,
If you go to better school,
l say, where do you go?"
From members of the 9th grade.
