He rose within a tew years
from an employe in a retail store
to the proprietorship of one of

much to say that in his business
he commanded ths respect of his
trade and competitors.

ary Baptist church of which he
continued an active and consist-
ent member until bis death
which occured 8ept. 21st, 1917,
by accidental discbarge of a
pistol.
The extensiveness of his ao
quaintance and the number of
his friends was best exemplified
by the enormous crowd which
gathered at his home shortly af
ter the accident and whioh re-
mained throughout the night
during the last dark hours pre-
ceding his death and indeed un-
til the interment and until every
thing was done that could be
done to show the sympathy ' and
•orrow of his friends.
He was a student cf Baylor
University of Texas for three
years and wan at the head of the
Athletic Club. He wss superin-
tendent of the 8unday aohool at
Olustee also in Duke. *
Funeral eervioea were held at

ember 22nd. and interment was
made at Altua cemeterv. The

old time friend.
In the desth of Mr. Fesra,
Duks has lost one uf her most
substantial citisens, an unassum
ing man whose walk in life and
whose silent influnece was worth
more than oan be told to the
youth of his oommunity and an
aching void is left in the heart of
his faithful wife that oan never
be filled.

Is Your Money Working
As It Should?
Is it helping to build up Duke and the surrounding
country or is it helping to build up some other town?
Is it buried and serving no one or is it de-
posited in the local Bank, where it will be
used to help your neighbors and friends?
You don't owe us your business unless you own
property or have an interest in the developing of
this country or owe us money.
Think this over.
