VAUGHN BOYS MAKE
A HIT IN NEW YORK
The following highly interesting
letter has been received Dy Mrs. Mary
Vaughn, of this county:
West G4 Street,
New York, Sept. 9, 1917.
Mrs. Mary Vaughn,
Chesterfield, S. C.
Dear Madame:
My husband and I have just made
the acquaintance of your two fine
sons, Evan and Frank. So I was
pretty sure that you would like me to
white and tell you about them.
How proud and hannv and how rirh
you must feel to be the mother of
such men! They were with us for
most an hour, and by that time we
felt like real friends, and we want
them to come and visit us whenever
they come to New York. ?
Their camp at Mineola is about 20
miles from this city in a fair open
country and I want to tell you I rarely
have met finer men than these
sons of yours! Please write and tell
me about the other sons and the four
daughters that complete the group.
I don't quite remember which is
Frank, and which is Evan but the
dark haired boy is the one we talked
to most and he admits that he favors
lis mother?that means that he thinks,
his mother the best ever. 1
They tell me you have seven son:
-just think! and how glad 1 would be
to have any number even one or two
but with seven, I should be too proud
for ordinary use, Don t worry about
them dear lady?this training and experience
in life will be most valuable
to them.
My husband is a retired military
man and I am a doctor, so you see
between us, we shall befriend those
boys of yours whenever we can, and
we want them and you to consider
lis friends, glad and willing to be
:alled upon. My husband joins me
in greetings to you and your husband.
We congratulate you.
Your friend,
MARY E. JARVIS.

MRS. W. J. TILLER PASSES AWAY
Mrs. W. J. Tiller, wife of Mr. W. J.
Tiller, County Farm Demonstrator,
died last Sunday at the home of her
brother, Mr. A. J. MeRae, of McFarIcn,
N. C.
Mrs. Tiller had been seriously ill
for many weeks, during which time
a sympathetic community has anxiously
hoped for her ultimate recovery.
Her health began to fail soon after
the death of her little child last May.
and in spite of all that medical skill
could do continued to grow weaker.
From the beginning of her sickness
until the time of her death she was.
a patient sufferer, and seemed more
concerned about her husband and two
little children, twins of six years,
than about herself.
Mrs. Tilller was a devoted member
of St. Paul's Church, and a woman
of the finest character.
Besides her husband and two little
children she leaves three sisters, Mrs.
Eliza Ratliff and Mrs. W. A. Stegall, !
of McFarlan, N. C.; Mrs. R. E. Rivers, '
of Chesterfield, and four brothers,
J. H. Mcltae, of Clio; Duncan McRae
and A. J. McRae, of McFarlan, i
N. C., and Rev. W. V. McRae, of the
North Carolina Methodist Confer. I
ence.
The funeral services were held in
>t. Paul's Church, and were conduct- 1
ed by her pastor, the Rev. J. L. Tyler, '
issisted by the Rev. .J. II. West, of 1
Morven, N. C., the Rev. B. S. Funder- !
burg, and the Rev. Paul T. Wood, i
The body sleeps in the Chesterfield !
Cemetery. . ' >
LITTLE ALLIE PRIVETT
Allie, the ten-month-old baby of
Mr. and Mrs. Michel D. Privett, of
Morven, N. C., after several week's
llness died last Sunday and was buri- [
d at Zoar Church on Monday morn- J
ing. The funeral service was con- ]
lucted by the Rev. J. L. Tyler.
PALMETTO I
Mrs. Emma J. Clauton.
We are sorry to say that M-"S. Emma
J. Clanton died Sept. the 25th
and the body was laid to rest in the
Bayspring Cemetery.
She leaves a husband and eiobt
children and a host of iriends. Mrs. ]
Clanton was well known in Chester
field County. i
She was an intelligent woman. She j
was one of this neighborhood's best
neighbors. We entend our sincerest E
.sympathy to the bereaved family. i

COUNTY FAIR NOV. 7, 8, 9 AND 10
Plans are maturing for the biggest ^

County has ever had. It will be held F
November 7, 8, 9 and 10th, with the '(

served at the first organization in t:
1913; the patrons are assured of pro- n
gressive and efficient management.
Nothing can or need be said at this
time about the entertainment. But; \\
the farm displays are sure to eclipse i
anything ever before seen in this part, ^
of the country. j jj
More varied farm products have (j,
been made this year than ever be- jJ

COUNTY COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
The County Council of Defense and
the respective Township Councils of
Defense are doing good work. At
f'ery school opening advantage is
being taken of the opportunity to
carry a message to the people. Addresses
have been delivered during
the past week at Patrick, Mt. Croghan
and Ruby, by Mr. J. A. Knight
and Mr. G. K. Laney. The work will
be continued under the direction of
the Council of Defense during this
month. Arrangements are being
made for a series of speeches to be
made in Jefferson Township in the
near future, and the same also in Alligator
Township. The Middendorf
Graded Sehoool will open on Monday,
and Messrs. J. A. Knight and C. L.
llunley will make appropriate adilressses
there upon that occasion as
Lo why America came into the war.
The County Council of Defense is
proing to aid in the campaign of publicity
to advertise the second Liberty
bond issue that is now on sale. These
Liberty bonds draw four per cent, interest,
and one can place an application
for same with any bank in the
L-ounty. The government has to have
money with which to run the war. It
is very important that the three billions
of Liberty bonds offered to the
public between October the first to
the 27th, should be liberally subscribed
to.
The intelligent public spirited men
nnd women of Chesterfield county
are requested to aid the County
Council of Defense in advertising the
Liberty bond issue in every manner
possible, and to urge upon every man
in Chesterfield county?that is a land
owner, that he purchase at least one
Liberty bond. lb-cause one does not
have to go to the war himself, it is
no reason why he should not take his
part in same, but as a matter of fact,
if one does not have to do actual
lighting himself, th n nior- rppson
why he should loan the government
his money, in order that those who
have to light in the trenches should
be properly fed and clothed, and protided
with plenty of guns and ammunition.
