AN EX-NEWBERRIAN SPREADING IN WICHITA The Burkburnett Star of Wichita county, Texas, in its issue of January 3 has a sketch and picture of Capt. W. S. Langford of Wichita Falls. If we had the cut it would be used here. we xaKe pleasure iu repruuuuuiK me remarks of The Star for the benefit of Capt. Langford's friends in Newberry. One of the successful business men of this county is W. S. Langford of Wichita Palls, a good likeness of whom accompanies this sketch. Mr. Langford was born in Newberry, South Carolina. He is a graduate of the South Carolina Military Academy of Charleston. During the war nrifh Cnoin MV T .cj n trfnrrl was r?nm missioned captain of Company B, First South Carolina Infantry. At the close of hostilities he was mustered out and given a commission in the U. S. Regular Army, but declined it and was commissioned captain in the South Caroling Militia, which position he held three years. He then entered the wholesale fruit and produce1 busii i?e?s. While on a visit to Wichita Falls a few years ago he found that Texas girls are the cream of the earth, and as a result,* married the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Kemp, of that City, returning 10 souin Carolina, l)efore a year was up he decided to move to Texas, and in June, 1916, moved to Wichita Falls and bought the Motor Supply Company from J. R. McMullen, with the agency of the Ford automobiles. This business unAAfiwA Ttro a OA 1Q r<TA_ UC1 UIO aV/li IC uncblivu naa ow 1UI (3V/ ]y developed that he bought one of the Burkburnett garages,* which he named the Caro Garage. He then bought one of the best corners on Main street in Electra, and built a handsome brick building, which he named the Lina Garage. The names Caro and Lina were taken from the name of his home State. In Wichita Palls the Motor Supply is located at tne corner 01 sixm ana Indiana avenue, in a handsome brick structure specially built for the business by Mr. Langford, it being 100 feet front by 150 feet deep, aad completely equipped for the huge business which as distributor of the Ford cars and supplies, he has firmly established. The Electra establishment is 75 feet front by 140 feet depth, and is the last ^thing in modern garages. Plans had been made for the erection of a garage of similar size in Burkburnett when the building restrictions were clamped down by the War Board, but now that the lid has been lifted, Mr. Langford will, as soon.>as ^conditions have setThe C 01 Condensed Statemi Loans and Invest Liberty Bonds Overdrafts, seci Cash on Hand c i Capital|Stock Surplus and Pre Dividend No. 4; Dividends UnDa A Unearned Inter* Bills Payable Deposits - JNO.

Each garage is completely equipped with repair shops, and carries a full stock of Ford supplies and automobile supplies and accessori ies. The Wichita Falls and Electra 1 garages are worth a special visit by | owners of motor cars. ! Capt. Langford is interested in oil. ! as many of the successful business men of Wichita Falls. In Burkburnett he has substantial stock interests in Hammond No. 2, Green River and the Heinie-Myers Oil Companies, and owns one-fourth interest in the Big 4 on the C. Birk tract. He has been very successful in lease investments, from which he has realized substantial profits. In the Iowa Park section Mr. i Langford secured something like 1,200 acres, part of which he has recently sold, and from which he received large returns on the investment. 1 Mr. .uangiora nas a nanasome nome j in the 2800 block on Tenth street, j Wichita Falls.

Our venerable and beloved brother, Robert Timothy Carmichael Hunter, Past Master, has been cut down by the all devouring scythe of time and gathered into the lanri where our fathers have eabp be fore us. When the summons came to him in the seventy-third year of his life he was enjoying the happy reflections of a well spent life and died in the hope of a glorious immortality. Brother Hunter lived a useful life and fully illustrated the teachings and most excellent tenents of our institution. He was an upright man of spotless integrity, and served his day and generation raitnruuy m an tne relations of life. He was tendier, considerate and true in his domestic relations. He was patriotic and loyal to his State. At the age of sixteen he entered that great army of Northern Virginia and served in that command throughout the great struggle in which it was engaged except for the period of six months when he was a prisoner. Returning home, he engaged in agricultural pursuits, and took an active interest in the affairs of his State and county. He was called to serve his county in tfce house of representatives in the sessions of 1888 land 1889 where his good judgment I onrl Ua woo auu V/V/uuoci ncic v ai ucu. 11c nao j.ui i at least a quarter of a century a member of the Newberry county Democratic executive committee and was several times a delegate from the county to the State Democratic convention.

Imagine not bein^ able to enjoy a single meal in all thai time. Wouldn't you be happy if afte~ all these years you finally discovered a medicine - that relieved your, troubles? Wouldn't you just be ready -.o offer up a prayer of thanksgiving and joy to heaven for the new-found health? T.his, in substance, has been the remarkable experience of a lady wel! known right here in this section. Here 1 are some of the things she says in j effect in her signed statement: | "For 20 years I have been trouble! | i with dyspepsia. I coulJd not eat or | enjoy a single meal. Ifsually threw! I up breakfast. I was terribly consti-1 pated and my liver was all out of or- j ; dert. Hedaches added to ray suffering and I was at a loss to know what , to do. ! "A friend recently called my atten! tion to the newspaper stories about j the new Herb medicine Dreco, ana i; i decided to try it and see if perhaps! | this medicine could bring me relief.! It did, I have taken two bottles of Dreco and already I am able to eat almost anything without pains afterwards. I think it ,1s wonderful the( way this medicine works on the stom-1 ' ach, liver and bowels. I am now I feeling fine and am most grateful for | what Dreco has done for me." (Signed) Mrs. Fannie Oreer Poe Mills, S. C.j Note:?Dreco is now dispensed by modern drug stores everywhere. It is inexpensive, easy to get and pleasant to take. It is particularly rec, ommended in Newberry by Gilder & j Weeks. j ' mamammmmmmammsssasammmmmammmm I i I ! i Conde I I ' 1 i Hie Natiffi Newb From reporl QkmATinrr P/\n/]ifiAi UllUTVlllg VU1XU1UUJ i .
