Tne Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, November 25, 1903. Billy Feliz's Letter. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Before this reaches the readers of the Dispatch you will have passed through our parts and we trust beaming all over with joy at the good fortune you had in collecting dues for this paper. ^ Since our last communication death passed this way and invaded the home of Mr. W. Andrew Derrick and claimed for his victim our esteemed brother, Mr. John S. Brooker. He * - ? J?? Uool^k fnf Q nas oaea m umuuu^ udciivu v. -ODg time and the end was expected. He was in his 75th year. The writer has known him since my boyhood days. He seemed almost a father to ns. He served in the Civil War and -a braver and truer soldier never marched upon the battle field. He was a farmer and numbered one among our best. He was a consecrated member of the Baptist faith and remained true and loyal to his Savior to the end. He was a devoted husband, a kind and affectionate father, and a faithful child of God. A loving wife and two dutiful and obedient daughters precede him to the Spirit Land. One son and two daughters are left to mourn bis death and a half-brother, our esteemed and honored friend Dr. W. T. Baooker. He breathed his last about 12 o'clock on the 11th of this month. The funeral services were conducted by N. A. Hemrick and Vernon I'Anson in the presence of a large sorrowing friends and relatives. His remains were laid to rest in the Swansea burying ground to await the summons. Oar hearts go out in deep sympathy to the bereaved ones aDd we commend them to the loving care of a gentle Savior. We understand that the Swansea graded school will open up on the 16ch inst, with able and experienced instructors. Already the schools at Athens and Gaston have opened with good attendance. Prof. J. V. Smith, that prince of teachers, has charge of the former while W. B. Fallaw has the later. With a little pluck, push and "apondulix" supplimented wifh the appropriated money now received, there can be from eight to ten months of school. Good teachers near who can advance the students to a good practical education or prepare them for college. The trustees will do the right thing to vote a special school > tax to run these schools or any other for that purpose and give their children the best possible education. The school at Athens for instance has been worked up, some improve ments made, more are being made and the writer would suggest thai under the present management of t competent board of trustees and th< ? efficient Professsr that they woulc do the wise thing to enlarge the roon and expand. A splendid echoo room is there now, but more is need ed and needed badly. At Gaston we have a splendic school room 25x40 and with a littli more work on the inside it will b< second to none. With the unitec effort of trustees, patrons and teach er it is hoped that a first class schoo will be built up at this place. Le . all in the district lend a helping han< and do the very best you can. Swansea claims a "Graded School, Athens a "High School'* and Gasto: ?well the writer will suggest tha it be called the Gaston "English an Classical Institute." Oar people are preparing to so1 small grain. Some has sowed a ready. Sow plenty, 'ye farmers, an make your home supplies and let be independent. We can do it. Mr. Editor, what has become < the "Good Road Convention?"

Wise, were adopted: Whereas, God has, in His inscrutable providence, again reminded us of our mortality by removing from among us a Brother who had grown old under the precepts of Free Masonry, therefore; Resolved, That in the death of our Brother Wise, whose lo7e for Masonry was instrumental in organizing this Lodge and who was honored by being its first Master, the order has lost a staunch supporter, bis family a kind husband and affectionate father.
