Ay 4OoL q 6OO0 S1IlAChs A4C SbAA
Martha, his wife, were the only COL
ored people living in this immediate
community. For the past forty years,
before becoming physically incapaci-
tated, Jack worked for many of the
summer and all-year residents of the
two towns, and he always did his work
well. He took much pride in being
counted a good worker. He was a
member of the Baptist church, kindly,
gentle, unasuming and devoted hus-
band. His widow, Martha, and one
brother, Wade, of Wheeling, survive.
He was born in Eastern Virginia,
August Is, 1867, and died December
80, 1881. The funeral was held from
his late home, Rev. Bailey officiating.
Interment was made at Pleasant VAL
ley, January 1, at two o'clock in the
afternoon.
Warning to Peddlers
Mayor Hardesty, of Loeb Lynn, de-
sires through this column to warn all
persons that Section of Chapter 5 of
the ordinances of the town will be
rigidly enforced. This section pro-
vides that no person shall hawk or
peddle goods, wares or merchandise
(unless made or produced by them
selves) without first having applied
for and AIKEN out license. Informa-
ton has been received that itinerant
peddler: are more or less active in
the community.
The Park Institute
The citizens of Loeb Lynn and the
Park have already subscribed a sub
stantial sum towards the budget of
the Mountain Lake Park Institute,
which contemplates putting on a
rather pretentious program here next
summer. 1t is proposed to make this
a permanent institution and will go a
long ways in rehabilitating the Park
and add to the assets of the county.
1t is gratifying that this immediate
community, in spite Of the depression
and unemployment, is meeting the sit
uation with real spirit and enthusi-
asm.
In addition to those who have sub
scribed, others have promised to put
their names on the dotted line.
