The Passing OF A Friend.

1t is seldom that | give vent publicly
to the personal feeling of bereavement
that pervades me when a valued citizen
OF our county passes to the Great Beyond,
but the passing away of Henry Clinton
Allnutt, our late Register of Wills, fills me
so deeply with sense of real loss to the
county that cannot help but desire to
express a tribute to that citizens life.
Mr.. Allnutt was not only man whom
people of all parties and creeds respected,
but in his twenty-five years as Register Of
Wills of Montgomery county was diligent
in his pursuit of duty. loyal to his friends,
kind and courteous to those who visited
his Office in the sad capacity of settling
the affairs and estates of those who had
gone before, and devoted TO his family.
He was a man Of the highest character.
beloved by all who knew him and affection
ately referred to by many Of US who knew
him best as uncle Clint" can see him
now in the old court house at Rockville
with smile upon his face. the hand Of
good fellowship extended. and a kind word
in passing for everyone he knew. 1t can
seldom be said of any man but in all the
years that knew "Clint" Allnutt never
heard him speak unkindly of any man nor
try to injure the character of fellow
citizen.
Not since the death of my dear friend, our
late State Senator J. Dawson Williams, have
I felt so keenly the loss Of one of the county s
public officials as in the passing to his re-
ward of Mr.. Allnutt. He suffered as few of
US here realize; the entire county extends to
his bereaved family its deepest sympathy ;
and yet, with them. we should, as Chris
tians, rejoice in the knowledge of the fact
that after the trials. sufferings and vicis-
STUDIES Of his earthly existence are passed
the soul of Henry Clinton Allnutt is now
at rest with his Heavenly Father in the
Paradise of Heaven from this time forth
for ever more.

religious needs of the young people and
the best methods of meeting those needs.
The leaders of the young people Of your
school need the helpful suggestions of the
Institute. All subjects will be open for
discussion. When we neglect our young
people we are neglecting the church of

fuses to equip himself by training and
study is guilty of trifling with immortal
souls.

Rockville's volunteer fire department is
free of debt. This gratifying information
was impaired at its regular monthly meet
ing last week. It was stated that the
recent annual smoker Of the department
netted $1.050, and that this, with $3.50
already in the treasury, has been used to
wipe out the Indebtedness of 1900. The
fire department has been in existence just
twenty-three months and during that time
has expended approximately $4,000 in
the purchase of equipment. including an
up-to-date engine and a hook-and ladder

Miss Annie Byrd.

March LIST. 1928. about 8 O'Clock. P. M.
Miss Annie Byrd departed this life. The
funeral services were conducted at the
home by Elder X. H. Pittman. of Luray.
Va. He alluded very truly to her quiet.
home life and her trust in her God. Her
remains were then committed to the earth
in Beallsvile cemetery.
Annie was one of those noble women
whose many little deeds Of kindness will
never be known: what she did was done
quietly but always cheerfully and with the
manner of having done nothing.
She spent all her life in her home near
Jacksonville. where she was born. and
where she will be sadly missed. She was
a lover of children and never failed to
give them kindly greeting. Many such
traits could be enumerated but for sake
Of brevity. truly a good woman is gone.

DON'T BECOME CARELESS.

Many cities have recently con-
cluded a strenuous observation of
Fire Prevention Week.
Fire Prevention Week to be
effective and fully preventive should
be observed throughout the year.
The lesson is entirely lost, if,
after a week of vigorous effort to
eliminate all danger of fire, our
people settle back to the old habits
and permit the usual carelessness to
creep back again.
Fire Prevention Week is designat-
ed to call attention to the menace
that exists on every side because of
neglect which results in needless
CONGREGATIONS.
If Fire Prevention Week ha:
taught you anything, see that the
lesson will not be lost in the week:
to come.
Continue to be watchful every
day and keep Fire Prevention Weel
every week in the year.

DOES ADVERTISING PAY?

This has come to be a superfuous
question among men of business.
There was a time when to have de-
clared boldly and out loud in a pub
lie place that it paid to advertise in
the newspapers would probably have
stirred up a chorus of dissenters,
but today advertising is better un-
derstood.
All advertising is good-some adj
vertising is better-but the very
best advertising on the face of the
earth is that which slips into the
hometown paper and goes direct to
the home.
To be sure, the best bit of soil
that ever lay out of doors requires
something more than merely drop
ping the seed into the ground. Give
your newspaper advertising its due
cooperation, have the copy properly
written, and if you are not sure you
can write it so it will get results,
have someone who knows to write
it, and newspaper advertising will
do its full share every time.

SAME RIGHT HERE IN ELY.

The Ishpeming Iron Ore calls at
tention to the danger of following
the fire truck to a fire and especially
arraigns the auto driver who can
not resist the temptation to chase
after the truck on each and every
occasion. In the article, the Ore
says:
"Those who have the habit OF
chasing to fires do not seem to real
ize that they might be injured OF
cause injury to firemen if the fire
truck should come to a sudden stop
to make a hose connection at a
hydrant. Fire fighting apparatus
travels at top speed in answering an
alarm, but it is often necessary for
them to stop within few feet. 1t
was but few weeks ago in Iron
Mountain, that an automobile crash
ed into a fire truck, causing the
death of one of the passengers, and
the driver is now serving term in
prison for manslaughter.
'Keep safe distance away from
fire apparatus and give the fremen
a chance to perform their duties
without running the risk of being
run down. They assume plenty of
risks in their fire work, without hav-
ing to be on the lookout for some
fool autoist."

BANKS AND INSURANCE.

This is no boom article for banks
or insurance but published because
financial and property losses weaken
the community.
In nearly every issue of the
papers will appear accounts of the
burning up of homes.
Often everything in the house
was total loss, including goodly
sum of money, and other valuables.
And the story ends with the words
''they had no insurance"
This is a human interest article to
warn such as do not have their
home, its contents, and all that is
insurable, properly protected.
1t is sound common sense to use
every possible precaution to safe
guard ones property. real and per-
sonal.
So heavy proves the loss to almost
any family that they are for the
time destitute; neighbors care for
them and relatives in another state
are telegraphed to for funds.
1t is also unsafe to leave any sum
of money in home. 1t is best, as
safe rule, not to leave at home or
carry on ones person any great
amount of money.
Banks are the place in which to
leave money, and the checkbook
does the rest. People, who imagine
that when depositing money in a
bank, they are helping that institu-
ton, ought to know better.
1t is the bank that helps them by
providing a safe place for their
funds, and convenient and safe
way of paying their bills.
Many hardships can be avoided
when one takes every precaution to
protect, through insurance, h home,
his personal property, his health and
ward off losses through accident.
